🦉 Duolingo: The AI Language Coach
Have you tried Duolingo? It seems simple — but there's a super-smart AI running behind the scenes!
What Duolingo's AI does:
- Tracks which words YOU get wrong most often
- Shows those words again more frequently
- Makes lessons harder when you're doing well
- Makes them easier when you're struggling
- Predicts the BEST time to review something before you forget it
This is called adaptive learning — every student gets a personalised lesson. No two Duolingo experiences are the same! 🌍
📦 Amazon: "Customers Also Bought..."
Ever notice how Amazon shows you exactly the things you were kind of thinking about? Spooky? Nope — it's AI!
You search: "Minecraft merchandise"
↓
AI checks: What did 50,000 people buy
AFTER searching for that?
↓
Shows you: Minecraft sword, creeper plush, etc.
(Things YOU probably want but hadn't thought of yet!)
Amazon's recommendation AI is responsible for 35% of all their sales! 💰
