I’d rather have this feature built into LingQ because it knows so much of my language history.

If I was more tech-savvy or just less lazy, I would’ve made a text-corpus of sorts that would include every book I’ve read in my target language, as well as every podcast that I’ve enjoyed, then feed this to chatgpt (or train it, don’t know the right terminology).
That might result in a chatbot that could be helpful for vocabulary acquisition, perhaps word frequency analyse.
I think this idea could go a long long way.

I frequently paste sentences or type words into gpt in order for grammar or nuances to be explained in detail. An integrated chat system would be useful.
I’ve used the API before and it doesn’t yet have a programmatic way of being fed prior information like all read lessons, although there is a manual way for devs.
An intelligent person could set up a 3rd party method for automating the process of updating the prior information of a bot. There may be more suitable alternatives however.

Feed would be the better term here as, as far as I know, gpt doesn’t offer a means for training. Training implies feedback, either automated or manual, and gpt has no explicit way to give feedback as far as I know. You can only ask it to do stuff, give it context, and yell at it when it misbehaves.

I’d love to see something like that implemented here! I’m also paying for an AI chat to practice languages, lingq really needs this feature.

I agree with you. I also signed up for Languatalk for this feature, and now find that I’m tongue tied trying to talk with a bot. Maybe I should have tried ChatGPT, but I thought that maybe I would be able to import books/ lessons into Languatalk like I do with LingQ. But Langua has a character limit that is difficult predict. Then the material that I painstakingly copied and pasted into Langua had all the punctuation removed, so when it’s read back by AI, there’s no inflection.
Now I’m having trouble with the copy/paste function working in LingQ. I sure hope they get it fixed soon. I posted a question about it to support,

Yes, please add another feature that will most likely cause a lot of issues, won’t work reliable and will draw the developers attention away from fixing all the already persisting issues.
Or use any of the dozens of chatbots that are available for free.

Exactly. Lingq does not need any more gimmicky features and shouldn’t become a one-in-all program. Instead, they should focus on making the program more reliable and improving existing features.

I would prefer if the Lingq team focused on fixing problems with core functions rather than starting new projects while leaving everything half-baked. If Linq introduces an AI chat feature, I’m sure they’ll release it before it actually works, abandon it before it’s finished, and then start working on other new bells and whistles.

Everyone and his brother has some neat feature they would pay more to have in LingQ. But will 10,000 other people each pay more for that exact feature? Should there be two prices for LingQ, and without that feature?
LingQ is not a program for 1 customer. If it was, the price would be 13,000 per month instead of 13 per month.

More features are great if they actually work. The complainnt is that Lingq keeps adding new features, without ever fixing existing problems. Then the same thing happens with the new features. They’re rolled out before they’re ready, and they never get fixed because the Lingq team is too busy adding yet more features that don’t work properly.
