Cuckoo is a real-time AI translation and interpretation tool for teams working across languages. It captures speech during meetings and events, then provides translations and live transcripts so participants can follow the conversation in selected languages. Teams can add keywords and internal documents to help Cuckoo account for technical terminology and meeting context. It supports cross-language communication for sales, marketing, support, internal collaboration, and multilingual events. Cuckoo works with Zoom, Google Meet, Slack, and Microsoft Teams, and is also available on mobile and desktop. Its purpose is to let participants speak naturally while colleagues or customers follow along in another language. ## What can Cuckoo do? ### Live speech translation Cuckoo translates spoken conversation into selected languages as a meeting or event proceeds, helping participants follow without waiting for a separate translated recap. ### Live transcripts for attendees Participants can access live transcripts and translations on their own devices. In the W&B meetup example, attendees followed along through a shared QR code. ### Meeting context from files and keywords Teams can provide documents and key terms before a conversation. Cuckoo uses this material to learn technical details and recognize specialized terminology, such as RAG or product names. ### Multilingual conversation handling The service can detect and interpret languages spoken during a meeting, with support listed for more than 20 languages. ### Meeting and collaboration platform access Cuckoo works inside Zoom, Google Meet, Slack, and Microsoft Teams, and can be used on mobile or desktop. ### Team vocabulary management Team plans include organization-wide dictionaries, while Professional includes a personal dictionary, supporting consistent terminology across conversations. ## Use Cases ### Global sales and customer support Sales, marketing, and support professionals can speak with customers across regions while participants follow the discussion in their selected languages. ### Technical developer meetups Event organizers can brief Cuckoo with technical terms, then let speakers present naturally while attendees read live translations and transcripts. W&B used it for meetups in Seoul and Tokyo. ### Cross-regional team meetings Teams in different markets can use real-time interpretation for recurring syncs and collaboration without requiring everyone to work in one language. ### Product and program planning across markets Regional product managers and program teams can discuss local requirements, coordinate launches, and share operational context. KKday describes using Cuckoo in leadership and cross-functional discussions across JAPAC. ### Multilingual online and offline events Organizations can use Cuckoo for meetings as well as in-person events, including talks and larger conferences; W&B says it plans to use the service for an APAC conference. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### Which languages does Cuckoo support?
