// Problem

Language practice is boring and low-feedback. You repeat phrases without knowing whether your pronunciation is actually improving, so you stop.

// Approach

You hear a Spanish phrase, say it into the mic, get scored, and advance through the Moonlit Bodega. Six AI services light up as you play: pronunciation scoring, structured intent extraction, generated art and music, and live provider telemetry. A real game loop with hearts, coins, and rooms, not a chatbot wrapper.

// Results

Built for the {Tech: Europe} Paris AI Hackathon. In under a minute a judge sees voice input become pronunciation scoring, structured intent, game progression, and generated art.

// Learnings

Wrapping AI feedback inside a game loop turns practice into something you actually want to repeat.
