Cuckoo is a real-time AI translator for global sales, marketing, and support. Cuckoo helps companies like Snowflake and PagerDuty talk to their global customers in Zoom in-person meetings, even in the most technical discussions.

Hey PH! Co-founder of Cuckoo here 🐦 It’s been a long-time dream to post our launch here, and I’m super excited to finally share what we’ve been working at Cuckoo over the past few months! Gunwoo and I started building Cuckoo in Seoul after seeing firsthand how language remains a significant barrier for global teams—especially during highly technical meetings. Meetings with interpreters are often twice as long, and critical details can get lost in translation especially when they don't understand your product your tech. When bilingual colleagues step in as interpreters, they’re pulled away from their core roles. At Cuckoo, we’re addressing this issue with a real-time AI translator designed specifically for global sales, marketing, and support. Our customers—Snowflake, PagerDuty, Weights & Biases, and ClickHouse—are already using Cuckoo to break down language barriers as they expand globally. We’ve also seen how early-stage AI startups, including our fellow YC batchmates, are going global from Day 1. Here’s how Cuckoo works: (1) Cuckoo works by joining your online meetings as a bot. (It also works in person). (2) You can contextualize translations by uploading relevant documents like pitch decks or product manuals. (3) You can easily share the live transcript with your customers and teammates with a link, allowing them to speak in the languages that they are most comfortable with. Cuckoo also provides you with AI-generated meeting notes, so you can follow up on your conversations in 20+ languages. We have a free trial—give it a try in your next meeting! We’d love your feedback. For those who are constantly involved in these global meetings, feel free to reach out to me personally at yonghee@cuckoo.so and I’d be happy to talk!

@harryyongheelee The demo looks great! I’ll give it a try and share my feedback. Congrats on the launch—keep up the great work!

@masump First, we use a mixture of large language models and constantly update the phrases as we get the speech data. There's also a part where our users upload their documents (pitch deck, support docs, etc.) and enter keywords (company name, product names, customer names, etc.) to further optimize the translations for their conversations.

@jaythesong Thanks Jay❣️ Please give it a try and let me know how it goes!
