The company is known for its innovative approach in developing the world's first “AI English Teacher” based on deep learning. This technology provides personalized and adaptive learning paths, proven to triple the learning efficiency compared to human teachers by CEFR standards. With a focus on Chinese speaking English, the company has accumulated the world’s largest database in this area and independently developed a multi-dimensional, multi-granularity auto scoring engine and adaptive learning system. The flagship mobile app product, "英语流利说," has gained significant traction with more than 60 million registered users and over 600K paid users from 379 cities in China and over 175 countries globally. Being recognized by Apple as “App Store Essentials” and “Best Apps of the Year” solidifies its position in the online language learning community in China.
