01 · THE CHALLENGE

Studio polish on a startup timeline

  • Every announcement needed a studio-grade finish, with no room for nerves, mispronunciations or retakes.
  • Guests from eight language groups needed equal access to the show.
  • Hiring eight translators and hosts was far over budget.
  • Tight timelines and budgets ruled out conventional production.
02 · WHAT THEY DID

Digital hosts that never miss a cue

Sparknify built brand-aligned AI avatars as its hosts, used AI voice clones for consistent narration across every segment, and delivered each script in eight languages at the same time.
