Our Story
Our founders Spence and John met at Google working on Google Translate. As researchers at Stanford and Berkeley they both worked on language technology to make information accessible to everyone. While together at Google they were amazed to learn that Google Translate wasnt used for enterprise products and services inside the quality just wasnt there. So they set out to build something better. LILT was born.
LILT has been a machine learning company since its founding in 2015. At the time machine translation didnt meet the quality standard for enterprise translations so LILT assembled a cutting-edge research team tasked with closing that gap. While meeting customer demand for translation services LILT has prioritized investments in Large Language Models human-in-the-loop systems and now agentic AI.
With AI innovation accelerating and enterprise demand growing the next phase of LILTs journey is just beginning.
