LILT (Production)

LILT builds AI-powered translation and localization technology for enterprises and government agencies. Founded in 2015 by Spence Green and John DeNero, both former Google Translate researchers, the company combines neural machine translation with human-in-the-loop expertise: specialized linguists work alongside the models, and their corrections feed continuous model improvement. The approach draws on natural language processing and human-in-the-loop machine learning, and rests on patented neural machine translation technology.

The company's Contextual AI Platform supports more than 100 languages and is used by global enterprises, government agencies and AI/ML builders to scale multilingual content production while maintaining brand and quality standards. Alongside the platform, LILT delivers translation and localization services through a network of specialist linguists spanning more than 40 domains, from government and defense to retail and apparel.

Customers typically see cost reductions of 40-50% and content delivery timelines some 60% faster than traditional methods. Named clients include Intel, Canva, ASICS and the U.S. Department of Defense. LILT is backed by Sequoia, Intel Capital and Redpoint Ventures, and states a mission of making information accessible regardless of language.
