Well, first of all, thank you for having me.

I think that we're in a unique point in time where because of AI, we're going to be able to teach significantly better.

And Duolingo is by a wide margin the largest app in education in the world.

And I think because of that, we're going to be able to really take advantage of this

of AI boom to be able to teach significantly better.

And our sense is that within the next few years, we're going to have an app that teaches as well as a one-on-one tutor, but also is as fun as a mobile game.

And if we're really able to do that, I think there's just so much more that we can capture.

So that's what we're doing.

We're really shooting for that.

Well, at the moment, we're not particularly concerned with competition in terms of other education apps.

For example, for language learning, we have about 85 percent of the market share of all daily active users of people who are learning a language.

So we have huge scale.

What differentiates us is that because of that scale,

We just have more data into how people learn than anybody else, and we can use that to train our own specific models.

So we just have the advantage of scale of being able to watch literally billions of exercises every day by people who are learning different things.

There's a number of things.

For one, with Duolingo, what we do is we try to build a habit of learning.

For example, 15 million of our daily active users have a streak of longer than 365 days, meaning they have been using Duolingo for a year or longer and haven't missed a day.

We're really trying to build a habit for that.

This is why Duolingo is part game, part education.
