New things you can do in the Smartcat AI chat

Overview

You can now get more done in Smartcat by describing what you need. The AI chat changes how you interact with Smartcat. Previously, every task required going to the right screen, filling in forms, selecting settings, and clicking through configuration steps. Now you describe your goal in plain language, and Smartcat figures out the best way to accomplish it.

Instead of setting things up step by step, you send files or explain your task, and Smartcat chooses the right workflow and runs it for you. Behind the chat, AI Co-workers coordinate the entire process: understanding your request, selecting the workflow, applying your settings, launching the execution, and delivering the result.

What this changes in practice

The AI chat makes it easier to handle tasks that used to take multiple steps:

• Creating multilingual courses from your content — Localizing a SCORM course used to mean unpacking the package, extracting all translatable elements, managing translations for each component separately, and reassembling everything. Now you upload a SCORM package and get a localized version back. Smartcat processes the full package (text, images, media, navigation, and assessments) and delivers a ready-to-use course

• Localizing websites or courses — Website localization used to involve a multi-step setup with separate configuration for crawling, extraction, translation, and publishing. Now you connect your site through the chat, preview translations in context, and launch localization across multiple languages at once

• Translating PDFs and images while keeping formatting — Formatted documents like PDFs and presentations were challenging because translated text needed to fit the original layout. Now you drop in your file and get a translated version that preserves the original formatting and layout automatically

• Managing content across multiple languages — Working with many languages used to mean managing separate projects or tasks for each pair. Now you run translation into 10, 15, or 25 languages in parallel. You submit one request and get results for all languages, coordinated and delivered in one place

• Conversational interaction — Instead of going through forms and screens, you describe what you need in plain language. This is especially useful for ad-hoc tasks, quick translations, and situations where you are not sure which workflow to apply

• Guided decision-making — You ask questions about available options, supported formats, or recommended approaches. Smartcat explains what is possible and helps you choose the best path for your task

Automatic use of your existing setups

Smartcat can also use your existing workflows and templates automatically as part of the process. When you describe a task, Smartcat looks at your workspace configuration, finds the matching templates, applies your Translation Memory (TM) and glossaries, and uses your workflow definitions exactly as configured.

You do not need to set anything up again. Smartcat applies your existing configurations automatically, so you get the convenience of the conversational interface combined with the precision of your established processes.

What has not changed

All your previous capabilities remain available. The CAT editor, project views, translation memories, glossary management, assignment templates, and reporting all work as before. The chat is an additional way to access and use these features, not a replacement.
