Company mission
To eliminate language barriers so that businesses can thrive across cultures and geographies.
Our take
According to Unbabel, offering multilingual support is essential for building trust and loyalty among customers. Unbabel is an AI-powered language operations platform that helps customer service teams easily interact with international clients.
Unbabel's proprietary technology combines AI with human expertise in order to allow agents to respond almost instantly to international clients, in their native language. What's more, businesses using its service increase their average CSAT, CES and NPS scores and reduce their customer support costs since they don't have to hire expensive native-speaking agents for translating customer service messages.
Unbabel will be investing in international expansion in the US, Europe & Asia and in developing the capabilities of its AI, including founding an AI research lab in Pittsburg. The company counts Facebook, Panasonic, Booking.com, Logitech, Udemy and Microsoft among its clients.
