Glotera AI is an AI translation tool for macOS, with its core positioning being to make cross-language input as natural as native-language input. It does not require users to leave the current app to copy and paste or switch to a translation tool, but instead completes translation directly within the input field of any app.
Uses and scenarios Glotera AI mainly solves efficiency issues in cross-language input and communication, and is suitable for users who need to write, reply to messages, or publish content in a non-native language across various apps such as Gmail, X, WhatsApp, WeChat, Discord, and TikTok. It is suitable for everyday communication with translation while writing, cross-language work emails, social media interactions, and viewing screenshots or images containing foreign-language text.

- Translation Copilot: A chat auto-translation feature for WhatsApp that can automatically read received messages and translate them into the user's language, while also translating the user's replies into the sender's language, without trigger words.
