Introducing Mowyty AI

It’s been 2 months since I published Mowyty on the App Store (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/mowyty/id1622156106) and Google Play (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mowyty.app). There have been 15 updates in both app versions in total since then but I just released the biggest update so far: I added Mowyty AI – an AI driven feature that will help the users improve their reading and listening skills and at the same time they are given an opportunity to learn the interesting facts about Poland and life in Poland.ย 

Why?

There are 2 reasons why I decided to add an AI driven feature:

  1. Nowadays many people talk about AI and also they expect to see something related to AI in the digital products they use on a daily basis. So adding Mowyty AI is a great move from a marketing and a user acquisition perspective.
  2. Mowyty AI is available for the users who purchased a Mowyty Pro subscription so it’s making the Pro version of the app more interesting. Hopefully it will increase a number of the paying users.

What?

I spent quite a bit of time on reading articles and watching videos about how people leverage AI in their digital products because I was struggling to find the use cases that would be fully beneficial for the users, not only attractive from a technical perspective. I didn’t want to use AI just because it’s a hot topic at the moment in our industry. Eventually I came up with a great AI use case for Mowyty.

Here is a user flow:

  1. User enters a Mowyty AI screen.
  2. AI generates a list of the topics related to Poland and life in Poland. The topics are generated in Ukrainian.
  3. AI translates all the topics from Ukrainian to Polish so we can display both versions.
  4. User chooses one of those topics.
  5. AI generates a text about the topic chosen by the user in point 4.
  6. User may read the generated text but also may choose the app to read it for them (either a full text or the particular words).

How?

I used OpenAI API (https://platform.openai.com) to build Mowyty AI.

Mowyty is live ๐Ÿฅณ

We did it! Mowyty – an app that will help Ukrainians to start their new life in Poland just landed on Google Play (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mowyty.app) and App Store (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/mowyty/id1622156106) ๐ŸŽ‰

Mowyty in numbers so far:
– 11 months since the first push in a git repository,
– 16 people worked on Mowyty so far,
– 1 burnout that I had on the way,
– 2 platforms: Android and iOS,
– 1 codebase: Flutter,
– 23 followers on our Instagram profile so far (https://www.instagram.com/mowytyapp).

Mowyty wouldn’t be live now without help and hard work of everyone who contributed with their development, design, translation, legal, marketing and other services. Special thanks to the PettersonApps and Perpetio teams andย my friend Ulaย – I’m sure that without your help and support I would give up on this idea a few months ago ๐Ÿ™‚

It is just a beginning of course. We want to listen to feedback from our users and keep improving the product. If you have any Ukrainian friends for whom the app may be useful please share the links with them ๐Ÿ™‚
