Gloo announced that it has acquired XRI Global, an AI company specializing in multilingual and low-resource language technologies. The deal aims to deepen Gloo’s AI capabilities as the company looks to expand its platform across international markets within the broader faith-and-flourishing ecosystem.
Founded in 2018, XRI Global builds custom multilingual and voice AI solutions designed to operate across thousands of languages, including those with limited or no training data. The company has developed AI models for more than 30 languages over the last 18 months and is known for its research-driven approach to scaling language technologies for underserved communities. Its team includes experts with backgrounds in machine learning and linguistics from Meta and Google.
Gloo said that integrating XRI’s technology will strengthen both Gloo AI and Gloo360, enhancing the platform’s ability to serve global communities that have historically been excluded from modern AI systems. The acquisition also supports Gloo’s strategy to expand its international footprint while aligning AI development with values-based objectives.
The companies said the combined capabilities will enable Gloo to deploy trusted multilingual AI throughout the faith and flourishing ecosystem, unlocking new market opportunities and helping organizations reach people across thousands of languages.
