As you can see, BridgeIt is multilingual. Our goal is that you can practice the language you’re learning with BridgeIt. Learning Spanish? Try to have a conversation. You can get help if you need to, but our goal is to provide immersion in the language you’re learning in a safe space. You can make mistakes with the AI. It’s okay. Beyond that, we’re working on allowing you to practice with fluent speakers of the language you’re learning, once you feel comfortable.

What’s new in BridgeIt’s world?

We just wrapped up our first sprint, and we’re excited to share this soft launch. Here are some of the features we’ve added this sprint:

  • We added a lot of basic, foundational infrastructure to be able to host an application
  • We added a basic product page
  • We added a Privacy Policy and Terms of Service
  • We added a sign up flow
  • We added an edit profile flow
  • We added basic text messaging from an initial phone number
    • Soon, we’ll be adding support for our vanity number (upside down: “HELLO BB GSB”, Hello BB, Go Speak Better)
  • We added a basic chatbot that can respond to a few hardcoded messages, like “SUPPORT”
  • We added basic AI (LLM) functionality to be able to practice a language. Currently, its memory is very short, which we plan to iterate on.
