AI-native app showcases storytelling power and user stickiness with 1M+ learners
NEW YORK, Aug. 18, 2025 — TalkMe AI, the primary offering from Singapore-based Inspired AI, garnered significant attention at Google I/O with a completely AI-generated brand film created using Google’s Gemini, Veo 3, and Flow models. The short narrative depicts a penguin learning English under the motto “Don’t worry. Give it a try!”—eliciting laughter, tears, and widespread sharing.
Instead of emphasizing feature sets or technical terminology, TalkMe underscores the self-assurance gained through practical, daily communication. This storytelling-centric methodology aligns with the company’s objective: to render language acquisition as organic and articulate as actual conversations.
The presentation further emphasized TalkMe’s extensive partnership with Google since joining the Google for Startups Accelerator in 2024. Beyond its stage presence, the product has already earned user confidence: subscribing users engage with the application 3 to 4 times weekly, uttering more than 2,000 words each week, with over 60% remaining active after a quarter. The app holds a global store rating exceeding 4.8 and achieved the top position on ProductHunt in March 2025.
Boasting more than 1 million learners and a curriculum comprising 10,000 lessons, TalkMe has established its proprietary “TalkMe Universe”—featuring over 11,000 user-contributed scenarios designed to tailor learning comprehensively. The forthcoming update will enable users to generate entire lessons from just one sentence, heralding the progression towards an educational AI Agent.
Operating under its motto, “Real talk. Real confidence.”, TalkMe demonstrates that language acquisition, when driven by generative AI, can be simple, human, and motivational.
