What is Lokalise?

Lokalise is instrumenting AI translation quality so teams can see how much human correction it costs.

Lokalise is concentrating on measuring and improving translation quality in AI/MT-heavy workflows: a Translation Quality Analytics beta tracking post-edit rate and edit distance, richer per-contributor review metrics, smarter Translation Memory that now captures reviewer-approved AI/MT output, and a browser-based Glossary Guard for cleaning glossary files. Performance and tooling work (faster snapshots, a rewritten Go file-exchange library) rounds it out.

What is Speakeasy?

Speakeasy's Gram is hardening into an enterprise MCP-agent platform with event-driven triggers.

Gram, Speakeasy's MCP-agent platform, is shipping at a rapid weekly cadence (v0.69 through v0.73 plus Elements 1.36 in two weeks). The work clusters around enterprise readiness - user-session and identity management, SSO and directory sync, audit trails of assistant tool calls, token-under-management billing - alongside assistant ergonomics like a full-page Project Assistant and streaming replies.

DEVOPS
5.0

Lokalise is instrumenting AI translation quality so teams can see how much human correction it costs.

◆ Current state

Lokalise is concentrating on measuring and improving translation quality in AI/MT-heavy workflows: a Translation Quality Analytics beta tracking post-edit rate and edit distance, richer per-contributor review metrics, smarter Translation Memory that now captures reviewer-approved AI/MT output, and a browser-based Glossary Guard for cleaning glossary files. Performance and tooling work (faster snapshots, a rewritten Go file-exchange library) rounds it out.

◆ Where it's heading

The direction is quality measurement as the control layer over machine translation: give localization managers hard numbers on how much post-editing AI output requires, and feed validated output back into TM to compound. Lokalise is positioning around trust in MT output rather than just generating more of it.

◆ Prediction

Expect the Translation Quality analytics to graduate from beta and tie more directly into TM and workflow routing, surfacing where AI/MT is reliable enough to auto-approve versus where human review pays off.

10.0

Speakeasy's Gram is hardening into an enterprise MCP-agent platform with event-driven triggers.

◆ Current state

Gram, Speakeasy's MCP-agent platform, is shipping at a rapid weekly cadence (v0.69 through v0.73 plus Elements 1.36 in two weeks). The work clusters around enterprise readiness - user-session and identity management, SSO and directory sync, audit trails of assistant tool calls, token-under-management billing - alongside assistant ergonomics like a full-page Project Assistant and streaming replies.

◆ Where it's heading

Gram is moving from a build-MCP-servers tool toward a governed platform for running assistants and agents in an organization. The newest release adds webhook triggers that let Slack, Linear, and GitHub events drive agents, while the identity, audit, and billing work signals a deliberate push at enterprise buyers who need control and accountability.

◆ Prediction

Expect more event sources and governance surfaces - additional webhook integrations, richer policy and audience scoping, and analytics that tie assistant tool-call audit data to the token-under-management billing it just introduced.
