In this episode of The Future of BizTech, host JC Granger chats with Tim Hunt, CEO and co-founder of Addavox, a company on a mission to eliminate language barriers in global communication. From free real-time translated subtitles to soon-to-launch AI voice cloning across 70+ languages, Addavox is redefining what video conferencing can do for international teams, creators, and enterprises alike.
Tim shares how his journey—from missionary linguist to AI architect—led to building one of the most powerful multilingual video tools on the market. He dives into the 12 proprietary AIs powering Addavox’s platform, why fully automated dubbing still falls short, and how combining human-in-the-loop workflows with deep tech is the key to authentic cross-language content.
The conversation also explores the roadblocks of bootstrapping a deep tech startup, the future of real-time global collaboration, and how Addavox is poised to disrupt everything from corporate meetings to Hollywood dubbing workflows. If you're into generative AI, localization tech, or the future of cross-border communication, this episode is not to be missed.
