Context stays visible
We're designing a workspace that keeps your document, its context and your choices together.
Pre-MVP · In development
Your writing can travel further than the language you write in.
FolioLoom is a translation workbench in development for authors bringing books, manuscripts and long-form writing to readers in languages they don't speak.

For authors and their writing
Built deliberately, before public launch.
Why we're building FolioLoom
A translation draft is more useful when the author can stay close to the decisions.
Long-form work asks for more than a one-off translation request. An author may not read the target language, but should still be able to guide source meaning, context and terminology before a draft is handed off for review.
We are building a calm workspace to help authors bring their knowledge of the text into the translation process, from context and terminology to a draft for human review.
The workbench flow
From your manuscript to a draft ready for review.
These six screens are design prototypes showing the workflow we are exploring. They do not represent a finished product. The screens and workflow may change as development progresses.
A calm home for a book, its documents and its decisions.
Source context is visible before a translation step is considered.
A place to review suggestions and explain what important terms mean in your work.
Review the settings before starting an AI-assisted translation draft.
Checks and human decisions remain visible for further review.
The intended outcome is a usable working draft for human follow-up.
What we're building
Your knowledge of the text belongs in the process.
Terminology is deliberate
We want authors to be able to explain names, recurring terms and the meaning that matters to their work.
A draft for human review
The workflow is being designed around an AI-assisted draft that a reader of the target language can review.
