Kakao Brain Unveils AI English Learning App 'Remi'

[Asia Economy Reporter Seungjin Lee] Kakao Brain announced on the 18th that it has launched an artificial intelligence (AI) English learning application (app) called 'REMY' that allows users to easily read English and naturally acquire the language. REMY is the first app officially released equipped with Kakao Brain's self-developed AI language analysis technology.

REMY was developed in collaboration with the English original book education brand ‘Yeongseodang (Confidently Reading English Originals)’, incorporating Kakao Brain’s ‘AI Chunking’ technology along with Yeongseodang’s English learning content and reading learning expertise.

‘AI Chunking’ is a technology based on AI language analysis that deeply analyzes the components of English sentences and breaks them down into meaningful units or breathing units to help users read English more easily. The company expects that through REMY, which applies AI Chunking technology, users will not only learn accurate pronunciation and intonation but also naturally acquire English as learning by meaningful units becomes habitual.

Key features of REMY include ‘Reading Mode’, where users read English while listening to an audiobook following AI Chunking; ‘Video Mode’, where users watch videos while reading English; and ‘Vocabulary Learning’, which allows users to collect unknown English words into their own vocabulary list for study. These features enable users to enjoy a variety of content such as English original books, speeches, news, and columns.

Kim Ildu, CEO of Kakao Brain, said, “We are pleased to unveil an English learning app equipped with AI language analysis technology developed independently by Kakao Brain,” adding, “We will continue to apply Kakao Brain’s unique AI capabilities across various fields to develop technologies and services that provide practical help in people’s daily lives.”
