What each tool does
Brainly is a well-known homework help platform. Students ask questions from their school subjects and receive answers and explanations, drawing on a large student community along with AI support. It is aimed at school-age learners who get stuck on assignments.
Speak is an AI language learning app that focuses on getting you to talk. Lessons teach phrases native speakers use, you practise them until they feel natural, and then you use them in AI-powered conversations. The curriculum is designed by experts and personalised by AI, with languages including English, Korean, Japanese, French, Spanish, Italian and Chinese.

Which should you choose?
Choose Brainly if you are a school student who wants help understanding homework questions in different subjects, and you want to start for free.
Choose Speak if you want to become more confident speaking English or another offered language. Try the free start before committing, since the subscription will likely be charged in USD by card.
Can you use both?
Yes. They do not overlap, so a student could use Brainly for homework and Speak to practise spoken language skills.
