Duolingo Bots - AI-powered characters to teach language conversation

Awesome work! 👊👍

This is such a super duper implementation of a chatbot!

This makes learning Spanish much, much more fun and effective. Great job Duolingo team!

forming my own sentances was the main problem with Duolingo, this is spot on!

This is just brilliant. I'm ecstatic to use this new feature! Great job guys!

@jckmgn & co, nice work! Few of us agree out here that this must be one of the smartest uses we've seen for bots.

I'm definitely a fan of this approach to learning a language. I've been part of a WhatsApp group in Sydney of South American people and following their chats has been super helpful in understanding Spanish. I find it helps to understand what people are saying more so than speaking the language though. I used Duolingo bots last night - not sure if it incorporates voice or not yet, but I think once it does that will be another great feature.

I want to try this! I wish there was an Android version 😫😫😫

Duolingo is the best language tool I've found so far, and the bots are a big feature win

Pros:

Easy to use, voice option is between good and great, good change of pace from rest of product

Cons:

Duolingo's voice recognition isn't the best yet, but clearly improving

Any plans to converse based on your current skill level? I was quite taken aback by some intermediate Spanish sentences which I had no answer for. Felt a little frustrating.
