And that's where I would, uh, say that a good idea is a language AI or language tutoring application. Uh, Obviously the chat GPT voice to voice model is currently pretty expensive. My inclination is that that will significantly decrease in cost over time or other models will come out of similar functionality with decreased cost.

So by building a language tutoring application where you are just always up to date with the newest AI functionality and you build the UI around around sort of dynamic learning. Like as we know, Duolingo generally has more static modules that you go through, A, B, C. You build a language learning application that updates dynamically.

I think that there's a lot of value there, a lot of value to be created as well as a lot of value to be captured. People who want to learn languages are generally pretty high intent. So I think that that'd be a pretty awesome one to build.

Yeah, this is exactly what people said to me when we were building CalAI. People are like, dude, my fitness pal is so big. They're going to build in this space. And my answer was, well, they won't work as hard as us. Their incentives internally are not aligned to the point where they will be able to iterate and progress as quickly as us. So here's what I mean by that.

The engineers at MyFitnessPal, like MyFitnessPal to begin with, has been like traded back and forth, sold so many times that the people that are doing the groundwork don't like probably don't have that much equity, you know? And so the engineers don't care that much. Like they're just kind of doing their job. similar with the social media managers.

And so our CalAIs, so calorie estimations based on images are just significantly better than MyFitnessPal. We have a pretty robust system built out at this point. In addition, we're pioneering new ways of marketing on social media. I would wager that the same pretty much applies to Duolingo. Now, I wouldn't be surprised if their engineering team was a lot better. significantly higher valuation.

Now that said, Duolingo is the go-to application for language learning right now. But if you can figure out just like a few percent changes for people to learn languages in different ways, and then some novel distribution strategies for that, Duolingo is worth like, what, $10 billion?
