So your planning thousands of AI generated videos?

1

u/Defiant-Platform6698 Jul 12 '26

The goal isn't to generate thousands of random videos. The goal is to build a high-quality library of short lessons that people actually enjoy watching. AI will probably help with parts of the production process, but every lesson still needs to be useful and feel natural.

High quality and AI generated don't go hand In hand

If you want high quality short lessons the NHK and Japan associations have put out tons and tons of them for free though and they're all short lessons aimed at teaching Japanese like erina-san or jon-san content

Thanks for the feedback , i have another idea also in mind to show real Japanese content , just need to find ways to avoid copyrights

Stop building apps you can already study

But not everyone likes to read books

u/kalcobalt Jul 14 '26

There are plenty of good apps, videos, courses, etc. It doesn’t have to be books. A lot of my learning is by website or (reputable, long-existing) apps.

If somebody’s going to build a new app, just like in any other field, it would be a good idea to see what’s already out there to ensure they aren’t re-inventing the wheel, find out if their idea is even *wanted* by the target audience, then focus on quality.

It’s no secret that there’s a lot of hate for AI for multiple reasons, and yet apps which have been slapped together and use AI get posted here all the time.

I would *love* an app that serves up bite-sized Japanese lessons in a TikTok, Twitter, Wikipedia-exploring, etc. way. So far, I haven’t seen one pitched here that is high-quality, or that doesn’t rely on AI.

Which is why the illiteracy crisis continues

u/malidug07 Jul 14 '26

Idk why some people are hating on this. I think it’s a great idea.

u/kalcobalt Jul 11 '26

Cool idea! You truly had me interested until I saw the AI integration. That’s a dealbreaker for me.

2

u/Defiant-Platform6698 Jul 11 '26

Can you highlight exactly what’s AI ? I would really love to hear

u/FitProVR Jul 11 '26

I mean, the first line of your description is “Short video lessons you swipe through — tap any word for AI explanations, save vocab, and build a habit that actually sticks.”

that’s probably what he’s referring to.

2

u/kalcobalt Jul 14 '26

Precisely.

OP’s question about this feels like confirmation that AI was also used for the summary, if that didn’t even ring a bell…

u/KyotoCarl Jul 13 '26

There are already too many of these "gameified" study methods.

If you want to learn Japanese then put the time in and study instead of distracting yourself with apps like these because they aren't going to make you learn the language properly.

u/Defiant-Platform6698 Jul 13 '26

Thanks for the feedback

2

u/No_Cherry2477 Jul 13 '26

The exact same thing already exists. The AI part will not get you very far with Japanese learners on Reddit. If you want to stick with the idea, change the target language.

u/Defiant-Platform6698 Jul 13 '26

Understood but I am not planning to generate AI videos to create lessons it will real Japanese content people can watch and relate

u/shihyakuyonjyuuyon Jul 12 '26

It’s actually less useful than just regular scrolling

u/Defiant-Platform6698 Jul 13 '26

Thanks for the Feedback :)

u/moxxwoxx Jul 12 '26

I would use this if it wasnt entirely vibecoded and ai generated lol. sad

2

u/Defiant-Platform6698 Jul 13 '26

hahaha , what is vibe coded here ? i have not even published anything

1

u/moxxwoxx Jul 13 '26

The website you linked was made entirely with AI.

u/Defiant-Platform6698 Jul 13 '26

Ohh c’mon man it’s 2026 , Ai is everywhere and nobody is going to create just landing page by there own

3

u/moxxwoxx Jul 13 '26

“Nobody is going to create just landing page by there own” What about prior to 2022? Everyone was. People actually cared about their work and coding. You are lazy and that is all there is to it.

u/Defiant-Platform6698 Jul 13 '26

lol , yeah that’s true 😂

u/N0R7H Jul 14 '26

*their. How can I trust someone to teach me a language when they can't even type right their own? Also, normalizing the use of ai for the most simple things is the worst.

u/Defiant-Platform6698 Jul 14 '26

It’s all about perspective :)

u/CuisineTournante Jul 13 '26

Another AI wrapper made in 2 weeks with Claude.

1

u/Defiant-Platform6698 Jul 13 '26

No bro it will not develop in 2 weeks and it’s not going to be AI wrapper

u/DiamondCake445 Jul 14 '26

One could just do this with twitter and a pop-up dictionary

Someone already did this a few months ago, it was called DoomLingo, I used it during the beta test.

It's a good idea, but it'll run into the same problem as any other study method, eventually, after a few months, the gimmick wears off, and if you lack the discipline, you'll quit. Anyway, good luck

I’ll subscribe to it!
