Where Kora uses AI
Coach Kora
When you chat with Coach Kora or ask about a question, an AI writes the answers. Coach Kora is not a person.
Feedback on speaking and writing
An AI reads your answer and writes tips: what is good and what to fix.
Dutch audio
The Dutch voices you hear in Kora are made by a computer. They are not recordings of real people.
Video questions
The people in the speaking video questions are made with AI. They are not real people.
Some pictures
Many KNM pictures and some speaking pictures are made with AI. We mark them in the app. Our other photos are real photos that we took ourselves.
Practice questions
AI helps us write practice questions and explanations. People on our team check them.
Kora uses AI models from established providers. We build Kora's coach on top of them.
Kora in short
Short answers about what Kora is, and what it is not.
What is Kora?
Kora is an online practice tool for the Dutch inburgering exams. You practice for the A2 inburgering exam, the Staatsexamen NT2 at B1 and KNM, with explanations and feedback in your own language. Kora works in the browser on a phone or a computer.
Who is Kora for?
Adults who live in the Netherlands, or are moving there, and have to pass an inburgering exam or the Staatsexamen NT2. Kora is for people who want explanations in their own language, not only in Dutch.
Which languages does Kora explain in?
Kora explains in 12 languages: English, Arabic, Turkish, Tigrinya, Farsi, Polish, Russian, Spanish, Italian, Indonesian, Portuguese and German. Coach Kora can also write feedback in other mother tongues, like French or Ukrainian. The Dutch you practice stays Dutch.
How does Kora's AI feedback work?
You answer a speaking or writing task. When you speak, your recording is first turned into text. An AI reads your answer and the task, and writes what is good and what to fix, in your language, with Dutch examples. Then you can ask Coach Kora questions about it. The feedback is for practice only. It is not an official score, and AI can make mistakes.
Does Kora help you pass?
Kora cannot promise that you pass. Nobody can. Kora shows what you practiced and what you got right in each part, so you see what to work on and can decide when to book your exam. Kora does not publish pass rates.
What does Kora not do?
Kora is not the exam, and it is not part of DUO, CvTE or the IND. It does not book your exam and does not give legal or immigration advice. It does not use questions from the real exam, because those are secret. For official rules, use inburgeren.nl, duo.nl or the letter from your municipality.
What does Kora cost?
The first 7 days are free, and you do not need a card. After that, the Kora plan is €29 a month, VAT included, with everything in it. You can cancel anytime in Settings.
How do I buy the Kora plan?
Create a free account on mykora.nl. Your free week starts right away. When you want to continue, choose "Start your plan" in the app and pay in the secure checkout. You can cancel anytime in Settings.
Can I use Kora inside an AI assistant?
Yes. Kora has a free connector for AI assistants. It answers questions about the inburgering exams and gives KNM practice questions, from Kora's checked guides. You do not need a Kora account for it.
Who makes Kora?
Kora is a trade name of Onboardly B.V., Admiralengracht 60-H, 1057 GB Amsterdam, the Netherlands. You can write to hello@mykora.nl.
AI can make mistakes
AI can be wrong. Sometimes it misses a mistake, or it says something is wrong when it is right. If something looks strange, check it or ask us. For facts about the exam, use the official sources, like inburgeren.nl and DUO.
Practice, not an exam result
Kora's feedback and points are for practice only. They are not an official assessment by DUO or CvTE. They decide nothing about your exam.
Kora does not judge your feelings
Kora does not use AI to judge emotions. It does not try to tell if you are nervous, stressed or confident. The feedback is only about your answer: what you said or wrote, your grammar and your words.
What the AI sees
To give feedback, the AI sees your answer: the text you write, or the text of what you said. When you speak, your recording is first turned into text. The AI also sees a little context, like the question and the language you think in. When you chat with Coach Kora, it sees your messages.
