Ever spoken the queen's english to a perfectly unsuspecting pet? Me too. For thousands of years humans and pets have lived together. Yet a language barrier still remains.

💡 Idea: Pet Translator App
Landing Page Demo
❌ Problem:
Ever spoken the queen's english to a perfectly unsuspecting pet? Me too. For thousands of years humans and pets have lived together. Yet a language barrier still remains.
A pet tech startup recently raised $1M to solve this exact problem after pre-selling 10,000 units of their two way translator. However there was just one small issue, the product of course didn't work. Here’s the idea.
✅ Solution:
A pet translator mobile app that piggy backs off this proven viral concept. Users record the sounds their pets make and the app translates these into text messages.
Every recording drops into a scrollable thread, and when it's wrong users tap the right answer off a list. That correction trains the model on their pet rather than pets in general, which is the part the science actually supports.
Charge upfront for access or run in app ads. Every video saves out as a subtitled clip fuelling marketing. One thing is for certain and it’s that pet videos have never once needed help spreading.
Our Thoughts:
Personally, the thought of translating my cat scares me and i’m not sure the ‘feed me peasant’ at 7pm sharp would really be necessary. The real signal is the attention validation this idea received online not only from pet enthusiasts but the general public as well.
