Atlas Runa

Atlas Runa is an adaptive, freemium language-learning web app for Italian, Spanish, Mandarin, Japanese, and German, built by Eli Most in New York and led by AI tutor Runa. It combines writing and speaking corrections with AI conversation and shadowing practice that scores pronunciation, a library of thousands of free graded stories mapped to HSK and JLPT levels, listening practice, and a companion browser extension. Runa personalizes the path based on mistakes and repetition so learners can go from zero to conversational in the language they picked. A 2026 post on atlasruna.com/blog/how-to-become-a-polyglot/ shows how that adaptive loop works in the real world: a so-called "Fast Route" polyglot completed a ten-week UT Austin summer institute in Portuguese and transferred in, using spaced drilling and AI-assisted shadowing to move a spoken accent from non-native toward neutral in roughly two months. Atlas Runa is in Education / Language Learning and is Freemium. More at https://atlasruna.com and https://www.linkedin.com/company/atlas-runa.
