LitLingo provides real-time language analysis to help businesses enhance communications, strengthen culture, and mitigate risk by flagging risky or non-compliant language before messages are sent. Its AI works within platforms such as Gmail, Outlook, Slack, Microsoft Teams, and Zendesk, offering real-time feedback to end users. The solution recalibrates messaging as users write to help avoid risky conversations and protect assets. LitLingo is led by CEO Kevin Brinig and is headquartered in Austin, Texas. The company completed a $7.5M Series A and plans to use the proceeds to double headcount over the next 12 months at its Austin headquarters and remotely. Planned hires focus on scaling the go-to-market team—sales, marketing, and customer success—as well as engineering, alongside product enhancements like expanding its library of AI models and platform connectors. LitLingo builds an AI- and natural-language-processing platform that delivers real-time monitoring, prevention, and training to improve business communications across channels like Slack, email, text and direct messages. The software can correct language in real time, flag inappropriate or hateful content, minimize toxic language, and be tailored to become customer- or domain-specific over time. LitLingo integrates with Slack, Zendesk, Gmail and Office 365 and said more integrations are coming. The founders, Kevin Brinig and Todd Sifleet, conceived the idea in January 2019 and relocated to Austin; the company currently has 5 employees. LitLingo signed a lease at Industrious in downtown Austin shortly before the pandemic and its team has been working remotely since March. The company positions its product as a real-time training and risk-detection layer—what an investor described as “Grammarly for business.”
