AI Character Japanese Language Learning Platform

Learn Japanese through natural conversation with AI characters in a gamified experience

Challenge

Traditional Japanese language learning tends to be monotonous, with sustained motivation being a challenge. Practical conversation practice opportunities were limited, leading to the problem of having knowledge but being unable to speak.

Solution

Introduced mission-based gamification for learning JLPT N5→N1 through a story format. Achieved real-time voice dialogue using GPT-4o and Whisper API, and immersive conversations with anime-style characters via Live2D.

Result

Completed development from requirements definition to MVP release in 6 months
