Buddy.ai uses an animated, AI-driven, conversational character to help children learn English as a second language through a subscription app. The company, which grew out of Ivan Crewkov's experience with his children's language struggles, has faced challenges including navigating child privacy laws and training AI to understand children's voices. Despite tough early years, Buddy.ai now has 55 million downloads, works with over 22 million students annually, and recently raised $11 million to invest in product development and expanding to more languages.
