Company mission

To empowering the next billion learners to overcome language barriers and seize new opportunities.

Our take

Learning a new language is no easy feat, but the era of learning apps has certainly made it more simple and accessible than ever before. Hoping to improve the experience even more is Praktika.ai - a company employing GenAI avatars to make the language learning experience feel more natural.

Through the Praktika app, users can access 1-to-1 tutorship powered by these avatars, which have individualised backgrounds and a range of accents. The company's aim is to combine the precision of a tutor with the fun of an app, supplying lessons, practice and feedback through a colourful UI.

Aiming to compete with tutorship rather than other learning apps, Praktica stands out as a cost-effective way for individuals to access 1-to-1 learning on their own schedule and from anywhere. This approach has led to a fundraise of over $30 million, which will be used to heighten the app experience, improve avatar accuracy and add new languages.
