Fluently

We envision a future where language barriers cease to limit human connection and opportunity. At Fluently, our mission is to empower non-native English speakers with a seamless, AI-driven tutor that transforms everyday conversations into dynamic learning experiences.

Harnessing advanced speech recognition and real-time correction technologies, we create personalized language coaching tailored to each individual's unique speech patterns and goals. Our constantly evolving platform integrates effortlessly into daily life, fostering confidence and fluency with every interaction.

By democratizing access to high-quality language education at a fraction of traditional costs, Fluently is not just teaching English — we are building a more connected, inclusive world where communication unlocks potential and possibilities for all.

We've been keeping tabs on AI language learning tools, and Fluently caught our attention for doing something most apps completely miss: actually listening to your real conversations. While Duolingo has you matching cartoon owls, Fluently sits quietly in the background of your Zoom calls, analyzing how you speak English and offering gentle corrections afterward.

It's the kind of practical approach that makes you wonder why nobody thought of this sooner.

The Always-On Tutor That Actually Works

What impressed us most is how Fluently integrates into your actual life rather than creating another app you need to remember to open. Once installed, it runs continuously during calls and meetings, picking up on grammar mistakes, pronunciation issues, and vocabulary gaps as they happen naturally.

We tested it during several work calls, and the post-meeting feedback was surprisingly insightful. Instead of generic "practice your Rs" advice, it highlighted specific moments where we used filler words or stumbled over complex sentences. The AI even caught subtle grammar errors that we didn't realize we were making consistently.

Smart Targeting for the Right Audience

Fluently isn't trying to teach you English from scratch—and that's exactly what makes it valuable. The app targets intermediate to advanced learners who already know the basics but want to sound more confident and natural in professional settings.

This focus shows up in everything from the conversation topics (think job interviews and client presentations) to the types of corrections it offers. It's clearly built for working professionals who need to use English daily, not casual learners picking up a new hobby.

The Economics Make Sense

At roughly 20 times cheaper than human tutors, Fluently's pricing strategy is pretty compelling. We're talking about unlimited practice sessions and real-time feedback for less than what you'd pay for a single hour with a traditional tutor.

The Y Combinator backing gives us confidence that they're thinking about scale and sustainability, not just burning through venture money with unsustainable pricing. For busy professionals who can't commit to regular tutoring sessions, this 24/7 availability is genuinely game-changing.

Our take? Fluently represents a smart evolution in language learning—less gamification, more real-world application. If you're already speaking English at work but want to sound more polished and confident, this could be exactly what you've been looking for.
