    A fast-growing translation technology company was hitting scalability limits. Its “Uber for Translators” model still relied heavily on human interpreters—driving up costs and slowing real-time communication. With over 200 languages supported, the company needed a breakthrough to stay competitive.

    A5E Consulting partnered with the client to reimagine its translation platform using generative AI. By combining LLM-based translation with optional human oversight, the team built a hybrid system capable of delivering 95%+ accuracy at a fraction of the cost. Legacy issues—like handling gender nuance, cultural context, and fragmented inputs—were addressed through custom model tuning and a centralized “Model Context Protocol.”

    The result was nothing short of amazing. What previously cost $1.50/min now became a flat monthly fee under $100. Customers could engage in multilingual conversations, access AI-based proofreading, and rely on seamless real-time interpretation across devices—all through a simple QR-based interface.

    Key Outcomes:

    • 95%+ translation accuracy
    • 400ms average response time (60%+ faster)
    • 60%+ reduction in customer costs
    • Real-time access to 200+ languages
