English Coaching 'Progrit' Begins Free Offering of AI English Conversation App 'DiaTalk' to Students

## Overview
PROGRIT Inc. (Headquartered in Hamamatsucho, Minato-ku, Tokyo; President: Shogo Okada; Stock Code: 9560) has begun offering its AI English conversation app, 'DiaTalk', free of charge to students of its English coaching service, 'Progrit'. This initiative enables 'Progrit' students to easily engage in practical English conversation training anytime, free from time, location, or psychological constraints.

## Background and Challenges
In English learning, it is crucial to balance 'input' (acquiring knowledge) and 'output' (using language). However, students often face hurdles in output training, such as the inconvenience of booking lessons, the embarrassment of speaking with limited fluency, or gaps between practice and real-world business scenarios.

## Features of DiaTalk
'DiaTalk' allows users to have 10-minute intensive English conversation lessons with a dedicated AI instructor who analyzes and remembers the learner's interests and recent status, adjusting speech levels and accents accordingly.

### Realistic Conversation Experience
The AI instructor immediately recognizes user speech and responds with emotions and nuanced tones, offering an experience close to human conversation. It trains listening and speaking reaction times at a natural conversational pace.

### Choose Your Mode
- **Free Talk Mode**: Converse on any topic, such as daily activities or personal interests.
- **Role-Playing Mode**: Input roles, situational context, and goals to simulate specific real-world business scenarios tailored to the user's industry and job function.

### Feedback for Faster Improvement
After each lesson, the AI analyzes the content and suggests improvement points. It provides more natural phrasing and corrects grammatical errors. Corrected expressions are saved in a 'stock' for future use.

## Offering Details
Students enrolled in 'Progrit' can use 'DiaTalk' free of charge throughout their coaching period (Regular price: 3,982 JPY/month + tax). Dedicated consultants will review speech data and learning history to provide personalized coaching tailored to individual speaking challenges.

- Start Date: May 19, 2026
- Eligibility: Students currently enrolled in 'Progrit' coaching (with English conversation training curriculum).

## Future Prospects
'DiaTalk' plans to develop scoring and reporting features based on accumulated learning data, as well as functions to create future learning plans within the app. The company continues to combine 'technology' and 'human support' to provide personalized learning experiences.
