This study employs a Qualitative approach with in-depth interview as its research instrument. The obtained data is analyzed using thematical coding to discover the theme and topic related to answer the researchers question, such as how teacher and students precieve Poly.AI in terms of usability, effectiveness, learning experience, and what challenges they encounterd while using Ploy.AI during educational practices. The research is expected to contribute to the on going disccusion of  how AI in general could affect and improved the educational field in digital era. In general the integration of Poly.AI has been well percieved by teachers and students in MAN1 Samarinda and proven to be an effective and entertaining study and teaching tools, as it could assist teacher deliver role-play related topics and help students improved them self in English.
