## Project metadata

- Hackathon: UC Berkeley AI Hackathon 2025
- Tagline: A Vapi-powered goose calls you daily to chat in your target language. Themed convos, gamification, and progress tracking make language learning weirdly fun and effective.

### Overview

TL;DR: Call (509) 620-9019, then visit http://lingoose.lol

### Inspiration

90% of active Duolingo users never become conversationally fluent. We wanted to change that by forcing real-life speaking practice through a daily phone call from an AI goose. Hands-free learning also seemed like a cool idea given the current human attention economy. What It Does Our app uses Vapi to power real-time phone conversations between users and an AI goose that speaks in their target language. Each day has a unique theme, from date nights to political family dinners, to keep conversations fresh. Sessions last ~3 minutes, with gamified feedback and progress tracking in-app. Challenges We Faced Ensuring natural-sounding, low-latency speech Handling multilingual prompts and fallback cases Making the goose funny and pedagogically effective What We Learned How to design engaging, voice-first AI agents Why conversational fluency requires active recall, not just passive apps People love being yelled at in French by a goose
