Saving from an AI chat
Use Koboshi from inside ChatGPT.
Say save insinuación to Koboshi while you are chatting with ChatGPT or working in Claude Code, and the word is in your vocabulary with its meaning and an example. See how to set it up.
How the memory works
Your language knowledge base, for every language, growing as you do.
Each review lands just before a word would fade and lifts it higher than before, so the gaps grow: a day, then three, then a week, then a month.
Polyglot mode
Strengthen every language you know, while you learn the next one.
Look a word up once and see it across every language you know. All of them live in one language knowledge base, so a word saved in one strengthens what you hold in the others.
Robbed of strength or ability; unable to act or function as normal.
- JA 行動不能 kōdō funō unable to act or function
- HI असमर्थ asamarth unable, incapable
- PT incapacitado incapacitated, unable

Questions
The things people ask.
Is this a language course?
No. Koboshi is a vocabulary memory app you use beside your other tools.
Is it a Duolingo replacement?
No. Use it beside Duolingo. Duolingo builds the habit, Koboshi keeps the words and brings them back until they stick.
How is it different from Anki?
The cards are made for you, it is multilingual by default, and there is no deck-building setup.
Can I save words from ChatGPT?
Yes. One prompt turns the words in your ChatGPT thread into a CSV, and you upload that file.
Can I use it for several languages at once?
Yes. Look a word up once and see it across every language you know.
Is it good for B1/B2 learners?
Yes. It is built for the intermediate vocabulary wall and the recall speed that speaking needs.
How much does it cost?
Free while in beta, no card required. There will always be a free plan, and we will never start charging you without asking first.
