About Puente AI

Built to break
every language barrier.

Puente AI means "bridge" in Spanish. We built it because language barriers aren't just inconvenient — they break trust, slow care, and cost people real things.

Our story

Houston is the most linguistically diverse city in America. Walk into a Harris Health clinic, a school, a construction site, or a restaurant and you'll hear dozens of languages within an hour. Yet the tools for real-time conversation translation were either clunky, subscription-locked, or just didn't work well enough for high-stakes moments.

We wanted translation that works like a real conversation — both people speaking naturally, each hearing their own language, with the emotional texture intact. Not a tool that interrupts the moment — one that disappears into it.

Puente AI started quietly. No press release. We put it in front of real people in real situations — clinics, job sites, schools — and built from what we heard.

"Language barriers aren't just about words — they're about connection. A doctor explaining a diagnosis. A parent calming a scared child. A business conversation where trust is everything."

How it works

Six modes. Every situation.

Real-time AI voice translation that fits the conversation — whether you're across a table, across a job site, or across the world.

Tabletop Mode

Two people, two languages, one device flat on the table. Speak naturally — each person hears their own language.

Earbud Mode

Each person uses their own phone with earbuds. Maximum privacy — ideal for clinics and legal settings.

Remote Mode

Share a 6-digit code. Connect with anyone, anywhere, in real time — no app download required on their end.

Group Mode

Up to 8 participants, each hearing their own language. Built for team briefings, classrooms, and multilingual events.

Live Captions

Real-time subtitles in any language. For presentations, noisy environments, and hearing accessibility.

Offline Mode

8 languages on-device via Whisper AI. Works without internet — basements, remote sites, anywhere.

No compromise.

We don't know who you are, and we don't want to. Conversation history lives only on your device.
