The version of AI translation that works for a Los Angeles business is rarely the version a national vendor would sell you. We build the one that fits how your team actually operates - usually with fewer parts than the off-the-shelf pitch.
AI multilingual + te reo, built for businesses operating in Los Angeles.
Our goal is to give Los Angeles businesses a three-day weekend, so people can spend more time with their families and the people they love :)
What AI translation actually does
Reach more of Aotearoa. AI translation for te reo Māori, Samoan, Tongan, Mandarin, Hindi, and more - with cultural nuance, not Google-Translate stiffness.
- 01 Te reo Māori with macron support and reviewed terminology
- 02 Voice translation for support calls in real time
- 03 Glossary-locked terms so brand language stays consistent
- 04 Human-reviewer workflow for high-stakes content
Built on: Claude DeepL ElevenLabs Vercel
What you actually get
Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. This is what is in the box.
- A working pilot, in productionNot a prototype on someone's laptop. The first slice of AI translation runs against real work within weeks.
- Your data stays yoursIt runs on your accounts and your tools. If we part ways you keep the system and everything in it.
- The workflow mapped before codeWe write down what good looks like for Los Angeles businesses first, so nobody is guessing at handover.
- Support after it landsThe people who built it stay reachable when the business changes shape around it.
How AI translation compares
The two things most businesses do instead, and where each one runs out.
| Hiring for it | An off-the-shelf tool | Kiwi Dynamics | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fit to how you work | Fits perfectly, costs a salary | You bend your process to suit the tool | Built around the workflow you already run |
| Time to something useful | Immediate, and permanent | Quick to switch on, slow to make fit | A working slice in weeks, then hardened |
| Who owns the data | You do | The vendor, on the vendor's terms | You do, in your own accounts |
| When it breaks | That person sorts it, if they are in | A support queue and a ticket number | The people who built it |
| What it costs | A salary, every year, forever | Per seat, forever, used or not | Scoped and quoted up front |
Where Los Angeles operators actually lose hours.
- LA runs on entertainment, production and a sprawling small business economy across a huge metro area - AI here has to work for a one-location shop and a studio with the same reliability.
- Film and TV production, a massive creative freelance economy, and small businesses spread across a metro area bigger than most countries. LA teams want AI that handles the admin so they can stay on the thing that actually makes money.
We work with teams across Los Angeles: Downtown LA · Hollywood · Santa Monica · Culver City · Burbank · Venice.
Talk to us about this →How we build AI translation for a Los Angeles team.
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for your Los Angeles business, so value lands before the build is finished. AI multilingual + te reo.
Talk to usHow the work runs
- Find the one workflowWe look for the job costing Los Angeles businesses the most hours or the most leads, and deliberately ignore the rest for now.
- Ship a working sliceA narrow version goes into production in weeks, against real work, so the value shows up before the build is finished.
- Prove it, then widenWe measure it against what the work cost before. If it does not pay for itself, we say so rather than scaling it.
- Harden and hand overLogging, fallbacks and a real handover, so it keeps running when we are not in the room.

FAQ
What's a typical engagement length for Los Angeles businesses?
Six to twelve weeks for the build, then a short managed-services month while the system goes from "shipped" to "owned by your team". After that you keep us on retainer if you want, or take it from there yourself.
Do you do hourly billing or fixed price?
Fixed price for the pilot, every time. After that it's your call - fixed price per milestone or a small monthly retainer for ongoing iteration. We don't run open-ended T&M because it disincentivises us from finishing.
What's the realistic outcome for Los Angeles businesses?
Expanded customer reach by 22% with multilingual support live. We don't promise tenfold lifts because we don't see them outside of marketing decks.
Can you work with our existing systems?
Yes. The default AI translation stack we reach for is Claude, DeepL, ElevenLabs, Vercel, but we'll bend it around whatever you already run - Xero, HubSpot, Shopify, Cin7, your own in-house apps. The discovery week maps every data source before any build starts.
