I'm building Kardo (https://kardo.cards/), AI tutor that listens to your calls with a teacher and creates cards for repetition.

I live in Lisbon and I've been learning Portuguese with a tutor since 2022. After every lesson I'd sit down and make flashcards from my notes and screenshots. Spaced repetition works, but making the cards took manual effort each time. Most days I just didn't do it. So I have automated that process.

The flow: you invite the Kardo bot to your call, it records and transcribes (Recall.ai + Deepgram Nova 3), then GPT-4o extracts vocabulary from the transcript and generates cards. You review them with spaced repetition — we use FSRS, which is the best open algorithm I could find. If you already use Anki or Mochi Cards, there's export.

You can also throw in YouTube videos, podcasts, articles, PDFs — not just live lessons.

Tech: built entirely with Claude Code. React + Vite frontend, Bun + Elysia backend, Convex for the database, Railway for hosting.

We got 50 beta users through Telegram, and just landed our first paying customer. Now we're trying to figure out distribution — tutors seem like the obvious channel because one tutor recommends you to all their students, but reaching them with zero marketing budget is the hard part.

Curious if anyone here learns a language with a tutor and what your review workflow looks like.
