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 [email protected] and I’d be happy to talk!
How many languages max can be used simultaneously in a meeting with real time translation? Is that 20+ languages?
Love the mission and the demo! Congratulations on the launch @harryyongheelee !
I recommend Cuckoo – a real breakthrough for international teams! This real-time AI translator is ideal for global sales, marketing, and support. Cuckoo helps companies like Snowflake and PagerDuty connect with customers around the world on Zoom, even in the most technical discussions. We will also launch soon, we hope for your support too!! Good luck to you!
Great product 💪 We've seen many translator product, but Cuckoo is unbelievable. Seriously, feels like it’s translating straight into my native tongue - smooth, natural, and crazy fast. Cuckoo just set a new standard. 🚀🔥
it's cool but i think there are better, more mature alternatives. Not groundbreaking
Efficient solution for multilingual meetings! Cuckoo eliminates language barriers and saves time. Global teams need this!
@harryyongheelee 🎉 Huge congrats on the PH launch, Yong Hee and team Cuckoo! 🚀 Love how you’re solving a real pain point for global teams—especially the struggle with technical jargon getting lost in translation. The "contextualize with docs" feature is genius for accuracy (Snowflake/PagerDuty use cases speak volumes!). 🔥 Quick suggestion: Have you considered adding a "custom glossary" for company-specific terms? Could be a game-changer for niche industries! 🙌 P.S. As a remote team lead, I’d love to test Cuckoo in our multilingual sprint reviews—any plans for Slack/Miro integrations? 👀
Congratulations to the Cuckoo team on your launch! Having real-time translation, live transcripts, and AI-generated meeting notes all in one place makes Cuckoo a must-have tool for international collaboration. a question: How does Cuckoo handle industry-specific jargon and technical terms to ensure translations remain accurate and contextually relevant?
This is a game changer for teams considering global expansion. Let's break down the language barriers! Congrats on the launch !🎉
Tried Cuckoo on my own to test its real-time translation, and it worked surprisingly well. The speech recognition was smooth, and the translations felt natural. Curious to see how it performs in an actual conversation!
Huge congratulations on the launch! The ability to customize translations with pitch decks and product manuals is a game-changer. Context-aware AI ensures clarity in technical discussions and sales calls. What’s been the most exciting use case so far?
Breaking language barriers in real-time is no small feat. Cuckoo is providing a seamless way for teams to collaborate globally without relying on interpreters. Wishing you all the success with this launch!
Breaking the barrier for hiring the best talent not just the one you can communicate with! Tools like this is definitely the future congrats on such an awesome product and launch!
Yo this is actually genius. Using this on calls and speaking your native language / the language you're most comfortable with makes everyone feel comfortable and heard – awesome job!! 🥳
Congratulations on your Product Hunt launch! What you're building at Cuckoo addresses a real pain point for global teams. The ability to contextualize translations with relevant documents is particularly clever - that solves the exact problem of technical terminology getting lost in translation. It's impressive to see companies like Snowflake and PagerDuty already using your solution. The meeting notes feature that works across 20+ languages is a brilliant addition that completes the workflow. As someone who's experienced the awkwardness of bilingual meetings firsthand, I can see how Cuckoo could transform global business communication. Looking forward to seeing how you continue to evolve the product!
