The Problem

Translation agencies run on email.
That's the problem.

One operations person. Hours per day reading emails, assigning translators, chasing updates, forwarding QA reports, generating invoices. Every project manually coordinated. Every status check a new email thread.

  • Invoices generated and delivered on completion
  • Real-time dashboard for every active job
The Pipeline

14 stages. Fully automated.

Every stage triggers automatically on state change. No polling, no timers — event-driven from intake to invoice.

Client Email Intake

Stage 1

AI reads incoming client emails, classifies project type, and parses Excel/PDF attachments to extract word counts automatically.

AI Classification

Stage 2

GPT-4o classifies document type, language pair, urgency, and project metadata — creating a structured project record.

Project Created

Stage 3

A complete project record is created with all extracted data — word count, client, document type, deadline window.

Translator Offer

Stage 4

Korean-language job offers sent to translators in priority order. Each offer includes scope, rate, and deadline.

Accept / Decline Detection

Stage 5

Inbox is polled every 2 minutes. On decline or timeout, the system automatically advances to the next translator.

Client Notified

Stage 6

Client receives confirmation with project ID and assigned translator — all emails reviewed by ops manager before sending.

Deadline Tracking

Stage 7

Active deadline monitoring across all concurrent projects. Reminder sent to translator 1 hour before due time.

Completion Detection

Stage 8

Translator delivery is detected automatically. Project advances to QA stage with no manual intervention.

QA Management

Stage 9

Client QA feedback emails are detected, parsed, and routed back to the translator with attachments. Revisions tracked.

Invoice Generation

Stage 10

Invoice automatically generated and delivered when the project completes — based on confirmed word count and rate.

Done

Stage 11

Project archived with full audit trail — every status change timestamped with the triggering function.

Features

Built for scale, not for demos.

Every feature below runs in production at Liontalk, handling real AWS and enterprise client workflows daily.

GPT-4o Classification

Reads and classifies every incoming client email. Extracts project metadata, document type, and word counts from attachments — no manual data entry.

Intelligent Assignment

Sends translator offers in priority order, handles accept/decline via inbox monitoring, and auto-advances on no response. Fully hands-off.

Human-in-the-Loop

Every client-facing email is held for ops manager review before sending. Full control without the coordination overhead.

Real-Time Dashboard

Live view of all active jobs — status, assigned translator, hours in current stage, and stuck job alerts. No more status-check emails.

Concurrency Control

ETag-based optimistic locking prevents duplicate emails on concurrent function invocations. Zero duplicate sends, zero lost replies.

Event-Driven Architecture

Each pipeline stage triggers automatically on state change. Scales to any volume without adding headcount.

Who It's For

Built for agencies
that want to scale.

  • Translation agencies managing 10+ projects per week
  • Operations teams spending hours daily on email coordination
  • Agencies looking to grow without proportionally growing headcount
  • Agencies serving enterprise clients with tight deadlines
