Our approach is grounded in efficacy: we continuously test and improve our methods to ensure learners make meaningful progress. We also believe in democratizing education by offering an effective, high-quality free product. Developing a great free product is essential to our mission, ensuring that anyone with a smartphone can access learning that works. When it comes to utilizing AI tools, we have a golden rule: we use it when it clearly improves outcomes for learners. We don’t use it as a shortcut or a replacement for people, but as a tool to enhance learning experiences and efficacy.
