BT Cowork
In collaboration with the ETEN Innovation Lab
For Bible translation teams

A digital team of coworkers for Bible translation

Work toward the All Access Goals without adding yet another tool. Ask for an outcome in your own language, and BT Cowork agents do the work across the tools you already use.

What it is

Not another tool. A team that uses your tools.

BT Cowork is a digital team of AI agents that works alongside human translation teams and the tools they already use, with a particular focus on QA, review and post-editing.

Ask for outcomes

Teams describe what they need in natural language, written or spoken, instead of learning a stack of tools.

Fits your tool stack

Each organization or project swaps in its own tools. Skills and integrations are set in plain language, with no plugins or code.

Under your control

A purpose-built harness runs the agents on Prediction Guard's AI control plane, with operational control of every agent action.

What it looks like to cowork with agents

What co-working with agents looks like in Bible translation

The team states the goal or outcome. BT Cowork agents run their own translation process, or the relevant parts of it like QA, under operational control at every step.

What the agents work with, at every stepNot in time order

Agents use the same stack the human translation team uses, and draw on expert resources, project context and previous work.

One example workflow. BT Cowork agents can cowork with teams on other processes, with other tools, and in other modalities, including oral Bible translation.

See it in action

From a simple request to review-ready output

The team asks for an outcome, BT Cowork asks a few clarifying questions, then its agents translate, check and post-edit before handing off for human review.

Works with your tool stack

Use with any stack, one control plane, one harness

Each organization brings its own Bible translation tools. The same BT Cowork harness works across them, all on one control plane.

What is a harness?

The biggest gains in AI-assisted software work came from giving agents a harness: the structure that tells them the standards, the tools, how to split the work and what controls apply. BT Cowork brings that idea to Bible translation.

About Prediction Guard

Prediction Guard gives organizations operational control of their AI agents. Its AI control plane runs inside your boundary, on premises, in a private cloud or fully disconnected, with agent behavior runtime controls and component input/output runtime controls that make every agent action identifiable, governed and stoppable.

Prediction Guard provides the security and operational control layer that BT Cowork agents run on. Learn more at predictionguard.com
