What is Fluently?
Fluently is an AI English speaking coach that scores your pronunciation, fluency, grammar and vocabulary and shows how a native speaker would say it. It is made by Fluently, Inc., a Y Combinator-backed startup, and is available on iPhone, Android and the web. It has been covered by TechCrunch and Forbes, and its learners come from countries including China, Italy, Japan and the US.
Fluently is aimed at working professionals whose English is good on paper but hesitant when speaking. You talk with an AI tutor, and after each answer it rephrases what you said the way a native speaker would, highlights grammar and word choice, and points out specific sounds to improve. If you get stuck, it suggests phrases to continue. It also offers courses, games and interview preparation, and tracks your speaking level over time.
