Our Founder Story
Where we started:
AI model for YouTube captioning
Sunflower AI was born out of a necessity to address the inaccuracy plaguing YouTube subtitles. The tedious process of manually correcting AI-generated subtitles for a short video was taking an excessive 30 minutes for just a 15-minute clip.
Our inspiration came from the most popular video on our Co-Founder, Lingzhi Kang's YouTube channel – a crochet video featuring the vibrant Sunflower. Known for their joyful essence, Sunflowers symbolise happiness and warmth. It resonated with our vision of making information accessible to all, creating a seamless and uplifting experience.
As we delved into this space, it became clear that the demand for accurate captioning extended beyond individual content creators. Conversations with users revealed a pressing need for accessible event experiences. This insight sparked the evolution of Sunflower AI from providing a YouTube captioning tool to offering a dedicated B2B live event captioning solution.
Where we are going:
Accessible events for everyone
Having successfully executed our inaugural live event, we are poised to expand our impact. Our future is marked by a commitment to enhancing accessibility in conferences, starting with Sydney-based events.
Recognising the importance of on-the-go accessibility, we are exploring a mobile application with our user base that will not only provide live captions but also facilitate real-time translation into the language of your choice.
Our vision is to create a world where every event is a space for meaningful connection, regardless of linguistic or hearing barriers. At Sunflower AI, our journey is fuelled by the belief that accessibility should be at the forefront of technological advancements.
