About Tech Ale

Tech Ale OÜ — the company behind Lingo Copilot

Tech Ale OÜ is a technology company based in Tallinn, Estonia. We design and build AI-powered language exam coaching that turns slow, expensive test preparation into something anyone can do from their browser.

Who we are

We are a small, product-focused company that applies modern artificial intelligence to one specific problem: high-stakes language exams. Rather than build AI for its own sake, we ship tools that produce a concrete result — a passing score — for the people who use them.

Tech Ale is a registered Estonian company and operates entirely online, serving test takers worldwide.

Our mission

To use technology — especially AI — to make expert-level language coaching accessible to everyone. Passing IELTS Speaking or the NAATI CCL test can decide a visa, a university place or a career, and we think the practice that gets you there should be available at any hour, in any timezone, at a fraction of the cost of a private tutor.

What we build

Lingo Copilot Speaking

An AI IELTS Speaking coach. Test takers practise against a real-time AI examiner and receive an estimated band score broken down by the four official IELTS criteria.

How we build AI you can check

An exam score decides real outcomes, so we are deliberate about what our AI does and does not claim.

We score against published criteria, not a private rubric

Lingo Copilot Speaking reports against the four official IELTS Speaking criteria — Fluency & Coherence, Lexical Resource, Grammatical Range & Accuracy, and Pronunciation. Lingo Copilot CCL marks against NAATI's accuracy error categories: omissions, additions and distortions. Both are scales you can look up and check our reasoning against.

Every score comes with its evidence

A number on its own teaches nothing. Our products show the specific words, segments and grammar that moved the score — word-by-word pronunciation marking in Speaking, and segment-level error flags in CCL — so you can act on the feedback rather than simply receive it.

We are explicit about the limits

AI scores are practice estimates. Only IELTS and NAATI can issue an official result, and we say so in the product rather than implying our estimate is the real thing. AI-generated feedback can contain errors, and we encourage test takers to verify anything that matters against the official exam guidance.

Our values

Innovation

We use cutting-edge AI to deliver what used to require examiners and expensive tutoring.

Accessibility

Our products are available 24/7, anywhere in the world, on any device with a browser.

Results

Every session is scored against the exam's own published criteria, so progress is measured rather than guessed.

Is Lingo Copilot related to Microsoft Copilot?

No. Lingo Copilot is an independent product family built by Tech Ale OÜ and has no connection to Microsoft Copilot, GitHub Copilot, or the LINGO optimisation language. The name refers to the product acting as a copilot for language exam practice.

Can an AI give me an official IELTS or NAATI result?

No, and we do not claim otherwise. Only IELTS and NAATI can issue official results. Lingo Copilot produces practice estimates scored against the same published criteria the real exams use, so you can see where marks are being lost and track improvement between now and test day.
