Company profile
researched Aug 2026BeConfident is a conversational English-practice platform aimed at Portuguese-speaking learners. Its stated premise is that speaking English with confidence comes from daily practice rather than talent, and the product is built around turning short, routine practice sessions into measurable progress on the learner's own schedule.
The service combines an app with a WhatsApp integration, so learners can practise through real-time voice calls or real-time messaging in either channel. In-session tooling shown by the company includes translation, hints and tips, repeat and pause controls, and a "help" option, with the AI tutor prompting learners through guided exercises such as retelling a story using a specific verb tense. The company also builds digital versions of recognised professionals so that learners practise English while being exposed to those individuals' subject-matter knowledge; the figures presented include Amanda Antunes (@prefiroviajar), entrepreneur Brian Requarth, academic and investor Guilherme Lichand, founder and marketing executive Gina Gotthilf, and founder and investor Rodrigo Terron.
Onboarding is positioned as a three-step free trial: the user is directed from the website to WhatsApp, follows the initial instructions sent by the AI, and records an audio message in English to receive feedback.
