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
