AI translation in San Jose
Built and supported here – the way a San Jose business would actually use it.
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.
Most of our San Jose engagements start the same way: a 20-minute call where the owner describes a workflow we've heard before in shape but never in detail. AI translation is then designed against the detail, not the shape.
- 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

Why San Jose businesses choose this
San Jose sits in the middle of Silicon Valley, where the AI bar is set by the companies inventing it – AI here has to be genuinely production-grade, not a wrapper on a public API.
Why San Jose businesses are a fit for this.
The commercial and cultural centre of Silicon Valley, surrounded by the companies that build the models everyone else uses. San Jose businesses expect AI built with real engineering discipline, because they can tell when it isn't.
We work with teams across San Jose: Downtown San Jose · Santana Row · Willow Glen · North San Jose · Almaden Valley · Berryessa.
How we build AI translation for a San Jose team
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for your San Jose business, so value lands before the build is finished. Every engagement starts with a short call and a paid discovery if the brief needs one.
AI multilingual + te reo.
The outcome for San Jose teams
What changes for San Jose teams after this lands: the work that used to need a person stays done, the work that needs a person gets done with their attention undivided. Expanded customer reach by 22% with multilingual support live.

AI translation in San Jose – common questions
How long does AI translation take to ship for San Jose businesses?
We aim for a working pilot inside 4-6 weeks – narrow scope, real San Jose businesses data, measurable outcome. From there it's another 6-8 weeks of hardening before you'd consider it production. Full rollouts (multiple sites, multiple teams) typically land in 3-4 months.
How do you price AI translation engagements?
Fixed-scope pilots first, then either project pricing or a small monthly retainer for the ongoing work. No long lock-ins, no 18-month black-box deals. Most San Jose businesses are surprised how small the first cheque is.
Can you walk us through a comparable build?
Yes – on the first call we'll pick the closest engagement we've shipped to what you're describing and walk through the outcome, the headcount and the time it took. Expanded customer reach by 22% with multilingual support live.
Who owns the code and the model setup?
You do, on delivery. We deploy AI translation into your own cloud account where possible, with the model setup, prompts, evals and integration code all checked into a repo you own. Claude sits in your account too – we don't operate it from ours.
