TalkMe AI, the flagship product of Singapore-based Inspired AI, made a significant impact at Google I/O by presenting a fully AI-generated brand film. Built on Google’s Gemini Veo 3 and Flow models, the film tells the story of a penguin learning English, embodying the mantra “Don’t worry, Give it a try.” This innovative approach highlights TalkMe’s mission to make language learning as natural and expressive as real life.

The app’s storytelling-first strategy has resonated with users, boasting over 1 million learners and a curriculum of 10,000 lessons. Users engage with the app 34 times per week on average, speaking over 2,000 words weekly, with more than 60% remaining active after three months. TalkMe maintains a 4.8 global store rating and reached the top spot on ProductHunt in March 2025.

TalkMe’s collaboration with Google, initiated through the Google for Startups Accelerator in 2024, underscores its commitment to innovation. The app’s upcoming release will allow users to create complete lessons from a single sentence, marking a step towards an education AI Agent. Guided by the slogan “Real talk, Real confidence,” TalkMe is demonstrating that language learning powered by generative AI can be simple, human, and inspiring.

Founded in 2023, Inspired AI continues to redefine language learning and communication through its AI-native applications, transforming education worldwide.
