Customer service has long been a maze — complex, fragmented, and frustratingly manual.

Most language apps will teach you to say “the cat drinks milk.” But when it comes time to order a coffee in Paris or hold an actual conversation, many learners freeze. Sylvi, a UK-based edtech startup, wants to change that. The idea was born out of frustration. When Sylvi’s founder, Tom Standen, took a trip to Paris with his girlfriend Amy Cameron, he expected her to handle the French. After all, she had a 600-day streak on Duolingo. Yet at the café counter, she couldn’t even order a coffee.
