Praktika

Praktika.ai is an innovative language-learning platform transforming traditional lessons through ultra-realistic AI avatars to deliver personalised and fun educational experiences.

Dedicated to making language acquisition more accessible, engaging, and efficient, Praktika empowers learners to jumpstart their route to fluency with AI companions. At the heart of Praktika lies a sophisticated system that dynamically generates educational content into immersive, hyper-customised tutors. A broad range of virtual personalities–each with unique backgrounds, stories and accents–provide instant role-play feedback and tailored guidance to leverage the adaptive, responsive qualities of human tutors and maintain engagement.

Praktika leverages a complex blend of conversational AI technologies through an app designed to accelerate a learner’s journey with specific grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation support covering a suite of topics. Based on 1,000 lessons and 150 real-world topics, Praktika confidently aspires to empower the next billion learners with friendly tools that help overcome language barriers.

Founders Adam Turaev, Ilya Chemyakov and Anton Marin previously achieved several entrepreneurial milestones since founding next-gen AI startup Cleverbots. Praktika is their exciting new pursuit, born from the overlap of their complementary vision to open the doors of language acquisition with a groundbreaking avatar-based methodology.
