Speakeasy v0.1.0 — First Release 🎉

Talk to Alex. Practice English without the pressure.

Speakeasy is an AI-powered English conversation practice app. This is the first public release.


What's included

Alex, your AI conversation partner

A zero-anxiety English practice experience powered by large language models. Alex keeps conversations natural and encouraging — no red pens, no grammar lectures mid-sentence.

Multi-model support

Switch between providers without changing your workflow:

  • Anthropic Claude (claude-haiku-4-5)
  • DeepSeek (deepseek-chat)
  • Volcengine / Doubao (doubao-1-5-pro-32k)
  • Zhipu AI (glm-4-flash)

Clean chat UI

A focused, distraction-free interface to keep you in the conversation.

"Tip of the Day"

Each session ends with a practical English tip from Alex — something small you can use right away.
