Round 4 - Direction Study

Why Broad Tiles + Level + Tell Qoloa wins

We compared three ways to open Qoloa: a cold CEFR/JLPT placement test, a photo-swipe personality diagnosis inspired by Love Face, and Qoloa's unified flow: 2-to-4 of 9 broad domain tiles + reading level & length → specific follow-up chat with Qoloa → one clean flippable card in Read.

A. Exam codes + quiz

Baseline

Stopping at broad tags ("Entertainment") without asking for specifics makes cards feel generic, and a 10-question grammar quiz feels like schoolwork before reading.

B. Photo diagnosis

Rejected

Copied the surface of Love Face instead of Qoloa's core promise. Abstract labels like "Your world balance" and "After hours lean" sound invented, and swiping photos does not let you read.

C. Tiles + Level → Chat

Recommended

Pick 2-4 broad domains and your reading level first, then Qoloa asks which specific shows, songs, or books you love and opens a level-tuned flippable card right away.

HOW THE FULL FLOW WORKS TOGETHER

Broad anchors + initial level + specific spark

1. Broad Interest Picker first (Step 2). Tapping 2-4 of the 9 illustrated domains (Entertainment, Food & drink, Culture & news) gives the learner instant visual recognition instead of forcing them to invent topics in a blank chat.
2. Level & Length Picker (Step 3). Five human-readable bands (Just starting to Ready for a challenge) plus piece length (Quick, A few min, Longer) tune sentence selection from Card 1.
3. Specific follow-up in Tell Qoloa (Step 4). Grounded in your Step 2 & 3 picks, Qoloa asks for specific loves (Your Name, Mafalda, Stromae, Kitchen) and drops straight into R3-Read.
Try all 8 screens live. Open Start with what you love to test how picking a pair in Step 1 or a level in Step 3 dynamically updates the flippable card in Step 5.
