Summary
Duolingo’s bold AI-first pivot, once met with skepticism, is now delivering massive wins: 148 new language courses in a year (vs. 100 over 12 years), 21% YoY growth in daily users and paying subscribers hitting 12.5 million, and 27% revenue surge to $292M—proving AI isn’t replacing people but amplifying their reach and profitability.
