Duolingo has fundamentally changed the landscape of self-guided education, starting with language learning. It is now a $9B publicly traded company in a space where everyone thought you could never build a large and exciting company. We're joined by Duolingo founder and CEO, Luis von Ahn. Luis dives into how learning English was transformative in his personal trajectory and opportunities in his life, inspiring him to create the most successful EdTech product of all time. A few topics in this episode:How Duolingo became a leader in the gamification and mobile-first movements in the early 2010sHow the company balances rigorous experimentation with gut instinct to build an app with customer experience at its coreThe backstory of Duolingo's “unhinged, yet wholesome” green owl mascot trending on your TikTok feedSponsors:Vanta
Luis von Ahn is the co-founder and CEO of Duolingo. There are lots of opportunities to enhance a product like Duolingo with AI, and we talk about all that — but I also wanted to talk to Luis about learning, generally. Duolingo is a global product, and there are a lot of tech tensions there, dealing with different user needs worldwide. We talk about it all in a pretty direct way... including all those unhinged things the owl does on social media.

Duolingo Co-founder and CEO Luis von Ahn shares his journey from creating CAPTCHA, founding a multi-billion dollar language learning app, and how his company produced their delightfully unhinged mascot.
Breakthroughs in generative AI have created enormous opportunities for humans to learn from computers. We can use them to explain the news, understand historical concepts, fix our coding errors, and so forth. But of course, AI also has to learn from human. The technology digests enormous amounts of written text, and often relies on human feedback to calibrate its models. Luis von Ahn has been at the forefront of these back and forth interactions for years. He is currently the CEO and co-founder of Duolingo, the language learning app, but prior to that, he was one of the original developers of CAPTCHAs, the little puzzles you solve to log into websites and prove that you're a human. And of course, in the process of proving your humanity, you're also training computers to get better at identifying red lights, cross walks, bicycles and wavy letters. On this episode, we discuss the history of his work, the future of CAPTCHAs, the success of Duolingo and how he is using today's advanced AI models in aid of language learnings.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In 2000, Luis von Ahn was starting his PhD in computer science when he attended a talk and happened to learn about one of Yahoo's biggest problems: automated bots were signing up for millions of free Yahoo email accounts, and generating tons of spam. Luis' idea to solve this problem became CAPTCHA, the squiggly letters we type into a website to prove we're human. He gave away that idea for free, but years later, that same idea had evolved into a new way to monetize language learning on the web, and became Duolingo. Today, Duolingo is a publicly-traded company with a market cap of $9 billion.This episode was produced by Casey Herman, with music composed by Ramtin Arablouei.

Guest: Luis von Ahn, CEO and co-founder of DuolingoWhen Luis von Ahn wanted to go to college in the United States, he had to take a standardized test called the TOEFL, or Test of English as a Foreign Language. But there was nowhere in his home country of Guatemala that could accommodate another test-taker, so he flew to war-torn El Salvador, just to take the TOEFL. Many years later, as the co-founder and CEO of Duolingo, Luis and his team “decided this type of thing, we could do a lot better.” Today, more than 4,500 universities accept the results of the online Duolingo English Test — a boon for the estimated 2 billion people currently learning English around the world.In this episode, Luis and Joubin discuss returning to the office, Carnegie Mellon, identifying strivers, the “Luis dashboard,” ignoring Reddit, pre-meetings, the hardest part of learning, sounding dumb, private security, the job of a professor, digitizing books, working out every day, April Fools' campaigns, Duo the owl, and hiring nice people.In this episode, we cover: Working in Pittsburgh, in-person (00:57) How Duolingo hires (06:48) Growing up in Guatemala (10:29) Luis' parents, intelligence, and drive (12:09) His morning routine (16:56) Ground truth (19:39) “The smaller the team, the better” (22:29) Language education and human behavior (24:32) Learning English (28:53) Back to Guatemala (32:03) CAPTCHA and reCAPTCHA (36:10) Money vs. impact (41:26) Luis' TEDx Talk and public speaking tips (44:46) Love Language and nontraditional marketing (48:46) Doubling down on what works (53:27) Slow hiring (56:44) Would Luis ever start something new?

Ian King reflects on yesterday's decision from the Bank of England to raise interest rates with Wei Li, the Global Chief Investment Strategist at BlackRock.Erik Fairbairn, founder and CEO of Pod Point, speaks about charging points for electric vehicles.Chief Executive of the global language-learning app, Duolingo, Luis Von Ahn talks to Ian King on the digital skills gap.
If you're not one of their 500 million users, Duolingo is a phenomenally successful app where you practise a language in small chunks every day. Launched in 2012, it has become the number one language learning app and the most downloaded education app in the world. The company floated in 2021 and currently has a market cap of just under 4 billion dollars. It's rare for a founder to be brilliant at both invention and business but Luis Von Ahn, the Co-Founder and CEO of Duolingo, is one of them. Before Duolingo, he invented Captcha - those squiggly letters you have to write out to prove you're not a computer. The guy's a genius, and that's a fact. He actually won an award for being one in 2006, the prestigious Macarthur Fellows Program award. It's colloquially known as the genius grant, because it's said you have to be one to get it. Luis grew up in a single parent household in Guatemala. His mother spent all the money she could sending him to the best school she could afford. This experience, of seeing the difference between those who receive a good education and those who don't, would later form the basis of Duolingo. But when Luis and his Co-Founder Severin started Duolingo in 2012 they had a big problem - how could they keep their users coming back? Listen to find out.

A special preview of the podcast, Unsung Science with David Pogue from CBS News. Journalist and author David Pogue finds the untold creation stories behind the most mind-blowing advances in science and tech—and hears from the characters involved—from their first inspiration to the times they almost gave up. This episode looks at the bad guys who used software bots to sign up for millions of fake email accounts—for sending out spam. Then, PhD student Luis Von Ahn stopped them. He invented the CAPTCHA, that website login test where you have to decipher the distorted image of a word. Or you have to find the traffic lights or fire hydrants in a grid of nine blurry photos. Those tests help to keep down the volume of spam, spyware, and misinformation; they advance the clarity of digitized books and the intelligence of self-driving cars; and, by the way, they made a handsome profit. The only problem: We HATE those tests! Guest: Luis Von Ahn, co-inventor of CAPTCHA, co-inventor and CEO of Duolingo. Hear more episodes of Unsung Science at https://unsungscience.com/.

Crowdsourcing is more than a group of people interested in the same cause, it's a way to tap skills – and scale – that you don't have. And when it works, it can be the rocket fuel that launches you to scale further than you could have ever imagined. No one knows this better than Luis von Ahn, founder and CEO of Duolingo. Duolingo is a language app with over 300 million users worldwide, who complete over 7 billion exercises a month. It's their passion for learning that drives them to create even more content for the app – igniting the rocket fuel that Duolingo needs.

Se você é apaixonado por idiomas e já tentou aprender alguma língua, com certeza conhece o Duolingo, uma das maiores plataformas de ensino de idiomas do mundo. Fundada em 2011 pelo professor de ciências da computação, Luis Von Ahn, que também é criador do famoso reCaPTCHA - sistema que protege sites de ataques de robôs - a ferramenta foi lançada no Brasil em 2012, conquistando um grande público que sonha em aprender vários idiomas de forma divertida. Atualmente, o Duolingo tem mais de 500 milhões de usuários, sendo 30 milhões apenas aqui no país. E para falar um pouco mais sobre a história da plataforma e suas expansão no Brasil, o Seu Podcast de Turismo, neste episódio, conversou com Analigia Martins, diretora de marketing do Duolingo. Oferecendo mais de 100 cursos em 40 idiomas diferentres, que vão do inglês ao esperanto, a empresa vem cada vez mais se destacando nas mídias digitais, crescimento que pode ser explicado, principalmente, por dois fatores: ensino gratuito aliado ao entretenimento. "Uma das principais características do Duolingo é a diversão. Aprender uma outra língua é um processo complexo e que exige leveza, pois assim fica mais prazeroso estudar", diz Analigia, que destaca a importância de aprender um outro idioma. "Ampliar o conhecimento linguístico é muito importante atualmente, muda a vida das pessoas, seja no trabalho ou em projetos pessoais, e é exatamente isso que move a empresa. Temos como propósito aproximar pessoas ao mesmo tempo que oferecemos um ensino de qualidade e gratuito", destaca a diretora. E é esse desejo de mudar de vida que tem motivado milhares de brasileiros a baixarem o aplicativo, tornando o Brasil o segundo maior mercado do Duolingo, ficando atrás apenas dos Estados Unidos. "Inicialmente, a maior divulgação do aplicativo foi no famoso boca a boca, não tínhamos estratégias de divulgação específica para o Brasil. Porém, com o passar do tempo, o crescimento foi tão grande que passamos a apostar nesse potencial com a divulgação nas redes sociais", conta Martins. Duolingo e Tinder Como já sabemos, uma das maiores características do Duolingo é o bom humor, e foi justamente isso que uniu a empresa com um dos maiores aplicativos de relacionamento do mundo, o Tinder. A parceria entre as empresas permite que membros do Tinder, através da função Passaporte, contem com a ajuda da corujinha verde para se comunicar em diferentes idiomas sem a necessidade do Google tradutor. Ficou curioso? Quer saber mais sobre o Duolingo?

In this episode of ACM ByteCast, Rashmi Mohan hosts past ACM Grace Murray Hopper Award recipient Luis von Ahn, co-founder and CEO of Duolingo, the world's most popular language-learning platform. He is also a Consulting Professor in the Computer Science Department at Carnegie Mellon University. Known as one of the pioneers of crowdsourcing, his many recognitions include the MacArthur Fellowship, MIT Technology Review's TR35, and the Lemelson-MIT Prize. They discuss how he, Manuel Blum, and others at Carnegie Mellon conceived the now famous technology behind reCAPTCHA, the company he founded before Duolingo, and sold to Google in 2009. Von Ahn gives insight into his journey toward harnessing the power of crowdsourcing to provide free, globally distributed language learning. They discuss the dominance of the English language in computing, the benefits and challenges of starting a company in Pittsburgh, some Duolingo user stories Luis has found particularly gratifying, and more.

Inspired to fix this, he created Duolingo to make language education free and accessible to everyone. von Ahn says he’s achieved his American Dream and is now working toward making an impact on worldwide education.
Hello and welcome back to Equity, TechCrunch’s VC-focused podcast (now on Twitter!), where we unpack the numbers behind the headlines.This week, Alex is on a much deserved vacation (but not from Twitter, it seems) so Danny Crichton and I chatted through the news and happenings of the week. Somehow we winded our way through the latest tech controversies, gave Chris Wallace a shout out, and ended with some funding rounds. I'll be out next week so don't miss me too much, but expect the entire Equity team to be back full-speed in mid-October. Thanks, as always, to our producer Chris Gates for his patience and diligence.Now, onto a sneak peak of what we got into:Moderation continues to be the root of all problems. We got into the the anti-semitic comments that were spewed on Clubhouse, and what that means for the future of the audio-only platform. As Danny so eloquently put it: if Clubhouse is having moderation problems even with an exclusive invite-only user base, the problem will grow.We also talked about Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong's blog post, which triggered a debate between us on whether tech companies can even choose to not be political. For the record, Black Lives Matter is not a political statement. It's a human statement. Read this op-ed for more.I wrote a piece about how a new program wants to be the Y Combinator for emerging fund managers. The whole "YC for X" model usually makes me roll my eyes, but listen to hear why I'm actually optimistic and bullish on programs like these taking off within tech.Silver Lake added a $2 billion 'long-term' hedge fund backed by Abu Dhabi to its tech finance toolkit. The strategy is a signal to privately-backed startups, and potentially a slap in the face to SoftBank.For a quick edtech note, I caught up with Duolingo's CEO this week in one of his rare press interviews. Luis Von Ahn explained the app's surge in bookings, and there's one key metric we pull out to noodle over.Danny explained Gusto's latest product launch with, wait for it, Gusto. In all seriousness, he brings up interesting points about the future of fin-tech feeling more full-suite, and free.Funding round chatter continued when we unpacked Lee Fixel's latest investment in India's InshortsFinally, we ended with LiquidDeath, which is not the name of a drinking game, but instead the name of a startup that has succesfully attracted millions in venture capital for mountain water.And with that, we will be back next week. Vote like your life depends on it, because it does.

Crowdsourcing is more than a group of people interested in the same cause, it’s a way to tap skills – and scale – that you don’t have. And when it works, it can be the rocket fuel that launches you to scale further than you could have ever imagined. No one knows this better than Luis von Ahn, founder and CEO of Duolingo. Duolingo is a language app with over 300 million users worldwide, who complete over 7 billion exercises a month. It’s their passion for learning that drives them to create even more content for the app – igniting the rocket fuel that Duolingo needs. Cameo appearance by Elizabeth Sampat (game designer and author).
In 2000, Luis von Ahn was starting his PhD in computer science when he attended a talk and happened to learn about one of Yahoo's biggest problems: automated bots were signing up for millions of free Yahoo email accounts, and generating tons of spam. Luis' idea to solve this problem became CAPTCHA, the squiggly letters we type into a website to prove we're human. He gave away that idea for free, but years later, that same idea had evolved into a new way to monetize language learning on the web, and became Duolingo. Today, the popular app is valued at $1.5 billion, and is seeing a big spike in growth while people are confined to their homes.

Razón de Estado con Dionisio Gutiérrez
Luis von Ahn grew up during the 1980s in the war torn country of Guatemala. Thanks to his mother's encouragement to play on a computer over of a Nintendo, Luis learned to program at an early age. He would go on to study at Duke and then Canegie Mellon, where he would develop the technology for the human verification tool, reCAPTCHA. Luis sold reCAPTCHA to Google and is now building the language learning app, Duolingo, which was voted "App of the Year" by Apple. http://twitter.com/drivecapital
Luis is an inventor and computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon. He is one of the creators of CAPTCHA, a system that allows websites to determine whether you’re a human or a computer. CAPTCHAs are wavy, distorted words that people need to type out when they’re submitting a form to a website. Luis’ company ReCAPTCHA […]
Luis von Ahn is familiar with the idea that education is a great equalizer, but the reality he’s observed is different. More often than not, the opportunity for an exceptional education is available only to the wealthy – and it makes them even wealthier. So what can be done about it? Von Ahn was born in Guatemala, where much of the population is poor. So after he struck it rich selling a company to Google, he decided to build technology that really does address the wealth gap, by targeting one type of education that does make a difference: language. That was the genesis of Duolingo. Today, it has touched 300 million users, and has both ad-supported and subscription versions. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
¿Cómo podemos aprovechar la tecnología para generar nuevos modelos de negocios y de paso resolver alguno de nuestros desafíos globales? De pequeño en Guatemala, Luis von Ahn tuvo una idea que lo acompañaría durante toda la vida. Hoy Luis es profesor en la Universidad de Carnegie Mellon y también es emprendedor. En su charla en TEDxRíodelaPlata, nos cuenta cómo esa idea se transformó en una plataforma global y gratuita para el aprendizaje de idiomas.Para más ideas de TED en Español, te esperamos en http://TEDenEspanol.com/
Take advantage of your down time by learning a foreign language! Duolingo is an incredible resource that gives many people access to education. Inspired by Luis Von Ahn and the Duolingo team and their efforts to even the playing field!
If you’ve verified you’re not a robot online, you’ve used something Luis von Ahn has created. He tells "Success! How I Did It," that he doesn’t read stories about himself, and he’s probably the only CEO our host, Rich Feloni, has ever interviewed who believably says he doesn’t care about money. Von Ahn is the CEO of Duolingo, a popular language learning app. He’s also one of the guys who developed CAPTCHA, those online tests that ask you to type in a word or series of letters when you buy tickets or set up an email account. Von Ahn grew up in Guatemala and he came to the US to be part of the tech scene. He was driven by a goal of getting millions of people to work together online. It made him a pioneer of the now ubiquitous crowdsourcing movement.
The fourth episode is a special edition featuring Luis von Ahn, co-founder and CEO of DuoLingo, recorded at SPAN 2017 in Pittsburgh. In the interview, Luis and guest host Aaron Lammer discuss why von Ahn chooses projects that can make an immediate impact and how language skills picked up from DuoLingo can increase earning potential in the developing world.

Luis has been named one of the 10 Most Brilliant Scientists by Popular Science Magazine, one of the 20 Best Brains Under 40 by Discover. In Today’s Episode You Will Learn: 1.) How Luis, a man as he describes "never great at learning languages", came to found the leading language learning app, Duolingo? 2.) Why do VCs generally believe Edtech to be such a "hard" space? Is that really a fair assumption? How does the role of government change the distribution and landscape of edtech? How does content creation play a pivotal role in edtech today? 3.) What role does Luis believe AI and ML will play for the future of edtech? Will the transition to bots represent a transformational shift in the interface paradigm? How does gamification and edtech integrate? Why does Luis always measure themselves against the most addictive of games? 4.) How has Luis seen himself scale and change as a leader with the scaling of the firm? What story shows an element that Luis struggled with and how did he overcome it? What were the major inflection points in the growth of the firm? 5.) Duolingo recently raised their $25m Series E, how did this round differ from prior rounds? Why did they want to negotiate down the figure they wanted to raise? How did Valley based VCs present herd mentality for the duration of the recent raise?

Marta On The Move Podcast- Hosted by Marta Napoleone Mazzoni
#86 Luis Von Ahn I wonder how many of you may know, that the widely popular company known as Duolingo, has it's base right here in Pittsburgh, PA? I sure didn't. After trying many language courses, Rosetta Stone, and even regular CD's you can listen to on your way to work (never happens), I found myself drawn to the free app that is Duolingo. I just happened to be browsing online one day, and noticed from their website, that they are Pittsburgh based! What, what? If you listen to my show, you know I love traveling, and merging my cultural experiences with my beloved hometown of Pittsburgh. Finding out that Duolingo was based here, and that I was addicted to the app, just made my day! I had to find out who was behind this, and get them on the show. Turns out a gentleman by the name of Luis Von Ahn created Duolingo. I reached out, scheduled an interview, and a tour of the office. Wanting to come prepared for the podcast, I started researching Luis, and found myself blown away by what he has accomplished in his 38 years. Luis is the inventor of the CAPTCHA. You all know what that is, the box at the bottom of almost any screen, with fuzzy words, that let's you prove you are not a robot. Along with that, he created reCAPTCHA, and ESP game, and now Duolingo, among various other notable projects. Luis has been named one of the 50 Best Brains in Science by Discover, voted in Silicon's 50 Most Influential People in Technology, and has been recognized as a Brilliant 10 by Popular Science. His credits are almost too long to list, and I cannot wait to see what he does next. To be honest, once I started researching Luis, I was extremely nervous to chat with him. The man is, in fact, a genius, and I suddenly found I wasn't very sure of myself. It turns out, that I did not have to worry at all, and was pleasantly surprised to find him funny, open, and candid. I truly enjoyed my time spent chatting with him about the origins of Duolingo, and what sent this kid who grew up in Guatemala down his path to success. I hope you enjoy this interview as much as I did. Also, a personal note to Luis. I am still available to be a squatter at Duolingo. I could clean the floors, take out trash, bring coffee, you name it. Ha Ha! (I am only partly kidding.) It is probably the coolest work place I have ever seen in my life. You can hear more about my tour with them in the intro of the podcast. If you haven't downloaded Duolingo yet, I HIGHLY suggest it. My husband and I practice it every morning, and we have found our Italian to be so much better. It has an amazing success rate, and more importantly, in our busy schedules, it is FUN. I wake up to the owl every morning :) This episode is sponsored by Levity Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh's best sensory deprivation chamber with a spa like atmosphere.

En el día en el que cumplo 1 año viviendo en USA, grabé este episodio charlando con Rosana Feld (también conocida como "mi esposa") y con el gigante Luis Von Ahn. Escuché Les Luthiers y (una vez más) le tiré onda a Siri.
Luis von Ahn invented CAPTCHA - the system that uses a picture of a word to determine whether you are a human or a computer. But when von Ahn realised just how much time was being wasted by filling in CAPTCHAs, he wondered whether that man-power could be used for something good. Now the very same process is digitising millions of books, that are available for free, as von Ahn told Chris Smith. Like this podcast? Please help us by supporting the Naked Scientists

CAPTCHAを作り変え、ユーザ入力で本の文字データ化に貢献できるようにした後、ルイス・フォン・アーンは膨大なインターネットユーザの小さな貢献を結集することで何か大きな目的を達成できるようなものが他にないかと考えました。TEDxCMUで彼は、何百万という人に外国語の学習をしてもらいつつ、ウェブの翻訳を素早く正確にタダでやってもらおうという、野心的な新しいプロジェクトDuolingoの紹介をしています。
После изменения модели CAPTCHA таким образом, что ввод каждого человека стал помогать оцифровывать книги, Луис фон Ан думал, как ещё использовать маленький вклад каждого из огромного числа людей в интернете на благо. На TEDxCMU, он рассказывает, как его новый амбициозный проект Duolingo поможет миллионам людей выучить новый язык, быстро и точно переводя интернет — и всё это бесплатно.
Após redefinir CAPTCHA para que cada resposta humana digitada ajude a digitalizar livros, Luis von Ahn imaginou como utilizar pequenas contribuições de muitos na internet para um bem maior. No TEDxCMU, ele compartilha como seu ambicioso novo projeto, Duolingo, irá ajudar milhões a aprender novas línguas ao traduzir a Web de forma rápida e precisa -- tudo de graça.
Après avoir réorienté les CAPTCHA pour que les saisies sur un clavier contribuent à numériser des livres, Luis von Ahn s'est demandé comment on pouvait aussi utiliser de petites contributions de la part de nombreuses personnes sur Internet pour le bien de tous. A TEDxCMU, il nous fait part de la manière dont son projet ambitieux, Duolingo, aidera des millions de gens à apprendre une nouvelle langue tout en traduisant le web avec vitesse et précision, le tout gratuitement.
Nach der neuen Nutzung von CAPTCHA sodass jede von Menschen getippte Antwort hilft Bücher zu digitalisieren, überlegte Luis von Ahn wie kleine Beiträge vieler im Internet noch für das öffentliche Wohl genutzt werden können. Bei TEDxCMU stellt er vor wie sein ehrgeiziges neues Projekt Duolingo Millionen helfen wird eine neue Sprache zu erlernen während sie das Web schnell und korrekt übersetzen -- alles kostenlos.
Después de redefinir el proyecto CAPTCHA para que los esfuerzos de identificar respuestas humanas ayuden en la digitalización de libros, Luis von Ahn se preguntó de qué otra manera se podrían usar esas pequeñas contribuciones de muchos en la Web para el bien común. En TEDxCMU (Carnegie Mellon University), explica cómo su nuevo y ambicioso proyecto, Duolingo, ayudará a millones a aprender un nuevo idioma mientras se traduce la Web de forma rápida y precisa… y todo gratis.
루이스 폰 안(Luis Von Ahn)은 사람들이 온라인상에서 입력한 답들을 모아서 종이책을 디지털화하는데 사용될 수 있도록 캡차(CAPTCHA, 웹사이트 등록인증 서비스)의 목적을 재설정 한 후, 그는 인터넷 시티즌의 이와같은 작은 기여를 어떤 다른 대의를 위해 사용할 수 있을지 생각해 봅니다. 루이스는 카네기멜론 대학에서 열린 TED 포럼에서 새로운 언어를 배우면서 인터넷상의 수많은 웹페이지를 무료로 빠르게 번역 할 수 있게 할 듀오링고라는 그의 대망에 찬 프로젝트에 대해 말합니다.
After re-purposing CAPTCHA so each human-typed response helps digitize books, Luis von Ahn wondered how else to use small contributions by many on the Internet for greater good. In this talk, he shares how his ambitious new project, Duolingo, will help millions learn a new language while translating the web quickly and accurately -- all for free.
