Gleam is the best way to learn and practice social skills around dating, small talk, negotiation, storytelling and more. Improve your social fluency and confidence with just 5 mins of practice a day.
We built Gleam because we believe that social skills are the key to a fulfilling life: confidence, career success, meaningful relationships – and yet, they’re not something that are typically taught in school. Instead, society throws us into the “deep end,” expecting us to figure everything out ourselves.
Growing up shy and introverted, it was a long and arduous journey for me to become who I am today. Improving my social life has been the best investment I made, but it was confusing, lonely, and filled with trial and error.
We believe social skills are no different from learning any other skill and should be just as accessible as learning piano or coding. That's why Gleam exists: to be the Duolingo for social skills—making it fun, approachable, and stigma-free to build confidence and social competence. We’ll never replace real-life connection or in-person experiences, but we can give you the tools to show up more confidently when it matters most.
As part of a launch special, Gleam will be free to use for the next 48 hours.
We’re excited for you to try out what we’ve built, and to hear your feedback!
This is so awesome - cracked team and epic app 🔥!! Congrats on the launch! 🎉
“Gleam 2 looks incredibly powerful love how it arms users with comprehensive analytics and campaign tools in one sleek dashboard.
Big congrats on launching! 🎉 Just upvoted and excited to see how this evolves 🙌
What a great app! I can see it being incorpated into everyone's daily routines. Excellent founding team too! 👏
The Duolingo for social skills? This quietly useful app has a real human vibe for Xiaohongshu. Redverse can help beam its signal. 📡
I’ve often felt that as people spend more time in the digital world, their social skills seem to be declining. With the way we consume information—mostly filtered through our own biases—it feels like people are becoming even more convinced that they’re always right. That’s probably why social skills are taking a hit. This kind of service is such a great idea. Plans for launching on android?
Really cool. One great use case could be helping people improve their interview skills. A lot of folks are capable but struggle to communicate well under pressure. Definitely see potential for the other use cases too!
This is such a fresh idea . Social fluency definitely needs its Duolingo. The 5-min-a-day format makes it feel super doable too
Do you plan to add real-time scenarios or live feedback options? Would be amazing to practice like you're in a convo, not just tapping answers.
I think this could become really powerful, especially if it incorporates teachings from books such as Dale Carnegie's book, How to Win Friends and Influence People.
gamifying how-to-be-a-better-person is awesome ✨ great work @Gleam team
CLUTCH launch for us socially-awkward humans! 🙌
The 'how to keep a conversation alive' drills speak to my soul – no more nervously mentioning the weather like a 19th-century farmer. 😅
That flirting module? 10/10. Finally practicing 'Hey, do you have a name or can I call you mine?' without actual emotional damage.
Quick Q: Will Android users get to join the social skills revolution soon? Either way, congrats on an amazing launch! 🚀
Gleam looks like a fresh way to build social skills without feeling overwhelmed. The short daily practice approach seems perfect for busy people wanting to improve confidence. I’ll definitely give it a try when I get a chance. Congrats on the launch 🚀
