Duolingo's "Videocall" function, which allows users to make phone calls to the depressed teenager "Lilli", is now also available in the Android version. The AI function has already been available for the first Android users for a few weeks, but Duolingo has now released it for all app users – provided they have a "Duolingo Max" or "Duolingo Super" subscription costing between 14.99 and 29.99 euros.
More Lilli for iOS users
Duolingo also promises improvements to the character's reactions and emotions and new functions such as conversation summaries of dialogs for later review. Duolingo is also testing an option that allows users to occasionally use Lilli for free. It is also possible for Lilli to call herself if her conversation partners do not contact her for "too long", a press spokesperson explained to heise online.

The video call function for Lilli has been available since September 2024, initially for iOS users. Various other innovations were also introduced at that time, such as the Adventures function, which allows language learners to interact with Duolingo characters in different environments. Another innovation is a compact electric piano created in collaboration with Loog, a manufacturer of portable musical instruments, for music lessons on an electronic piano.
