There was one hire that we were going to make. We had been looking for a chief financial officer for like a year. And there was this one person that we all really liked, had a really strong resume. And then it turned out that they were pretty mean to their driver from the airport to the office. And that made us not hire them. The BBC asked taxi drivers in London what they thought of the idea. You get chatting with them. It's quite a long journey. People open up to you because they're not likely to ever see you again.
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.
