Swiss AI provider with a focus on translation, serving over 1,500 companies and 500,000 active users across Europe.

Motivation

We want to show that you don’t need to outspend the US giants to outsmart them. By combining Swiss expertise in language and AI engineering, we’ve built a translation system that combines the speed of AI with the reliability of human experts to solve a massive, resource-intensive operational hurdle for businesses end to end.

Samuel Läubli
Chief Executive Officer

Businesses worldwide spend USD 31.7 bn on translation every year, whether that's fully AI-driven or reviewed by professionals. While AI tools keep getting better, a fundamental issue remains: no non-human system will ever be able to certify correctness. Professional translators, on the other hand, are often simply too slow and expensive. The result for most businesses: outsourced processes with 17 different vendors, uncertain data protection, manual corrections and no continuous adaptation of the underlying language models to their use case.

Launched in February 2025 at supertext.com, our AI translator is based on enterprise-grade, sovereign LLMs hosted on our Swiss servers or on infrastructure of the customer's choice. We seamlessly integrate more than 3,000 experienced human linguists: our Verification feature lets users have important translations reviewed by professionals within 8 minutes while tailoring their custom translation model to their use case in the process. This makes the system more precise every day, reducing the need for professional oversight over time.

Our enterprise clients see an up to 90% increase in ready-to-publish AI output, 93% faster turnaround for professionally verified translations and a 64% reduction in overall translation spend. These gains aren't theoretical, but are in production today at 1,500 businesses including Swiss Life, AXA and SBB – even for Swiss German and Romansh.
