Empowered by AI technology, the realization of barrier-free global communication is gradually becoming a reality.

An awkward overseas trip that sparked entrepreneurial inspiration

Reportedly,the story of Timekettle began in 2016. Its founder, Mr. Tian, was a former Huawei employee, and the opportunity for entrepreneurship came from his parents' trip to Europe.

At that time, Mr. Tian's parents traveled to Europe on their own. Due to his mother's language barrier, even when she felt unwell, it was difficult to ask locals for help, and she even hesitated repeatedly to buy a bottle of water.

This sense of helplessness caused by language barriers made Mr. Tian realize that traditional translation software has significant limitations in use, requiring the phone to be passed back and forth, which is time-consuming, laborious, and offers a poor experience.

Thus, he was inspired to start a business, hoping to create a practical communication assistant for users from different language backgrounds,and the Timekettle brand was born.
