Lilt

Lilt is an AI-powered enterprise translation platform founded in 2015. The company's core technology is its Contextual AI Engine, which uses in-context learning and deep learning neural networks to provide predictive translation suggestions that improve over time. Lilt's platform combines this AI engine with human translators to deliver high-quality, efficient translations for marketing, legal, product, and other enterprise content. The system allows translators to accept, modify or reject AI-generated translations, enabling a human-in-the-loop approach that is 3-5x faster than traditional methods while reducing costs by up to 50%. As of March 2023, Lilt's Contextual AI Engine outperformed both Google Translate and GPT-4 on accuracy for many enterprise use cases. The company's platform supports around 40 languages and includes features like custom term bases, style guides, and integrations with business systems like Slack, WordPress, and Salesforce. In December 2023, Lilt expanded its capabilities to include multimodal translation of images, audio, PDFs and video files directly within its platform.
