Coucou
An AI French tutor that teaches you, remembers you, and texts you first.
My wife is French. Her whole family is French. And I was the guy at the dinner table smiling and nodding, catching one word in ten.
Every app I tried waited for me to show up, then made me tap pictures. So I built the opposite: a tutor that owns the plan, comes to me every day, makes me actually speak, and remembers exactly what I keep getting wrong.

It's not an app you open.
It's a tutor that runs your French for you.
You tell it your goal — a trip, a deadline, a French family to talk to. It builds the plan, shows up daily, teaches, tracks, and adapts. You just reply.
-
1
It owns the curriculum.
You never pick a lesson or wonder what to study. It sequences everything from your first bonjour to holding a real conversation — and moves at the speed you actually master things, not a calendar and not a streak.
-
2
It texts you first — every day.
A drill lands in the morning. A quick vocab nudge at midday. A consolidation round in the evening, tailored to the gaps you showed that day. You never have to remember to practice. It shows up, even when you don't.

It teaches you to speak — and to pronounce.
Send a voice note. It scores your pronunciation, tells you which exact sound is off and how to fix it ("your r is back-of-throat, not rolled"), and sends back native audio to copy. New words come with a respelling you can sound out — bonjour → bohn-ZHOOR.
-
4
It learns how you learn.
Every night it writes down what you nailed and what's still shaky — the mistakes you keep making, the words that won't stick — and quietly brings the weak spots back until they're locked. It's spaced repetition, but a teacher's version: it knows your specific holes.
-
5
It builds you a live dashboard.
A page of everything you've learned — vocab with pronunciations, grammar tables, your weak spots, milestones, and a daily journal of what you covered. Auto-updated every night. Open it on your phone any time to see exactly where you stand.

It listens to you and changes.
Tell it "slow down," or "you're drilling the wrong thing," or "I want more conversation" — and it actually changes how it teaches you, for good. The tutor adapts to you. Not the other way around.
What a single turn looks like
You speak. It scores. It corrects the specific sound you got wrong and shows you how. This is one of dozens of exchanges a day — not a test you sit.

The honest version
- This is early. I run it myself, and I add every user by hand — so when you hit the Telegram link, you'll wait a bit before I greet you.
- Voice scoring works most of the time. Sometimes it doesn't, and when it doesn't, I'll tell you.
- It's deeply personal over weeks, not minutes — the more you talk to it, the more it knows your holes. Day one is good; day thirty is the point.
- It's free during early access. No card.
