01 · Product decisions
Technology in service of the experience
A web product
Next.js provides the application foundation, bringing the learning flows into an interface available through the browser.
AI within the learning flow
AI-assisted conversation is part of the learning experience rather than an isolated technology demonstration.
Costs kept under control
The voice experience is separated from the other flows. It is disabled in the public deployment to avoid API costs.
A verifiable implementation
The published product and public repository make the available experience and implementation open to exploration.
02 · Learning
A functional demo with explicit boundaries
The project reinforced a practical decision: preserve a useful demo even when a cost-dependent integration cannot remain continuously available.
