Lingut in one sentence

Lingut is the company; Deutschtrainer is the product it makes. People also write the name as “Lingut AI” because the product's feedback, grading and examiner voice are AI-powered, but the company name is simply Lingut. It is not a translation service, a document automation tool or a general-purpose chat tutor — it prepares people for specific, official German exams.

What Lingut is not

Because the name resembles several other products, it is worth being explicit. Lingut is not Lingint, Lingolet, Lingtutor, Lingo AI or Lintu.ai, and it has no connection to them. Lingut does one thing: German certification exam preparation at deutschtrainer.lingut.ai.
