Are you a near-native English speaker looking to improve your fluency? Look no further than Fluently, a revolutionary app created by Stan Beliaev and Yurii Rebryk. Inspired by their own desire to enhance their English skills, they developed Fluently, a cutting-edge tool that uses AI to provide personalized feedback and tips on spoken English.
Similar to other platforms like ELSA, Fluently differentiates itself by analyzing real-life calls for feedback. Users can record and transcribe their conversations, or practice with AI coaches like “Ryan” for casual chats or “Kyle” for mock interviews.
With an estimated 84 million non-native English-speaking employees worldwide, Fluently targets a significant and growing market. This unique focus helped Fluently secure a spot in Y Combinator’s winter 2024 batch and secure a $2 million seed round from prominent investors.
Driven by a tech-focused team, Fluently prioritizes understandability over accent, offering comprehensive support for pronunciation, grammar, pace, and vocabulary. Users can expect continuous improvements and additional features like rephrasing advice in the future.
While still in beta, Fluently shows great promise in helping users enhance their speaking skills. From perfecting tricky pronunciations to addressing specific language challenges, Fluently aims to provide a valuable learning experience.
Ensuring user privacy is a top priority for Fluently, with data securely stored and anonymized for third-party use. The app’s compatibility is currently limited to MacOS, but a Chrome extension is in development.
As Fluently looks to expand its reach and enhance its features, the recent seed funding will support team growth and future marketing efforts. With a strong emphasis on user-specific improvements, Fluently is poised to revolutionize the journey from proficient to fluent English.
