1. AI-Powered Language Learning

LUMI is an artificial intelligence-powered English conversation partner designed to assist users in improving their English speaking skills. Our platform utilizes advanced machine learning algorithms, natural language processing, and speech recognition technologies to provide personalized language learning experiences.

While we strive to provide accurate and helpful language guidance, users should understand that LUMI is an AI system and has inherent limitations that are important to acknowledge.

2. Limitations of AI Technology

As an AI-powered platform, LUMI has several important limitations:

  • Not Perfect: AI responses may occasionally contain errors, inaccuracies, or inappropriate suggestions
  • Context Understanding: Our AI may sometimes misinterpret context, nuance, or cultural references in conversations
  • Language Complexity: Advanced grammatical concepts, idiomatic expressions, or regional dialects may not always be handled accurately
  • Real-time Processing: Speech recognition and analysis may be affected by audio quality, background noise, or technical issues
  • Evolving Technology: AI models are continuously updated and improved, which may result in variations in feedback and recommendations

3. Educational Purpose Only

LUMI is designed exclusively for educational and language learning purposes. Our AI provides:

  • Conversational practice opportunities
  • Pronunciation feedback and suggestions
  • Grammar and vocabulary guidance
  • Speaking confidence building exercises
  • Progress tracking and learning analytics

LUMI is not intended to replace:

  • Formal language education or certified language courses
  • Professional language instruction or tutoring
  • Official language proficiency testing or certification
  • Academic or professional language assessment
  • Human interaction and cultural learning experiences

4. No Guaranteed Outcomes

While LUMI is designed to support English language learning, we make no guarantees regarding:

  • Learning Speed: Individual progress rates vary based on numerous factors including prior knowledge, practice frequency, and personal learning style
  • Proficiency Levels: Achievement of specific English proficiency levels or test scores (TOEFL, IELTS, etc.)
  • Skill Improvement: Specific improvements in speaking, listening, grammar, or vocabulary skills
  • Academic Success: Performance in academic, professional, or certification contexts
  • Timeline Results: Learning outcomes within any particular timeframe

Success in language learning depends on many factors including consistent practice, engagement level, individual aptitude, and complementary learning activities outside of LUMI.

5. AI Decision-Making and Bias

Our AI systems are trained on large datasets and may reflect certain biases or limitations present in training data. We continuously work to improve our models, but users should be aware that:

  • AI feedback may reflect certain linguistic or cultural perspectives
  • Pronunciation assessments may be optimized for specific accents or dialects
  • Grammar corrections may prioritize formal over conversational English
  • Vocabulary suggestions may reflect common usage patterns in training data
  • Topic discussions may be limited by the AI's training scope

We encourage users to supplement LUMI with diverse learning resources and human interaction to gain well-rounded language skills.

6. Data Processing and Privacy

LUMI processes your voice data and conversation content using AI algorithms. Important considerations include:

  • Voice Analysis: Your speech is processed to provide pronunciation feedback and progress tracking
  • Conversation Content: Your interactions with LUMI are analyzed to provide personalized learning experiences
  • Data Security: We implement security measures to protect your data, but no system is 100% secure
  • Model Improvement: Aggregated, anonymized data may be used to improve our AI models and services
  • Data Retention: Your data is retained according to our Privacy Policy and applicable laws

For detailed information about how we collect, use, and protect your data, please review our Privacy Policy.

7. Technical Reliability

While we strive to provide reliable AI services, users should understand that:

  • AI systems may experience occasional downtime or technical issues
  • Internet connectivity and device performance can affect AI responsiveness
  • Software updates may temporarily change AI behavior or performance
  • Audio quality and background noise can impact speech recognition accuracy
  • AI responses may occasionally be delayed or unavailable

We recommend using LUMI in quiet environments with stable internet connections for optimal performance.

8. Complementary Learning Approach

For best results, we strongly recommend using LUMI as part of a comprehensive language learning approach that includes:

  • Human Interaction: Practice with native speakers and other language learners
  • Formal Education: Consider structured language courses or professional instruction
  • Diverse Media: Consume English content through books, movies, podcasts, and news
  • Cultural Immersion: Engage with English-speaking communities and cultures
  • Multiple Tools: Use various language learning resources and applications

9. Inappropriate Content and Safety

While our AI is designed to maintain appropriate conversations, we cannot guarantee that all AI responses will be suitable for all users or contexts. Users should:

  • Report any inappropriate or concerning AI responses immediately
  • Use discretion when sharing sensitive or personal information
  • Supervise children and young learners during AI interactions
  • Understand that AI responses may not reflect personal or cultural sensitivities
  • Discontinue use if AI responses become consistently problematic

10. Future AI Development

AI technology is rapidly evolving, and LUMI's capabilities will continue to improve over time. We may update our AI models, algorithms, and features without prior notice. These updates may result in changes to AI behavior, response quality, or available features. We encourage users to stay informed about platform updates and provide feedback to help us improve our services.

11. User Responsibility

Users are responsible for:

  • Using critical thinking when evaluating AI feedback and suggestions
  • Verifying important language concepts through additional sources
  • Understanding that AI is a tool to support, not replace, comprehensive language learning
  • Maintaining realistic expectations about AI capabilities and limitations
  • Providing constructive feedback to help improve the platform
