Anguillian-born technology professional Dexter Gumbs has launched Polliglot AI, an artificial intelligence-powered translation platform designed to help creators, educators, students, businesses and organisations break language barriers and reach global audiences more effectively.
Polliglot AI enables users to upload a video file, select a target language, and receive a translated video with accurate subtitles or translated audio in just a few steps. The platform supports multiple languages including English, French, Spanish, Hindi, Tamil and others, with additional languages being added as the service expands. The name is derived from the word “polyglot,” meaning a person who speaks multiple languages, reflecting the platform’s purpose of enabling communication across language barriers through artificial intelligence and global connectivity.
The platform is web-based and built on Amazon Web Services’ (AWS) infrastructure, ensuring secure storage, encrypted uploads and downloads and fast processing times. The platform also prioritizes user privacy and data protection. To access it, search www.polliglot.ai in a web browser.
A 30-day free trial is available for any of the 4 plans namely the basic, the pro, the enterprise and the pro enterprise. No hidden charges exist and users can test the platform before committing. Every plan includes AI-powered video translation, speech recognition and subtitling, cloud storage via AWS and encrypted uploads and downloads. The company offers multiple subscription tiers designed to support individual users, teams, and enterprise-level needs, with varying features and support options. Persons interested in utilising the services of Polliglot.ai can locate pricing and other information on their website.
Mr. Gumbs, who currently resides in the United States, has more than a decade of experience in information technology, cloud computing and artificial intelligence systems, primarily working with Amazon Web Services (AWS). Over the years, he has been involved in designing and supporting large-scale cloud applications and has operated an online IT training school offering professional certification courses. Mr. Gumbs believes that since Anguilla is labeled as the “home of AI”, we should maximize the label and while his creation is the beginning, he looks forward to helping other Anguillians grow and innovate in the AI realm.
Recently, Mr. Gumbs extended his work to Anguilla by providing artificial intelligence training opportunities to young Anguillians, awarding scholarships to students preparing for internationally recognised AWS certification exams. Several participants successfully completed the programme, marking an early step toward building local technical capacity in AI and cloud technologies.
Mr. Gumbs said the idea for Polliglot AI was driven by the growing demand for multilingual video content and Anguilla’s global recognition as the home of the “.ai” domain.
“Video is now the primary way people communicate online,” Gumbs said. “Polliglot AI allows Anguillians and global users alike to share their stories, businesses, and educational content with the world in multiple languages without needing expensive translation teams.”
From an Anguillian perspective, the launch of Polliglot AI represents a move toward developing practical artificial intelligence products linked to Anguilla rather than relying solely on domain name revenue. Mr. Gumbs has indicated plans to continue expanding AI education initiatives and has outlined future projects in areas such as healthcare technology and autonomous marine systems, with the long-term goal of creating technology-based employment and entrepreneurship opportunities for Anguillians.
“I want young Anguillians to see that artificial intelligence is something they can build, not just something they use,” Mr. Gumbs said. “It’s a real industry that can create jobs and allow people to stay in Anguilla.”
