The AI adapts to every learner
In every simulation, the AI adjusts the conversation in real time to the person speaking.
- It adapts to the learner's level: pace, vocabulary and complexity evolve along with them.
- It takes the learner's first language into account where relevant, to better understand and adapt to them.
- It gives constructive feedback based on the mistakes actually made, without judgment.
- It answers the learner's questions during the simulation and rephrases as many times as needed.
