## What it is

Learn Chinese Agent is a personalized Mandarin practice app for everyday language learning. It focuses on short practice sessions, useful recall, and context-aware coaching around real situations, phrases, and routines.

Under the hood, it uses LangGraph as the agentic framework and is powered by open-source models from Venice AI. That gives the product a structure for memory, review, guided practice, and ongoing coaching.

## What it explores

The project explores how AI can support language learning when the experience is personal, persistent, and grounded in daily life. It is not just a generic chatbot wrapper: the product shape matters as much as the model.

The useful parts are structured practice, recall, review, and lightweight persistence that helps a learner return to context rather than starting from zero each time.

## Current status

Live beta. The app is usable now, with the next focus on reliability, polish, and a stronger daily practice loop.
