AI language practice · prelaunch
Learn through conversation with a companion built for your language.

Your Parla companion is AI, not a human. Responses can be inaccurate. No public store link is currently verified.

Forthcoming · Companion Studio
The control room behind companions that keep getting better.
Studio is the forthcoming operator workspace behind Parla: a focused place to shape persona behavior, test conversations, evaluate changes, and manage versioned releases.
Workshop
Review persona source, narrative, and behavior in one workspace.
Test
Run isolated conversations and compare evaluation results.
Release
Activate, roll out, pause, and roll back versioned personas.
Studio is currently a private, local operator tool—not a publicly available service. A separate hosted deployment is planned only after dedicated identity, role-based access, and audit controls are ready.

Personal, with boundaries
Context makes practice more relevant.
When relationship memory is enabled, selected preferences, recent messages, and low-risk memory facts are scoped by user, companion, relationship, persona version, thread, and generation.
One companion must never receive another companion’s messages or memory. Reset advances the relationship generation, while a complete user-facing memory-management interface remains unfinished.
Common questions
Clear answers before launch.
What is Parla?
Parla is an AI-powered language-practice beta built around text conversation, gentle corrections, and useful continuity.
What is Companion Studio?
Companion Studio is a forthcoming private operator workspace for shaping persona behavior, running isolated test conversations and evaluations, and managing versioned releases. It is not currently a public service.
Is my companion a real person?
No. Every Parla profile is a fictional adult AI language-learning persona. Profile details are character design—not claims about a human—and generated replies can be wrong.
Which languages are represented in the companion catalog?
Parla offers Spanish, French, Italian, German, Brazilian Portuguese, Japanese, Arabic, Hindi, Russian, Korean, Mandarin Chinese, English, Persian, and Kannada profiles in the current companion catalog.
Does Parla offer voice calls?
No. The inspected release is text-first and does not implement real-time voice calls.
What does Parla remember?
When relationship memory is enabled, context is scoped by user, companion, relationship, persona version, thread, and generation. A complete user-facing memory-management interface remains unfinished.
