Context

Rivière Yuan, an EdTech company working between France and China, wanted a platform to learn Chinese in middle and high school: lessons that teachers adapt to their classes, and students who each progress at their own pace.

Approach

We owned the product and the code: students' and teachers' needs, learning paths, MVP scoping, then development of the complete application. Generative AI helps teachers create their content and personalizes the learning paths; speech recognition assesses pronunciation.

Deliverables

  • Lessons and teaching content created by teachers, assisted by generative AI
  • Homework: creation, submission and grading
  • Speech recognition and pronunciation assessment
  • Progress adapted to each student's level
  • Chatbot, image generation, cultural context
