Hi there! I'm an AI avatar created using Synthesia technology, but you can call me Ishmael.
Learning doesn't have to be a solitary journey anymore. Imagine having a personalized tutor available 24/7, ready to answer your questions and tailor the pace to your needs.
We can be your practice partner, simulating real-world scenarios for languages, soft skills, or even technical procedures. We can provide instant feedback, analyze your progress, and suggest resources to fill any gaps.
The future of learning is personalized, engaging, and accessible – and AI is here to make it happen!
And sorry about these ID Lance characters. They're a bit infantile, don't you think?
