Google coded a Duolingo clone in Google search. But of course it's only available in select markets and it is 99.999% guaranteed to be killed within 3 years

Solidly a "were using AI to do cool things, but those cool things don't improve our core business" project.

This product only makes sense to exist where Google is trying to show it gets AI, once it becomes more commoditized and integrated with language apps then they'll be forced to confront the fact that teaching is not just translation, and the expert knowledge of language apps will beat them.

I'm bearish on the longevity of this one.

(The base of this tech does help their business, this front end doesn't)
