We’re excited to introduce the latest addition to Cuckoo—AI Video Localization, built for global marketing and go-to-market teams operating across borders.

Over the past 6 months, our real-time AI translator has helped companies like Snowflake, Weights & Biases, and members of the Magnificent 7 break through language barriers in live events and meetings. But we kept hearing about the same pain point: a campaign gap between the product team at HQ and regional marketing teams.

Why videos?

While Cuckoo was originally built for real-time conversations—optimizing the balance between accuracy and latency—we saw more and more teams using it for pre-recorded content. For regional marketing teams, this was a workaround to shorten the typical 3–4 week delay between HQ and regional launches.

Teams were manually transcribing English videos, timestamping subtitles, and sending them off for translation—slowing campaigns and creating bottlenecks. Cuckoo’s live translator became a last resort to speed things up. Whether it was a product launch, webinar, or keynote, the pain was the same.

We built Cuckoo for Videos to fix that.

Introducing Cuckoo for Videos

Cuckoo for Videos removes the friction. Cuckoo for Videos follows our core principles: simple, multilingual, and context-aware. Cuckoo for Videos follows our core principles: simple, multilingual, and context-aware.

Our AI-powered localization suite lets you:

• Upload high-resolution, long-form content like webinars and conferences

• Instantly generate clean transcripts and multilingual subtitles

• Edit translations with human-in-the-loop workflows

• Download high-quality videos with captions or burned-in subtitles—ready for global distribution in minutes

We take care of grammar checks, filler word removal, and redundant question cleanup automatically. Sentences are split for natural readability based on context, not just punctuation or silence. And with our AI copilot, you can get alternative translations, apply previous corrections automatically, and ensure consistent terminology using your organization’s keywords and documents.

We support 20+ languages today, with more on the way. Soon, we’ll also integrate additional context sources, including external links and knowledge bases.

Powering the world's leading GTM teams

Weights & Biases started using Cuckoo for community events, then for their annual conference, internal team syncs, and customer meetings. Now, they’re localizing their content in Korean and Japanese with Cuckoo for Videos, all driven by a single marketer on their APAC team. Snowflake has followed a similar path.

We’ve also seen emerging use cases—like Daedong, an AI-enhanced tracking company—that use Cuckoo to localize onboarding and training materials for global teams.

What's next?

Cuckoo was built to help global teams operate as one, working efficiently without friction. Our new AI Video Localization suite enables teams to close the gap between HQ content production and regional localization drastically faster.

The current version of Cuckoo for Videos is just the start. We’re building features for better team collaboration, streamlined review workflows, smarter context pulled from external sources, and publishing tools that make distributing localized content as easy as creating it.

If you’re on a marketing, product, or customer success team with a global audience, we’d love for you to try it out. Book a demo to localize your first video—I’ll personally walk you through the feature with your first video on us.
