Google's AI Studio - how to crowd-source an app

I created an app, or rather Google's AI Studio created an app from a single simple prompt, "Using voice can you offer to provide the learner of English with ways to practise Speaking, Listening, Reading, Writing, Grammar, Vocabulary or pronunciation"

It took 5 minutes!

This is the app:

Google called it LinguaFlowAI.


I have shared it widely on LinkedIn and various Facebook groups and with my own WhatsApp group called 'Speech to Text in Language Learning and Teaching' suggesting that any adult with a Google account could make changes and improvements to the app and then share it.

To illustrate this way of crowd-sourcing an app, I used my wife's Google account and used this prompt, "Can you make the app in italian and make it useful for learners of italian?" and this is the result:

Google called it LinguaFlow IT


Here's a video of one sequence of steps using the Italian version:


This was the sequence of actions: 1. I chose the module 'Strumenti (di Apprendimento)', and then 'Trascrivi Audio' and uploaded a recording in Italian 2. I copied the transcription and pasted it into 'Tutor Textuale' and asked, "Correct my errors in Italan" 3. I copied the text and went back to 'Strumenti (di Apprendimento)' and chose 'Text to Speech' and pasted in the text. 4. I started Screen Recording on my Android phone. 5. I clicked on the Genera Audio button and waited a bit 6. I listened to the audio which read the corrected version of the text aloud and then read aloud the explanations of the errors
