What is whachama?

Whachama is an immersive language learning web app for English speakers, designed as a messenger where you chat with an AI agent to practice your target language in real conversations. Each agent has a unique personality, simulating diverse interactions to help you build fluency while receiving gentle grammar and typo corrections. The name 'whachama' is inspired by 'whatchamacallit' —a placeholder for a forgotten word. With regular practice on whachama, you’ll find yourself using fewer 'whatchamacallits' and speaking with confidence.
