Duolingo has launched 148 new language courses, doubling its total offerings and expanding access to popular non-English languages.
The new courses are aimed at over a billion potential learners across Latin America, Europe, and Asia, with most supporting beginner levels and advanced content expected in the future.
The company's CEO attributes this expansion to the impact of AI and automation investments, enabling unprecedented speed and quality in scaling up.
Duolingo announced a shift to an 'AI-first' approach, phasing out human contractors in favor of AI for tasks that can be automated, allowing for quicker course development across multiple languages.
