Duolingo Earlier AI Features and Newest features made possible by GPT-4
Personalized Learning
This is company’s first AI application. Its students collectively complete about 1.25 billion exercises. Students collectively do this exercise daily. The app captures and analyzes the data of each student in real-time using machine learning (ML) algorithms. This enables company to gain insights into students’ learning behaviors and determine how to use the app more effectively.
Automated Feedback
Duolingo creates interactive learning experiences. For example, students can get automatic feedback on their speech and grammar exercises. This application can provide users with instantaneous feedback on their language usage and suggestions on how to enhance it.
English Testing
AI is also used in the English testing system that is used by over 4,000 institutions, colleges, universities and government organizations to assess the abilities and aptitude of non-native speakers. The test is done on webcam. This AI generates test items, evaluates their difficulty level, automatically grades them, and provides an overall performance review before releasing the test scores.
