Speaking improvement is almost entirely a function of frequency. Two hours of practice per month will not produce the same results as 15 minutes every day. The challenge is not finding the time for an intensive session, it is building a speaking habit that is consistent and sustainable across months.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR
Establish a minimum commitment
Decide on the minimum you will do every day and make it small enough to be achievable even on your worst day. Five minutes of speaking out loud is a better minimum than 30 minutes, because you will actually do it every day.
Attach it to an existing habit
Link your speaking practice to something you already do reliably: morning coffee, commute, lunchtime walk. Habit stacking uses existing routines as anchors and removes the friction of finding a practice time.
Track your streak
Log each day you practise. A visual streak provides accountability and makes missing a day more viscerally uncomfortable than the abstract knowledge that consistency matters.
TLDR:Lucy is the lowest-friction daily speaking habit available. Open the app, speak for 10 minutes, close it. Your session is logged in Lucy's memory and each day builds on the last. No booking, no scheduling, no audience required.

Repeating the same practice content every day produces diminishing returns quickly. Vary what you speak about: some days presentations, some days open conversation, some days reading aloud, some days specific skill work.
