Hi, ProductHunt! This is Jack from Duolingo. Today, we're incredibly excited to announce a new feature called Bots - the most advanced way to learn a language.

@jckmgn Is that only restricted to the English version of the App? I don't see the feature in the French version to learn Spanish... anyway great use case for a chat bot, very smart guys!

@adhambad One does earn XP toward your daily goal in case there was a confusion there. One quality chat equated to two lessons worth of XP in my tests.

@jckmgn Accidentally bumped into this new functionality yesterday and it just immediately clicked; this is a **perfect** use case for bots!

Fantastic new feature, A++!
