Dolingo is adopting a “AI First” approach to its business, and the language learning platform will reduce its dependence on humanitarian contract workers as it assigns their responsibilities to the AI.
In a memo on Monday, Louis Wan Ahn, CEO of Dollingo, told the company’s “AI First” stand in detail.
“The AI is already changing how the work works,” Ahn wrote in an email shared publicly through Dollingo’s LinkedIn account. “When it comes to a major change, the worst thing you can do is wait.”
According to the email, as part of its first strategy, the doolingo will move the workload from the contractors to the AI and “will stop working slowly to work with the contractors that can handle the AI,” according to the email. The company will also avenge the use of AI in the hiring of new employees and the performance of existing employees. Teams will be allowed to hurry only new members if the group cannot do work automatically.

Dollingo has previously terminated the contract workers in favor of the AI. Last year, the company cut off 10 % of its contractors after deciding to use AI for alleged translation.
However, Ahn assured the staff at this email that “Doolingo would be a company that cares deeply of its employees,” and that as AI First, workers were not about “changing” the AI with AI, but was to focus on creative tasks and focus on creative tasks. The company said it would help staff’s full -time staff, teachers and AI tools.

Ahn also explained why Dollingo was now choosing to go to AI. He said in the email that Dollingo made a big bet on mobile in 2012, focusing on creating a mobile first app at a time when mobile apps were primarily a part of the full websites. The move worked well: Dollingo’s app won the 2013 iPhone app with 10 million downloads and then increased physically. Now, Dollingo has more than 500 million registered users.
He wrote in an email, “This time the platform is a shift AI.”

Davolongo is focusing on video calls such as materials and electricity features, which was introduced by Dollingo in September. Allows video call learners to practice speaking in their target language through video chat with the role of AI named Lily.
Dollingo is not the first company that has recently announced the first AI strategy. Earlier this month, Shapif’s CEO Tobia Lutke told all employees in a memo that “using AI effectively is now the basic expectation of everyone in the shop.” Lotak told the shop staff that what they can do with the AI before asking for more resources or extra human employees should be done as much as they can.
He also said that the shopkeeper would include questions about his performance and collection of AI use.
At the time of writing, Dollingo’s market capitalization was more than $ 17 billion.
