AutoBabel is a reading-focused platform for learning Japanese. It helps you understand native material as you go, with AI that explains grammar, reads out loud, breaks down kanji, and translates in context.
It's built for people who want to learn through immersion — reading real Japanese, not textbook examples. You bring the content, and AutoBabel helps you follow along and build understanding naturally.
