For schools & institutions

Built for the classroom, not just the individual

Language teachers and school administrators get their own workspace to create courses, manage students, and measure speaking progress — all backed by the same AI that powers individual sessions.

🎯
Custom conversation scenarios
Design activities tailored to your syllabus — hotel check-in, job interview, medical appointment. Each scenario has clear, measurable goals your students see in real time.
📊
Learning analytics & insights
Track student engagement with DAU/WAU/MAU metrics, session completions, CEFR-aligned proficiency trends, and goal achievement. Identify struggling learners instantly.
🌍
Native-language hints (L1 support)
Students can request a hint in their own language when stuck. No English prerequisite required — works across 20+ languages.
🎓
Coach mode & partner mode
Teachers choose: corrective coach mode for accuracy-focused classes, or supportive partner mode to build speaking confidence without fear of mistakes.
📚
Multi-language course library
Teach any target language (Japanese, Spanish, German, etc.) with CEFR-aligned courses. Students can enroll, track progress, and complete contextual activities.
🏆
Streaks, badges & XP
Built-in gamification keeps students motivated — daily streaks, automatic badge awards, and an XP level system. Inactivity nudges re-engage learners who go quiet.
🔬
Academic research platform
Support ongoing language-learning research via built-in questionnaires & study mode. Track participants, export proficiency data, analyze learner behavior — early access for pilot schools.
Free pilot — no billing, no contracts

We co-design your first conversation activities and onboard your students. You track the results.

For PhD researchers & educators

A research-grade platform built for language acquisition studies

Inqui is being developed alongside ongoing doctoral research in language learning. Every feature produces structured, exportable data so your study can move from hypothesis to results without wrestling with data pipelines.

👥
Study cohorts & ethics-supportive exports
Create named study cohorts, assign participants, and export structured session data (CSV/JSON) with anonymization and pseudonymization support — designed to help you prepare documentation for ethics review.
📋
Configurable questionnaires (5 types)
Design pre/post assessments with Likert scales, single/multiple choice, open text, and numeric inputs. Automatic 0–100 normalization and subscale scoring included.
📈
Behavioural analytics
Track DAU/WAU/MAU engagement, session completion rates, goal achievement, and retention funnels per cohort. Identify patterns across your study timeline.
🎓
CEFR proficiency tracking
Each session generates automated, CEFR-aligned proficiency estimates (A1–C2). Track proficiency trends over time with per-session granularity. (Model-based scoring; not a substitute for human assessment.)
🤖
AI-assisted research queries
Ask research questions right from the dashboard. Choose Perplexity Sonar for live web search with citations, or an OpenAI model for deep-research style synthesis — configurable per organisation.

Everything you need — nothing you don't

Built for SLA researchers and language schools who want a platform that produces real data, not just engagement metrics.

AI Conversation Engine

Coach & Partner AI Modes

✓ Live

Two distinct AI personalities in one platform. Coach mode corrects mistakes in real time and explains the rule. Partner mode practices naturally as a peer — no interruptions, just conversation.

  • Coach: real-time error correction with explanations (grammar, vocabulary, register, pragmatics)
  • Partner: immersive peer practice — the AI stays in character throughout
  • Mode assignable per study cohort for controlled research designs
  • Fluency score computed from speech recognition across sessions

Scenario-Based Activities & Goal Tracking

✓ Live

Every activity has a real-world context — job interview, doctor's visit, market shopping — with custom roles for both the learner and the AI. Instructors define goals; the AI evaluates them after every session.

  • Custom scenario context, AI role, and learner role per activity
  • Instructor-defined session goals evaluated automatically by the AI
  • CEFR-aligned proficiency estimate produced at every session end
  • Score delta, goal completion rate, and error rates stored to the learner record
For Language Schools

Course & Student Management

✓ Live

Build a full curriculum, invite students, and watch their CEFR progress in one place. No spreadsheets. No manual tracking.

  • Courses organised by target language and CEFR level (A1–C2)
  • Invite students by email — accounts provisioned automatically
  • Per-student view: session history, score trends, goal achievement
  • Enable or disable Vocabulary, Gamification, and Research modules per organisation

Vocabulary & Learner Motivation

✓ Live

The AI extracts vocabulary automatically from every session and saves it to the learner's personal word list. A built-in gamification layer — streaks, XP, and badges — keeps learners coming back.

  • Automatic vocabulary extraction: terms saved with definition and source session
  • Learners organise words into custom lists and mark favourites
  • Daily streaks, XP per session, level-up system, and milestone badges
  • Smart push notifications nudge inactive learners automatically
For Researchers

Controlled Studies & Cohort Analytics

✓ Live

Run language acquisition studies with the rigour your ethics committee expects — from enrollment to structured export, the platform tracks everything.

  • Cohort assignment: Coach-only, Partner-only, or randomised
  • Dose tracking: valid session count against a configurable target
  • Cohort comparison: score delta, fluency, goal completion, error rates
  • Week-by-week timeline chart of session volume and cumulative enrollment

Questionnaires, Exports & AI Research Assistant

✓ Live

Design pre/post assessments with 5 question types and automatic scoring. Export everything as CSV or JSON. Ask your data questions in plain language using Perplexity or GPT.

  • 5 question types: Likert, Single/Multiple Choice, Open Text, Numeric
  • Automatic 0–100 normalization, reverse scoring, and multi-subscale support
  • CSV/JSON export: participant summary, session detail, questionnaire responses — with anonymization
  • AI research queries powered by Perplexity Sonar (live web search + citations) or OpenAI
Platform & Integrations

Multi-Tenant Organisations

✓ Live

Run as many isolated organisations as you need — each with its own users, courses, settings, and data. Role hierarchy keeps the right people in the right seats.

  • Four roles: System Admin, Institution Admin, Instructor, Student
  • Per-org feature flags, student caps, and access validity windows
  • Org-level behavioural analytics: DAU/WAU/MAU, completion rates, dropout signals
  • Org switcher so system admins can manage any tenant without re-logging in

Bring Your Own AI Model

✓ Live

You choose which AI powers each part of the platform. Route conversations to GPT-4, research queries to Perplexity Sonar, and translation to a cost-efficient model — all configurable per organisation.

  • Supports OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenRouter, Perplexity, and any OpenAI-compatible endpoint
  • Assign models by platform area: conversations, research queries, translation
  • Per-org override — your research institution can use a different model than your schools
  • Self-hostable: full stack on Docker Compose, no mandatory cloud dependency
