Hey PH! Co-founder of Cuckoo here 🐦
It’s been a long-time dream to post our launch here, and I’m super excited to finally share what we’ve been working at Cuckoo over the past few months!
Gunwoo and I started building Cuckoo in Seoul after seeing firsthand how language remains a significant barrier for global teams—especially during highly technical meetings. Meetings with interpreters are often twice as long, and critical details can get lost in translation especially when they don't understand your product your tech. When bilingual colleagues step in as interpreters, they’re pulled away from their core roles.
At Cuckoo, we’re addressing this issue with a real-time AI translator designed specifically for global sales, marketing, and support. Our customers—Snowflake, PagerDuty, Weights & Biases, and ClickHouse—are already using Cuckoo to break down language barriers as they expand globally. We’ve also seen how early-stage AI startups, including our fellow YC batchmates, are going global from Day 1.
Here’s how Cuckoo works:
(1) Cuckoo works by joining your online meetings as a bot. (It also works in person).
(2) You can contextualize translations by uploading relevant documents like pitch decks or product manuals.
(3) You can easily share the live transcript with your customers and teammates with a link, allowing them to speak in the languages that they are most comfortable with.
Cuckoo also provides you with AI-generated meeting notes, so you can follow up on your conversations in 20+ languages.
We have a free trial—give it a try in your next meeting! We’d love your feedback. For those who are constantly involved in these global meetings, feel free to reach out to me personally at [email protected] and I’d be happy to talk!

Who hunted Cuckoo?
Cuckoo was hunted by Garry Tan. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
