According to The Information website, Tivoli, a language learning app developed by Google, will be presented later this year.
The platform, according to the source, will exploit artificial intelligence and will be usable by computers, smartphones and tablets.
It will work with texts and can be called up by the web giant's searches.
Although still to be formalized, the IT base of the Tivoli project should be LaMDA, a linguistic model presented during the I / O 2021 days, the Google conference dedicated to developers.
On that occasion, Big G had talked about a linguistic model for dialogue applications, with the aim of making AI reach a "human" level of conversation. In practice, Tivoli could make it easier to learn new languages by providing a natural interaction between the system and the user, as if in front of a real tutor. Last year the company part of the Alphabet group launched the Read Along app, an app to help children improve their reading skills through a series of exercises, with support for English, Hindi, Spanish and Portuguese. However, the sector is quite inflated: companies like Babel, Duolingo and Rosetta Stone offer apps dedicated to learning a foreign language, even without such extensive use of artificial intelligence.
According to data from Meticulous Research, the language learning market will reach the value of 21.2 billion dollars by 2027.
