And finally - huge congrats to the Realtime team at OpenAI. This launch is a fundamental step towards making our interactions with technology more natural, fluid, and healthy. An immense amount of work at crazy pace went into this launch and we’re inspired and excited to continue.

This is just the beginning and there are still limitations that we expect to improve dramatically in the near future. We’re excited to continue releasing this realtime tech across many different surfaces in Speak in the coming months.

And of course all of our lessons are driven by our proprietary learning engine so these Live Roleplays (along with all of our lesson types) happen as part of a wider learning sequence personalized to the learner.

The result is a user experience that is far more specialized and helpful for our learners! Today, we’re announcing Live Roleplays, a new Speak experience that combines Realtime API with our learning engine to enable immersive speaking practice in a variety of roleplay scenarios.

We think it’s more important than ever to create a product experience that’s purpose-built for language learning by combining the best technology, product design, and pedagogy. This is what enables a real path to language fluency beyond the first 15 minutes of interaction.
