The problem it solves

You want to build vocabulary in a language you're learning, but making flashcards from scratch is tedious and you forget to keep it up. Words you've already heard many times in music never turn into deliberate practice.

Who it fits

Language learners and language schools who want personalized vocabulary practice from real content.

How it works

  1. Every week the system checks your recently played Spotify songs
  2. It looks up the lyrics for each song
  3. AI pulls out useful vocabulary words at your level
  4. New words are checked against words you've already learned
  5. Fresh vocabulary is added to your Google Sheet
What you get

Flashcards built from songs you already love

Your weekly Spotify listening turns into fresh vocabulary flashcards in a Google Sheet, giving learners new words drawn from music they enjoy.

What you get

A running Google Sheet of vocabulary words and translations, ready to study.

What you need

A Spotify account, a Google account, and a Gemini API account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
