Astrid, the Stockholm-based AI voice intelligence company, announced its collaboration with internationally renowned Trinity College London. Bringing Astrid’s innovative AI and Trinity’s 150-year legacy and domain expertise together, the partnership is transforming English language learning for children and teens aged 5–14 years.
The SkillUp! app, an exciting result of this collaboration, is a game-changer in language learning. Combining Astrid’s advanced AI voice intelligence technology and Trinity’s incredible academic depth and expertise, the app offers an engaging, effective, and innovative approach to language learning that responds to each learner’s pace and proficiency. The “AI coach” in the app provides instant feedback and assistance to learners to create a highly personalised learning journey that grows with each learner. The vast library of story content — all designed by Trinity’s specialist educators and academic team — covers the needs of every young learner, from students with special needs to those preparing for Trinity GESE exam levels (Graded Examinations in Spoken English).
This partnership underlines Astrid’s longer term vision to integrate its leading AI voice technology to transform businesses and organisations in multiple verticals by powering human communication with AI.
“We’re incredibly proud of the SkillUp! application and our collaboration with a global leader like Trinity College London.” said John Kristensen, co-founder and COO at Astrid. “This landmark project exemplifies the transformative potential of our AI-powered voice intelligence technology, poised to redefine industries and empower human connectivity.”
Erez Tocker, CEO at Trinity College London, added: “The SkillUp! application is every teacher’s ally. It will help to empower and motivate language learners through the personalised learning offer and the immediate, AI-driven feedback. As a modern heritage business, we know the importance of staying relevant to our customers. The SkillUp! app, which we’ve developed in collaboration with Astrid, is a good illustration of how Trinity is transforming its business using technology while also maintaining high standards of academic integrity.”
