Timekettle launched PolyPal, a new AI live translation platform, on September 8, 2026. The platform delivers real-time multilingual communication for meetings, classrooms, phone calls, and online events, targeting a gap that customer support teams know well: the high cost and limited scale of human interpretation.
How PolyPal works across channels
PolyPal supports more than 100 languages and accents with up to 98% accuracy and millisecond-level latency. Its multi-model AI engine combines ChatGPT, DeepSeek, and proprietary models tuned for terminology in finance, law, medicine, academia, and business. Users can build personalized glossaries so specialized language stays consistent across interactions.
Floating bilingual subtitles overlay directly on Zoom, Teams, YouTube, TikTok, Twitch, and other platforms. The tool also handles two-way international phone-call translation. After a session, AI-generated summaries and mind maps can turn an hour-long discussion into structured takeaways in seconds. Localized processing, encryption, and local file storage are designed to protect sensitive conversations.
Where it fits in daily operations
The platform's use cases span several functions. International sales teams can clarify proposals and negotiate with overseas partners. Universities can stream lectures with bilingual captions. PolyPal's Large Event mode supports projected subtitles in up to five languages for audiences of up to 2,000. Trainers, content creators, and cross-border businesses can also use it to reach multilingual audiences without switching between separate tools.
For customer support teams, the implications are direct. A support agent handling a ticket from a non-native speaker can follow the conversation in real time, reduce misunderstandings, and resolve issues faster. The glossary feature helps maintain accurate terminology for product names, policies, and technical steps across languages.
Industry recognition and early adoption
PolyPal served as the exclusive simultaneous interpretation partner for the 2025 BAAI Conference in Beijing, providing multilingual support for academic presentations and international discussions. It also received a NextWorld 2025 Annual Award in the Smart Innovation category.
Why this matters for customer support professionals
Language barriers in support queues add handling time and increase the risk of errors. PolyPal's combination of real-time translation, bilingual subtitles, and terminology management can reduce those frictions without requiring agents to switch apps or wait for a human interpreter. For teams exploring how AI fits into their workflows, AI for Customer Support Courses offer practical training on tools like this. Professionals who want deeper expertise in the underlying technology can also look at AI Translation Courses & Certifications.
