Keli Oral English was established in 2023 and is committed to providing users with an efficient oral English improvement experience through personalized AI learning solutions.

With the advancement of globalization, the demand for adult English learning has increased accordingly, but the existing market has not fully met the users' deep learning needs and fragmented learning habits, especially in different scenarios such as daily life, traveling abroad, and workplace business, where there is a large demand for oral English communication. The "Baidu Adult Training Industry White Paper" shows that the scale of China's adult training and education market reached 1.3 trillion yuan in 2023.

In response to this pain point, Keli Oral English uses AI technology to create a highly customized "AI Situational Course", covering more than 2,000 courses such as workplace communication and traveling abroad, and covering more than 15,000 high-frequency words and 30,000 example sentences. It is reported that users can consolidate the basic knowledge of the target scene through the AI Situational Course and have practical conversations with AI in a virtual situation. Keli Oral English will provide real-time feedback according to the user's performance to help users accurately track their learning progress.

The personalized learning path and data-driven content recommendation mechanism are the core advantages of Keli Oral English. Relying on deep learning and AI large model technology, Keli Oral English can dynamically analyze and model the user's learning situation, provide learning materials that match the user's ability and needs, and achieve a highly personalized learning experience.

Zhou Shufan said that through conversations with AI, users can reduce the psychological burden in the language learning process. At the same time, AI can also provide accurate and personalized feedback based on the user's pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary and expression habits, improving the practicality and efficiency of learning. At the same time, Keli Oral English is actively building a UGC ecosystem to optimize the production and consumption experience of learning materials, accumulate user data, and continuously improve the personalized learning model.
