Palaygo

Project Overview
Palaygo is an EdTech platform operating in Japan and Australia, designed to connect students across borders for real-time language and cultural learning. Its core objective was to facilitate guided interactions that allow young learners to practice languages in authentic, interactive, and safe digital classrooms. The platform aimed to go beyond traditional learning tools by combining real-time communication, AI-assisted language guidance, and culturally rich content for K-12 students.

 

Key Metrics
The platform now serves over 100 schools across Japan and Australia, engaging approximately 39,000 students. AI modules provide sentence-level scaffolding, offering real-time suggestions and corrections. Privacy and child safety protocols ensure compliance with both Japanese and Australian educational regulations. Engagement metrics indicate a significant increase in classroom participation, language retention, and cross-cultural interaction among students.

Project Scope
CliqPack was tasked with designing and developing a secure, interactive, and AI-assisted cross-border learning platform. The project included building AI-driven language modules, classroom collaboration tools, curriculum integration features, privacy and child-safety compliance mechanisms, and a UX optimized for young learners. The platform was expected to be scalable, flexible, and robust enough to handle real-time communication between thousands of simultaneous users across multiple countries.

Project Workflow
The development process began with a detailed analysis of existing language-learning tools and cross-border educational requirements. Workflow audits were conducted to understand teacher and student needs in both countries. Following this, system architecture was designed to integrate AI-powered language scaffolding, classroom communication tools, and privacy enforcement modules. Core development involved:

• Building AI modules capable of real-time sentence suggestions, corrections, and language guidance.
• Designing interactive classroom features for peer-to-peer communication, group discussions, and teacher facilitation.
• Implementing child-safe protocols including content filtering, user monitoring, and secure authentication.
• Integrating school curricula from Japan and Australia to ensure relevance and compliance.
• Conducting teacher training and onboarding for smooth adoption and effective platform utilization.

Project Challenges
Palaygo faced multiple technical and operational challenges prior to CliqPack’s intervention:

• Existing platforms lacked real-time collaboration, limiting peer interaction.
• Available content was often culturally neutral or age-inappropriate, reducing engagement.
• Ensuring child safety and privacy while enabling real-time cross-border communication required strict adherence to local regulations.
• Integrating AI-assisted language guidance without disrupting natural communication flow was complex.
• Platform adoption required a UX design tailored specifically to the cognitive abilities and digital habits of K-12 students.
  

Results
The fully developed platform successfully overcame these challenges. Real-time AI modules enabled students to receive on-the-fly sentence corrections and language suggestions, increasing confidence and fluency. Secure, monitored peer-to-peer communication allowed students to interact safely across borders while adhering to educational and privacy standards. The intuitive UX encouraged seamless participation, and integration with local curricula ensured that learning objectives were met.

Final Output
Palaygo’s platform is now an award-winning, classroom-ready product recognized for its child-safe design with the Kids Design Award in Japan. It bridges cultural and linguistic gaps, enabling students to engage in practical language learning through daily interactions with peers abroad. Teachers report higher student engagement, and the platform has become a model for AI-assisted, secure, and interactive EdTech solutions for cross-border learning. According to Palaygo’s founder, “CliqPack helped us turn a dream of global student exchange into an award-winning, classroom-ready product used across Japan and Australia.
