KUDO Earns Sixth US Patent for Real-Time Suggestion Technology in Multilingual Meetings

Tuesday, September 1, 2026 — New York, NY – KUDO, a real-time multilingual communication platform, has been granted its sixth US patent. Patent No. 12,718,435, titled “Systems and Methods for Real Time Suggestion Bot,” covers technology that identifies topics of interest as they come up in conversation and surfaces relevant supporting content to meeting participants while the discussion is still happening. 

In any fast-moving meeting, participants raise names, terms, or references that some in the room don’t have context for. Today, getting that context means interrupting the conversation to ask, or looking it up afterward — by which point the moment has passed. 

KUDO’s patented approach removes that gap. A machine learning model monitors the spoken conversation for units of interest tied to a defined category — a technical term, a project name, a data point — and retrieves related content from connected sources in real time. That content appears alongside the meeting’s video and shared documents, giving participants relevant context without derailing the discussion. 

“Multilingual meetings already ask a lot of participants — following a conversation in a second language, tracking unfamiliar terms, staying present in the room,” said Fardad Zabetian, CEO of KUDO. “This patent reflects the kind of problem we build for: giving people the context they need in the moment, without asking them to look away from the conversation to find it.” 

The patent, assigned to KUDO, is the company’s sixth granted US patent, extending a portfolio focused on making real-time multilingual communication more accessible and more useful in practice.
