General
What is Duobot?
A Chrome extension that works through Duolingo lessons on duolingo.com for you. It reads the question on screen, answers it, checks it and moves on, at a pace you set.
Is Duobot made by Duolingo?
No. Duobot is an independent project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Duolingo, Inc.
Which languages and courses does it work with?
Any course on the Duolingo website. Duobot reads the question itself rather than relying on a word list, so the language you study does not matter.
Does it work on my phone or in the Duolingo app?
No. Duobot is a browser extension and runs only on duolingo.com in Chrome on a computer. Progress you make there shows up in the app as usual.
Which browsers are supported?
Google Chrome, and Chromium browsers that install extensions from the Chrome Web Store, such as Edge, Brave and Opera. Firefox and Safari are not supported.
What are Mods?
Study tools that change Duolingo's own screens while you do a lesson yourself: Skip ads, Skip motivation cards, Hide the sentence, Arrow keys, Audio bar, Dictate answers, Study hints, Live typing check, All solutions, Check by itself, Remember answers and Hard mode, plus three for the path. Open them from the puzzle piece in the panel. Each one stays off until you switch it on. See them all.
Which mods are free?
Skip ads, Skip motivation cards, Hide the sentence, Arrow keys and Audio bar, plus both toolbar icon options. The rest are part of Max.
What question types can it answer?
More than 30, including word banks, multiple choice, matching pairs, typing, fill in the blank and listening questions. Speaking questions are declined and skipped, and audio nodes on the path are left alone.
Your Duolingo account
Will my XP, streak and league count?
Yes. Duobot answers inside your own logged in session, so Duolingo records the lesson as it would any other.
Can I get banned?
It is possible, and no tool can honestly promise otherwise. Automating lessons may go against Duolingo's terms, and Duolingo decides what happens to accounts on its platform. Duobot's default pace, letter by letter typing and Natural errors are there so it does not race through lessons, and the panel warns you if you set delays below the Fast preset. Whether to take the risk is your call. See Your Duolingo account in our terms.
Are Streak Guard and the XP Farm safe?
No, and the panel says so. Both are automated activity, which is against Duolingo's terms. The XP Farm sends practice sessions straight to Duolingo without opening a lesson, and Duolingo can detect it and restrict, reset or ban the account. Streak Guard needs the browser open and you signed in at that time, so it can also fail. Both stay off until you accept the risk. Use them only on an account you are ready to lose.
Does Duobot need my Duolingo password?
No. It works with the session already open in your browser. We never see or store your Duolingo password.
Why does Duobot read my Duolingo username?
Each Duobot account is linked to one Duolingo profile, which keeps the free plan from being claimed again and again by the same person. Only the @username is sent to us for this.
Plans and billing
What is in the free plan?
20 uses of Auto-Solve and Solve & Skip in total, two automatic lessons every day, one reminder, five lesson mods, the 7 and 30 day progress chart, and your stats on your account. You need to sign in with Google: signed out, Duobot stays locked and no reminder fires.
How much is Max?
$9.99 every six months, shown and charged in your currency at checkout. See Pricing.
How do I upgrade?
Sign in from the panel, then click the MAX badge or Unlock everything. Checkout opens in a new tab and Max turns on after payment.
How do I cancel?
Email contact@appduobot.com from your account address. Max runs until the end of the period you paid for and does not renew.
What is your refund policy?
Ask within 7 days of a payment and we refund it in full. A refund ends Max straight away. Details on Refunds and cancellation.
Privacy and data
What does Duobot collect?
Your Google sign in details (name, email, picture), your Duolingo @username, your Duobot totals, your portable settings, and your subscription status. The privacy policy lists every field and why.
Does it read my answers or my browsing?
The extension reads the question on the page in order to answer it, inside your browser. Lesson content is not sent to us, and the extension only runs on duolingo.com.
How do I delete my data?
Write to contact@appduobot.com and ask for deletion. We remove your account and everything attached to it within 30 days.
Troubleshooting
The chips disappeared after I changed course
Turn Automation off and on again. That redraws the chips on the new path.
I paid and it still shows locked
Press I already paid, check again in your profile in the panel, and check you are signed in with the Google account you paid with.
Duobot got stuck on a question
Duolingo updates its site often. Answer that question yourself, press Auto-Run to continue, and use Report a bug in the panel so we can fix it.
