Practical implementations of the idea that conversation skills help people build human connection. MandarinOS is available today as a working conversation practice. EnglishOS is being developed and tested—read what it is building below.
MandarinOS
A working example of ConversationOS in practice: MandarinOS helps people sustain meaningful exchanges and form relationships while learning Mandarin. It belongs in the commons as one concrete way conversation becomes the path to knowing people.
EnglishOS
EnglishOS helps people use the English they already know to build trust and relationships through conversation. It is initially exploring a specific challenge for Chinese companies expanding overseas: many salespeople can explain their products in English, but may be much less confident using English to get to know overseas customers.
