Gengobot is a chatbot-based grammar dictionary application that consists of Japanese Language Proficiency Test Level 5 and Level 4 (N5 and N4) grammars as a database, with the explanation and meanings in Japanese, Indonesian and English. The application development processes include problem identification and analysis, application designing, testing and improvement, and application implementation and publishing. As a result, Gengobot application has been successfully developed, and the test results showed that all its features successfully functioned as expected. The main features in Gengobot include Japanese grammars, meanings and explanations in three languages (Japanese, Indonesian, and English), index list, exercise, and basic knowledge about Japanese. The application is user-friendly and functions as a language learning medium that allows users to adjust their own learning speed, which is suitable to support independent learning, as well as to support teaching. © School of Engineering, Taylor’s University.
