Looking for tech-founder for an edtech company

Hi! This is my first post on Indie Hackers, sorry if something is not in order.

I'm Brazilian. Although English is extremely important and necessary, 95% of the population in Brazil don't speak it. The reason? The way it's taught.

I've decided to execute a plan, which is an English bot (initially on WhatsApp), that in the future will be also be an education platform/app.

I need help with creating an MVP, that will be a bot on WhatsApp or Telegram. Then I'll be able to do some market testing with the community I'm building on the company's Instagram.

If you're looking for a side-project (or even a main-project) with someone who works hard and does not give up, please reach out to me via email at thyagolrodrigues@gmail.com

    How do you plan to compete with services like Duolingo?

      Hi @dumbmachine. Thank you for your question. The main purpose is to not teach English like these other services. I want it to be learned by the users in a fun way, for instance: the bot teaching the difference between “any x some” in a casual message in the morning and then, later, send a message with a topic that the student has to use this knowledge. Ideally, in the future, also have the feature to talk to an English speaker for X hours per week. In other words, teach it on real life.

        From what I understand this task seems more about having content generated (already) for the user, rather than developing an AI chatbot to train the user
