Dualingo , the language learning start-up, has added AI-based chatbots to its app to help users practice conversations. Initially, the new feature is only available for Spanish , German and French , but more languages will be added soon. The bots guide users through text conversations, correcting mistakes and offering suggested responses if required, with conversations becoming more complex over time. The feature only works for Spanish, French and German for now but the company is planning on adding more languages soon. Creating AI that can understand language is a very difficult task and one that Facebook, Microsoft and Google are devoting more resources to. Duolingo says that because its bots are powered by AI, their responses will improve the more people use them.
