Intelligent agents and memory algorithms address the pain points of boring and monotonous learning. Ciyouji is seeking seed-round financing.
Recently, a mini-program platform called "Word Odyssey" for AI-powered multi-language entertainment learning was officially launched. It is the painstaking work of an independent developer, Wang Bohan. The project aims to provide users with a personalized, immersive, and entertaining foreign language learning experience through efficient deep learning memory algorithms and intelligent Agent technology. Currently, it is seeking a seed round of financing of 800,000 RMB for product promotion, personnel expenses, and technological innovation.
The Lack of Efficient Learning Applications for Minor Languages and the Difficulty in Balancing Entertainment and Learning Depth
According to industry data, the scale of the English learning market in China reached 53.84 billion RMB in 2023, with over 200 million users. In addition, Japanese and Korean learners are the second and third-largest groups, accounting for 20% and 10% of the English learner group respectively, and the numbers are increasing year by year. However, the existing applications that help users learn words efficiently still only focus on English, ignoring the needs of minor language learners for efficient word learning.
On the other hand, in the mainstream AI-powered multi-language learning platforms, users generally feedback that the learning depth is not good, and they are only suitable for beginners. Moreover, they cannot meet the needs of individualized learning, that is, they cannot meet the needs of individual differences. Therefore, an AI-powered efficient multi-language foreign language learning platform that supports customization has gradually become a new trend.
Driven by Dual Engines of Self-developed Algorithms and Intelligent Agents
The core competitiveness of "Word Odyssey" lies in two major technological aspects.
Firstly, it is the self-developed spaced repetition memory algorithm. This algorithm simulates more than a hundred learning scenarios and shows better memory efficiency than similar products in the market in comparative tests. It also supports multi-language generalization applications. Secondly, the project innovatively introduces the AI Agent ecosystem, including the AI wordbook generation Agent and the oral scenario practice Agent. The former can intelligently generate customized wordbooks according to the scenarios input by users, avoiding the instability of direct generation by traditional large language models (LLMs). The latter can improve oral combat ability through scenario simulation. In addition, the project also incorporates a map lighting mechanism. Users can collect scenic postcards from different places by punching in their daily learning, which enhances the fun of learning and user retention.
With its technological differentiation, "Word Odyssey" precisely targets the AI education market. Its efficient algorithms and entertaining design are mainly aimed at users aged 18 - 35, including college students preparing for exams who value learning effects, international students, professionals in the workplace, and learners with interests, forming a unique user stickiness. With the in-depth application of AI technology in the education field, this project has strong expansion potential in the personalized learning track and is expected to expand its business overseas in the future.
Business Model: Dual-wheel Drive of Value-added Services and Subscription System
Currently, "Word Odyssey" adopts value-added services and a subscription membership system as its core profit models.
Users can obtain or directly recharge virtual currency "leaves" through learning and exchange them for services such as AI wordbook customization and oral scenario production. Subscribing members enjoy privileges such as free quotas and unlimited access to courses. In the future, it may expand diversified revenue sources such as advertising and online teaching to form a sustainable business closed-loop.
Independent Struggle to Achieve Product Launch from Scratch
The project was officially launched at the beginning of 2024. With his technical background in artificial intelligence from the Tokyo Institute of Technology, Wang Bohan independently completed the entire process from market research, competitor analysis, product architecture design to business model construction. In the technology implementation stage, he spent three months on full-stack development, including LOGO and interface design, front-end and back-end development, and core algorithm development, until the final testing and launch. As an independent developer, he overcame the challenges of limited resources and efficiently promoted product iteration. Currently, "Word Odyssey" has been successfully launched and entered the initial operation stage.
Seed Round Financing Target of 800,000 RMB Aims to Improve the Product Ecosystem and Explore UGC and Community Building
Next, "Word Odyssey" plans to raise 800,000 RMB in a seed round of financing for product promotion and market verification, and to form a professional team. Based on user feedback, it will further enrich product functions, focusing on and developing an immersive virtual human oral practice module to enhance the user experience through scenario-based interaction. In the long term, the strategy will revolve around user-generated content. It plans to build a UGC community, allowing users to create their own wordbooks and oral scenarios, and optimize the memory algorithm model and agent capabilities through a data flywheel. At the same time, it will explore AI companionship and gamified cultivation elements, such as virtual item exchange for furniture to decorate personal cabins and pet interaction mechanisms, to continuously improve user stickiness.
The launch of "Word Odyssey" has injected new innovative vitality into the AI education track. Its approach based on technology and centered on user experience may bring new changes to the multi-language learning market.
