Wellspoken Labs

Wellspoken Labs is an American AI technology company founded in 2025 by Liam Du and Felix Yu. It develops Wellspoken, an AI-powered communication training app that helps users articulate their thoughts clearly, expand their vocabulary, and speak confidently in a range of situations. The company positions the product as "a gym for your speaking skills": short, structured daily drills intended to build real ability over time, rather than generic advice to slow down and think. The core of the product is the Wellspoken Index, a 1000-point score that evaluates speech across Structure, Conciseness, Confidence, Pronunciation, Filler Rate, and Pace. Users practice through guided drills such as Speed Breakdown, Q&A, Bridge Builder, and Daily 60, each targeting a different facet of communication. Wellspoken runs on iOS, Android, macOS, and the web. Its desktop app records and analyzes real Google Meet, Zoom, and Microsoft Teams calls, connecting practice directly to the conversations that matter at work. The platform is rated 4.8 out of 5 on Trustpilot. The team combines professional speech coaching with behavioral science and product design. The coaching frameworks and exercise curriculum come from a practicing communication coach with a 300,000-person following, identified as Founding Coach Reece J.M, a London-based speech and communication coach with a background in drama, performance, and production who runs Progress Playground. The scoring model and daily practice design come from the two founders, who each spent years on the problem of speaking clearly under pressure — one through the study of human development, the other through competitive debate as a non-native English speaker. Wellspoken Labs also publishes practical editorial content about how people speak at work. Its editorial policy, updated May 2026, describes how the company researches, sources, reviews, and updates claims in its articles, citing academic journals, government data, well-known publications, and primary sources, and linking to the Wellspoken Index methodology page for internal data. Articles are reviewed by a team member before publication, and those touching the Index methodology are additionally reviewed by an engineer working on the pipeline. The company uses AI as a research and drafting tool but states that it does not publish raw AI output; every article is written, edited, and fact-checked by a named human author. As a young private company, Wellspoken Labs operates primarily through its own app and website, selling a consumer-facing speech-coaching product with a professional-use angle via meeting analysis. Its stated mission is to give users the reps, feedback, and frameworks to actually improve how they speak.

Wellspoken Labs was founded in 2025 by Liam Du and Felix Yu as an American AI technology company. The company's founding premise was that articulation is a trainable skill rather than a fixed trait, and that most people never receive focused feedback on how they actually speak. The two founders each approached the problem from a different direction: one through the study of human development, and the other through competitive debate as a non-native English speaker. Together they built the scoring model and the daily practice design that underpin the product. The company developed Wellspoken, an AI-powered communication training app. Its central mechanic is the Wellspoken Index, a 1000-point score that rates speech across Structure, Conciseness, Confidence, Pronunciation, Filler Rate, and Pace. Around that score, the team built guided drills — Speed Breakdown, Q&A, Bridge Builder, and Daily 60 — each targeting a different facet of communication, with the product framed as short, structured daily practice of roughly five minutes a day. To ground the coaching frameworks and exercise curriculum in professional practice, the company brought in a practicing communication coach with a 300,000-person following as Founding Coach. Reece J.M is a London-based speech and communication coach with a background in drama, performance, and production, who runs Progress Playground and has built a following across Instagram and TikTok. His frameworks and curriculum shape the drills users practice. Wellspoken expanded beyond mobile to run on iOS, Android, macOS, and the web. A desktop application was built to record and analyze real Google Meet, Zoom, and Microsoft Teams calls, connecting daily practice to the conversations that matter at work. The platform accumulated a 4.8 out of 5 rating on Trustpilot. The company also built an editorial operation publishing practical writing about how people speak at work. Its editorial policy, updated May 2026, sets out how it sources quantitative and empirical claims — citing academic journals, government data, well-known publications, and primary sources, while avoiding content farms and unverifiable listicles — and how it handles its own data, linking to the Wellspoken Index methodology page. Every article is reviewed by a team member before publication, and articles touching the Index methodology receive an additional review by an engineer working on the pipeline. The company uses AI for research and drafting but states it does not publish raw AI output, with each article written, edited, and fact-checked by a named human author and AI-generated illustrations used only as clearly stylized editorial hero images.
