Web Tech Watch: Mondly, Radar, Clara, Signbot and More
Welcome to another edition of Website Magazine's Web Tech Watch series, a special roundup profiling some of the most interesting and inspiring Web-related technologies, tools, products and services our digital community has come across this week.

Artificial intelligence will undoubtedly change how humans interact with one another. While we are only beginning to see the possibilities of AI, there are some innovative application already being made available today. 

ATi Studios, for example, the creator of language learning platform Mondly, recently released a VR app for language education that combines the artificial intelligence technology behind chat bots with speech recognition in virtual reality. The Learn Languages VR offering from Mondly allows users to practice conversing in 28 different languages with virtual characters, within realistic situations that teach language fundamentals and help build their confidence. The VR app uses Mondly's conversational voice chat bot, which was first released by the company in Aug. 2016 and has been used by millions of Mondly users, learning millions of new phrases and responses along the way thanks to the chat bot's self-learning technology.
