Make an AI plan

Pick a plan type and write a goal; AI builds the plan. It is saved under Not started and only runs after you tap Start.

Write a goal and AI lays out a plan for you. A saved plan goes to Not started first; it only runs after you tap Start.

Where it is

Space → Plans, then tap AI plan. You can also start from Today’s step on Home. There is no Plan bottom tab.

Steps

  1. Choose a Plan type: Exam prep, Single skills, Scenario practice, or Other. See Plan types.
  2. Parents and teachers first choose Who is this plan for. You can pick several people; each gets their own plan with the same goal, not a shared one.
  3. Write a clear goal, for example “order food and ask for directions on a trip in two weeks”. Exam prep fills in the exam and exam date from the learning goal; you can change them.
  4. Exam prep and Single skills use materials. The app checks My materials first. If something is missing, see “If…” below.
  5. Check the generated Plan steps, horizon, and cadence. Edit them directly if needed.
  6. Agree to the Terms of Use and save. The plan goes to Not started.
  7. Go to Space → Plans → Not started and tap Start. See Start a plan and the active limit.

Writing a good goal

  • Say the situation, time frame, and who you talk to (travel, interview, parent–child talk, and so on).
  • Avoid empty goals like “get better at speaking”.
  • With less than two weeks to the exam, the App shows a sprint warning when you make an Exam prep plan. Exam prep plans have no speaking steps, so add extra speaking practice before the exam with speaking tasks.

SituationWhat to do
My materials have nothing for this levelPick one: Use what I have (missing materials are added to the plan when they arrive), Switch to scenario practice (no materials needed), or Go to the store, get the material, and come back
Planning for a child or learner who has no materialsGet the material for them in the store. See Store and My materials
Generation fails or is slowCheck the connection and retry. If minutes are low, check usage first
The plan does not fitEdit the steps while it is Not started, or change the goal and generate again. Nothing runs before Start
No speaking level check yetYou can still make a plan, but doing the speaking level check first helps
