Your AI employee, now in Spanish
Kolo now works in Latin American Spanish: the homepage and blog, sign-up and checkout, the web workspace, and your Kolo answering you in Spanish wherever you work.
By Paul Willmes, COO, Head of Product at Kolo
The switch I wanted to end
I have watched more than one owner run their entire business in Spanish, talk to their staff in Spanish, close deals in Spanish, and then flip their software to English the second they sat down to actually use it. That flip is quiet, and it costs something every time: a beat of translation in your head before you trust what a button does, a little distance between you and the tool that is supposed to be working for you.
Today that switch goes away. Kolo now works in Latin American Spanish, from the first page you read on kolo.ai to the daily work your team does inside the product. You are reading one of the two proofs right now: this post ships in English and in Spanish, side by side.
What "in Spanish" means here
I want to be precise, because "we added Spanish" can mean almost anything. Here is what actually ships:
- The homepage and the blog. The kolo.ai homepage and every blog post, including this one, have a Spanish version at its own address, so a Spanish-speaking visitor lands on Spanish and stays there.
- Sign-up and checkout. Creating an account and paying for a plan happen in Spanish, so nobody has to switch languages at the one moment they are handing over a card.
- The web workspace. The product itself, from settings and your team roster to approvals, the Audit Trail, the Daily Summary, integrations, and billing, is translated. This is the part your team lives in all day.
- Your Kolo, answering in Spanish. Set your language and your Kolo replies to you in Spanish. This is the biggest text surface in the product, and it is the one that makes the whole thing feel native instead of merely translated.
We used tú throughout, not usted, because that is how these teams actually talk to each other.
Your Kolo answers in Spanish on every surface
Your Kolo reaches you on several surfaces: a shared web workspace, a mobile app, Slack with messages mirrored both ways, and plain SMS. Your language setting travels with you across all of them. The web workspace is where the interface itself is fully translated today. On Slack, on SMS, and in the mobile app, your Kolo still answers you in Spanish, because those replies follow the language you chose, not the surface you happen to be on.
And because each person sets their own language, a bilingual team shares one workspace without anyone compromising. Your operations lead can work in Spanish while a partner works in English, in the same threads, on the same approvals. Nobody gets a worse version of Kolo for choosing the language they think in.
The same product, in your language
This is a translation, not a trimmed-down edition. Everything that makes Kolo Kolo is exactly where it was:
- Risk-tiered approvals. Kolo scores each action low, medium, or high risk and pauses only the consequential ones for a human to sign off, while routine steps keep moving.
- A full, exportable Audit Trail. Every action Kolo takes is recorded, filterable, and exportable, so you can see what happened, not just what was said.
- Model choice with spending limits. Pick the model per person or per group and set a monthly cap, so cost stays predictable no matter the language.
- 150+ integrations and Skills. Kolo acts across the tools you already run, and the Skills your team builds stay with the company when a person moves on.
None of that changes when you switch to Spanish. You get the whole product, in the language you run your business in.
Built for the teams already working in Spanish
Kolo serves a wide range of businesses, and most of them have Spanish-first people somewhere on the team. A few quick pictures of the difference:
- Restaurants. A manager approves a supplier payment from the floor, reading every prompt in Spanish before it clears.
- Real estate. An agent has Kolo follow up with a new lead and prep for a showing, all in Spanish.
- Home services. A dispatcher texts Kolo in Spanish to slot an emergency call into a full route.
- Medical front desk. The desk asks Kolo to brief the day's appointments and flag conflicts, in Spanish, before the waiting room fills.
- Legal. An attorney has Kolo draft and summarize in Spanish, with approvals before anything reaches a client.
- Construction. A project lead opens the Daily Summary each morning in Spanish to see what ran and what needs a decision.
Why this matters
Working in your own language is not a nicety. It lowers the barrier to trying Kolo at all, it speeds up how fast a team actually adopts it, and it removes the small tax of mental translation from every single interaction. When the tool speaks the way your team speaks, people use it, and an AI employee only pays off when the whole team leans on it.
The proof is the page you are on. This announcement exists in English and in Spanish, each at its own address, because that is now the standard for everything we publish. If you would rather read it the other way, the language switcher is right here.

Frequently asked questions
What parts of Kolo are in Spanish?
The kolo.ai homepage and the blog, sign-up and checkout, and the web workspace itself, from settings to the Audit Trail. On top of that, your Kolo replies to you in Spanish once you set your language.
Does Kolo speak Spanish in Slack, SMS, and the mobile app?
Yes. Your Kolo answers in the language you choose, so over Slack, SMS, or the mobile app, the reply still comes in Spanish. The fully translated interface today is the web workspace.
Do I lose any features by working in Spanish?
No. It is the same product underneath: risk-tiered approvals, an exportable Audit Trail, model choice per person or group with monthly spending limits, 150+ integrations, and Skills.
Can some Team Members use English and others Spanish?
Yes. Each person sets their own language, so a bilingual team can share one workspace with some people working in Spanish and others in English at the same time.
