What a ride this has been! And we are only getting started.
As the Head of Product, I lead the product management organization. In the last few years, our product teams have developed many features that make Duolingo more delightful for learners, including the unhinged widget, a brand-new subscription tier powered by generative AI (Duolingo Max), and a new home screen design for more effective learning.
