Pingo AI
AI companion that helps you learn languages
Hey everyone! We’re Michael and Morrie, the founders of Pingo AI 👋.
TL;DR:
Pingo AI is an AI-powered language learning app that helps you build fluency by talking with an AI tutor in real-life conversations. As of July, we’ve grown to 300K+ users and $200K MRR since launching in January.

❌ The Problem
Most language apps focus on memorizing phrases or completing gamified lessons. Speaking is the most challenging part — and the one most apps overlook.
When most people finally get the chance to speak, they freeze. Fear of judgment, embarrassment over mistakes, and lack of confidence leave learners unprepared for the goal they've spent years working towards: having a real conversation.
🗣️ The Solution
Pingo helps you build fluency through immersive, AI-powered conversation practice. You speak with an AI that guides you through realistic, everyday scenarios — like ordering food, booking a hotel, or making small talk.
Pingo adapts to your level, gives real-time corrections, and encourages natural language use. It’s designed to mimic the experience of practicing with a fluent speaker. You get comfortable speaking out loud, not just recognizing words on a screen, and improve through consistent, low-pressure practice. You’re using the language as you would in the real world.
Our goal: Make language learning as simple as daily conversations with Pingo — a companion who understands your goals, remembers your progress, and keeps you motivated.

Our Story
Pingo started when we (Michael and Morrie), freshman year roommates, practiced Chinese together each week. Michael’s fluent, and Morrie has been learning for 8 years. We saw how powerful immersion is, but not everyone has a practice partner—so we built one.
