Duolingo CEO: You Only Need 2 People and 6 Months to Build the Next Big Product

I am building my own AI startup! Keep my words , I am going to be in one Podcast of yours in a few years!❤

What's the first thing you want to vibe code after watching this? 🥸

Escaped the Duolingo daily reminder just to come to Youtube and watch something about Duolingo

The point is that AI (and soon, humanoid robots equipped with AI) will clearly take people’s jobs. Bc the average person will never become an entrepreneur and obv isn’t interested in becoming one. So it’s obvious that the vast majority of ppl in the world will lose their jobs, cus AI will soon become the employee that does everything under the direct command of the entrepreneur. There will no longer be a need for human staff, except for a very small number of highly specialized and exceptional individuals. And ts means that society will need a redistribution of wealth so that ppl can consume and buy without having a job. So that the economy doesn’t collapse. Basically, humanity (finally) will be forced to find other ways to live that will no longer be through mandatory human labor. And governments will soon have to figure out how to manage all of this. It will be a new era. we should accept the inescapable reality that work, as it has been understood for centuries, may disappear in the near future or change radically from what we know today finally. Ts does not mean that human activities will disappear but only that it will no longer be necessary to perform activities for economic purposes in a continuous and coordinated manner over time with a hierarchy of responsibilities🤷‍♂️

Such a fantastic and insightful interview! A few things really stood out to me about Luis's leadership: His perspective on AI: It's incredibly refreshing to see a founder embrace AI so positively. His candidness about feeling a bit nervous regarding the uncertainty of the future makes him so authentic and relatable. His humanity: The way he prioritizes and genuinely cares about his employees' growth and development speaks volumes about his character. His long-term vision: I absolutely love his long-term thinking. Refusing to be distracted by short-term noise and choosing to hyper-focus on the long game and actual user experience is exactly what makes a great leader. Truly inspiring to watch!

your all video is truly inspiring and something every young person should watch.

Learnt the most about this topic than any of the people you have had on. Nice to see someone so humble 😊

He actually gets it when it comes to AI. It’s a tool to aide devs and product teams. The startup I was working for is delusional

As a Duolingo shareholder, who’s just recently built a massive position in my portfolio, I cannot thank you enough for getting señor Luis to your podcast ❤Amazing interview and an amazing CEO who will change education at a global scale 👏🏽

Pozdrav. Ovaj razgovor mi se izrazito svidio. Zanimljivo je kad čovjek koji vodi tvrtku bude prizeman, zahvalan i drag. Želim mu sreću u životu!
