Read Glottie language guidesYOUR PERSONAL AI LANGUAGE TUTOR
A great private tutor connects each lesson to your life, notices where you struggle, and knows when you’re ready for more. Glottie brings that approach to your iPhone, combining natural AI conversation with a learning path, memory, and review that continue across lessons.
Tell Glottie you want to speak with your partner’s family, raise a bilingual child, or feel at home abroad. Practise breakfast with your daughter, meeting relatives, or talking with a neighbour. Your goals and interests give the conversation a purpose.
Ask for a slower explanation, try the phrase again, or move into a more demanding conversation. Glottie uses your practice and progress to adjust support, revisit difficulties, and build on what you can already do.
Useful preferences, learning goals, and progress carry forward. Review brings earlier material back into practice, while your course gives the conversation direction. You can spend more time on a difficult topic without starting over every day.
Preparing for a client meeting or an international trip? Tell the tutor about your role and the situations you face. Rehearse introductions, explain a project, and practise relevant vocabulary in context. The goal is useful communication in your world.
NATURAL, TWO-WAY CONVERSATION
Glottie uses OpenAI’s Realtime API for direct speech-to-speech conversation. You speak aloud and the AI replies in a natural voice, with room to ask questions, practise a response, or ask for help. Glottie adds the teaching structure: your goals, your progress, and a plan for what to practise next.
On demand, day or night, with internet access and available minutes
Voice technology by OpenAI Glottie is an independent app. Your tutor’s voice is AI-generated.
PERSONAL PRACTICE, WITH MORE FLEXIBILITY
Five minutes before work. A conversation after the children are asleep. Glottie makes room for speaking practice when you have time, without booking an appointment. Personal AI tutoring can also cost substantially less than premium private lessons.
