The challenge
Creating a personalised and engaging language learning experience posed a significant challenge due to the diverse needs of WordUp's users, ranging from beginner learners to advanced English speakers. The key obstacle was finding a scalable, cost-effective method to provide real-time, dynamic interactions that would simulate the experience of learning from a native speaker.
With a growing user base, traditional methods of personalisation, such as human tutors, were neither feasible nor sustainable at scale. WordUp needed a solution that could cater to the individual learning goals, vocabulary levels, and contexts of each user without compromising the quality of the experience or inflating costs. The challenge lay in designing an intelligent, scalable system capable of adapting to the specific needs of each user while delivering high engagement and maintaining the relevance and practicality of vocabulary learning.
The solution
In response to this challenge, WordUp leveraged advancements in Large Language Models (LLMs) to create online tutors that offer a significantly more engaging, safeguarded, and dynamic learning experience. These AI-powered tutors are designed to simulate the experience of interacting with a native English speaker, providing real-time feedback, encouragement, and explanations that enhance the learning process.
By integrating WordUp’s proprietary technology, the app can hyper-personalise the experience according to each user’s needs, making the learning journey more effective and enjoyable.
Moreover, the AI tutors are not only cost-effective but also scalable, allowing WordUp to accommodate a growing user base without the limitations typically associated with human resources. This scalability ensures that every user, regardless of when they join or how many others are using the app, receives a consistently high-quality, personalised learning experience.
The integration of LLMs and AI has transformed WordUp from a simple vocabulary app into a sophisticated language-learning platform that can adapt to the evolving needs of its users, setting a new standard in the field of digital language education.

The impact
The introduction of AI tutors has had a profound impact on the app’s effectiveness and commercial success. Within just a few weeks of implementing these improvements, WordUp saw a 38% increase in revenue from both new and retained customers. This growth is attributed to the enhanced user experience, which has led to higher satisfaction, increased retention rates, and a greater willingness among users to invest in premium features.
Additionally, the use of AI tutors has resulted in massive cost savings for the company. By replacing the need for native English speakers with AI-driven interactions, WordUp has significantly reduced operational costs while maintaining, or even improving, the quality of the learning experience offered to users.
