Frequently asked questions
What is DokiTalky?
DokiTalky is a web-based AI language partner where adult learners practice Korean, Japanese, English, and Korean dialect expressions by chatting with fictional characters.
Are the characters based on real people or celebrities?
DokiTalky characters are fictional adult characters. Common styling details such as tracksuits, regional settings, or dialect concepts may overlap with real-world culture, but the service does not claim to identify, imitate, or be affiliated with any specific real person or celebrity.
Which languages can I practice?
The MVP focuses on Korean, Japanese, English conversation, and Korean dialect practice. Replies can include meaning, pronunciation, and more natural phrasing.
How is DokiTalky different from ChatGPT?
DokiTalky is built around character chat, starter situations, conversation tone, and language feedback. It turns practice into a repeatable conversation instead of a blank prompt box.
Can I use DokiTalky for free?
The MVP offers a short free chat experience in the browser. Real payments are not implemented yet, and early feedback is used to validate the product flow.
Do I need to install an app?
No. DokiTalky is web-first, so learners can choose a character and try a short conversation directly in the browser.
Is DokiTalky useful for beginners?
Yes. Beginners can start with short sentences and check meaning, pronunciation, and more natural phrasing beside the conversation.
How does DokiTalky handle Korean dialect practice?
Dialect practice is framed around practical scenes such as travel, food ordering, and local conversation. The goal is respectful learning, with meaning and standard Korean hints when useful.
Are AI replies always correct?
AI replies are learning support, not an authority. Expressions, pronunciation, and dialect nuance can be imperfect, so important translations or formal study should be checked with additional sources.
Can I create my own character?
Custom character creation is planned. The intended direction is to let learners set personality, tone, mood, and starter situations while avoiding direct imitation of real people or celebrities.
