New Feature on Sapere.ai: Intelligent Conversational Agents

The Sapere.ai team is proud to announce the arrival of a new feature that further enriches the learning experience on the platform: intelligent conversational agents, or chatbots. Designed to help learners practice in a more natural, spontaneous, and personalized way, these chatbots mark a new step forward in our vision of language learning supported by artificial intelligence.

With this new feature, Sapere.ai goes beyond offering personalized content and tailored exercises: the platform now provides a dynamic space for interaction where learners can discuss, write, speak, experiment, and generate new exercises directly from their interactions.

Sapere.ai: Tailored Language Learning

Sapere.ai is a Quebec-based language learning platform developed to offer customized content based on each learner’s profile, level, professional field, goals, and pace. The platform already makes it possible to personalize learning through custom exercises, activities, and assessments created according to academic, professional, or personal contexts.

Sapere places AI at the service of people, in a way that complements the pedagogical role of the teacher. Artificial intelligence does not replace human guidance: it acts as a powerful lever for creating learning paths that are more engaging, more targeted, and more effective. Every new feature is developed within this philosophy. It is precisely in this spirit that the conversational agents were created.

Our New Feature: Conversational Agents to Practice Language in a Different Way

Sapere’s chatbots were designed to help learners practice conversation in an active and personalized way. They make it possible to move beyond passive learning and into a model based on interaction.

With them, learners can:

• write in the target language as they would in a messaging app;

• speak directly to the agent to work on oral expression;

• receive responses adapted to their level and context;

• extend the conversation around topics that are useful in their daily life, work, or personal goals;

• generate new exercises based on the exchanges they have completed.

In other words, the conversational agent is not only there to chat: it also becomes a tool for practice, review, consolidation, and pedagogical content creation.

Written or Spoken Interaction

One of the major advantages of this new feature is its flexibility. Some learners prefer to take the time to write in order to work on written expression. Others mainly want to strengthen their speaking skills, gain spontaneity, and develop automatic responses.

Sapere’s conversational agents support both approaches.

You can therefore:

• write to the agent to work on phrasing, vocabulary, and structure;

• speak to the agent to practice pronunciation, fluency, and comprehension in real interaction.

This dual option makes the experience much more natural. It also makes it possible to adapt learning sessions to the learner’s confidence level: they can begin in writing, then gradually move into speaking.

Multiple Accents Depending on the Language

Learning a language is not only about memorizing words or rules. It is also about learning to recognize sounds, rhythms, intonations, and accents.

That is why Sapere’s conversational agents integrate multiple accents depending on the language. This diversity allows learners to be exposed to different linguistic realities and to develop a more authentic understanding of the target language.

For example, Sapere offers:

• American, Canadian, or British English

• Quebec French, European French, or Belgian French

• Spanish from Spain or Latin America

• And several other language variants

Depending on the language being studied, learners can therefore practice with a variety of voices and accents, which considerably enriches the experience. This is particularly useful for people who use the language in an international, professional, or multicultural context.

Conversations That Adapt to the Learner’s Profile

Like the platform’s other tools, Sapere’s chatbots are part of a personalization-driven approach. Interactions can take into account the learner’s level, goals, field of activity, and concrete needs.

A business English learner will not experience the same type of conversation as a medical French learner or a student who wants to feel more comfortable in everyday situations. This adaptability makes interactions more relevant, more motivating, and more useful.

The goal is not simply to “talk with an AI,” but to speak within a framework that actively supports progress.

Generate Exercises from Conversations

One of the most innovative aspects of this feature is the ability to generate exercises directly from conversations with the chatbots.

After an exchange, the platform can create activities connected to the topics discussed, the vocabulary used, the grammatical structures practiced, or the difficulties observed. The conversation then becomes a living source of material that feeds the next steps of the learning journey.

This makes it possible, among other things, to:

• turn an exchange into a review exercise;

• explore a grammar or vocabulary point that came up during the conversation in greater depth;

• create more relevant activities, since they are based on a real need;

• strengthen memorization by immediately reusing what has just been practiced.

This feature is especially interesting because it directly connects communication, feedback, and practice within a single environment.

More Engaging and More Practical Learning

For many learners, the hardest part of learning a language is not understanding a rule, but daring to use it. Conversational agents address this challenge by providing a space for experimentation that is accessible, flexible, and pressure-free.

Learners can test formulations, ask questions, rephrase, start over, explore different language registers, and practice as often as they want. It is no longer only about learning about the language, but about acting in the language.

It is this practical dimension that makes the experience more engaging. Conversation becomes a driver of learning, rather than simply a final-stage exercise.

A New Tool at the Heart of the Sapere Ecosystem

With conversational agents, Sapere continues to build a complete pedagogical ecosystem in which each feature strengthens the others. Conversations feed exercises. Exercises extend learning. Written and spoken interactions help build progress that is more coherent, more personalized, and more motivating.

With this new feature, Sapere takes another step forward: making conversation the starting point for learning that is more dynamic, more intelligent, and more useful.
