CallAnnie is an AI-powered customer assistant that aims to help English learners improve their spoken English and experience intriguing and independent ways to practice. Animato, Inc. launched the platform in April 2023. CallAnnie allows learners to communicate with an AI tutor through either text or voice, real-time video or voice calls, and simulates everyday conversations, allowing practice at any time and place, such as while commuting, at home, or outdoors.

One unique feature of CallAnnie is that it provides instant pronunciation feedback to learners using speech recognition, allowing learners to make the appropriate corrections to their speech delivery and have a more fluent-sounding English accent. It also provides personalized learning paths based on user interests and goals to help the practice feel relevant and fun. By using interactive conversation scenarios and vocabulary-building content, learners can practice and acquire new words, phrases, and expressions that can be easily stored in their long-term memory.

CallAnnie provides more than a language-building tool but also serves as a supportive AI partner. Learners can have casual conversations, engage in everyday dialogues, or have fun speaking with an AI that behaves like a human without any pressure. For any learner, from a beginner seeking to gain more confidence in speaking English to an advanced student trying to improve their fluency, CallAnnie provides a fun, flexible, and engaging tool to improve one's English-speaking ability.
