Gloo, the technology platform serving the faith and flourishing ecosystem, has acquired XRI Global, an AI specialist in multilingual and voice technologies. This strategic move significantly enhances Gloo’s existing AI offerings, enabling deeper global reach across thousands of languages previously excluded from modern AI advancements.
With over 7,000 languages worldwide and approximately 6,800 excluded from current AI models, XRI Global has established a proven methodology for building scalable AI solutions—even for languages without written systems or training data. The acquisition integrates this capability into Gloo’s platform, transforming how faith-based and flourishing-focused organizations connect globally.
XRI’s team, comprised of PhDs in machine learning and linguistics with experience at Meta and Google, brings battle-tested expertise in low-resource language AI. This fusion with Gloo’s values-driven approach creates a new category of AI infrastructure designed specifically for the faith and flourishing ecosystem, ensuring technology aligns with shared principles while expanding accessibility.
The combined strengths enable Gloo to deliver trusted, multilingual AI solutions at scale, opening international opportunities and enhancing platform value. Communities speaking underrepresented languages gain full participation in AI-driven tools, supporting broader adoption in health, humanitarian, and faith-based initiatives worldwide.
This acquisition marks a pivotal step toward inclusive, mission-aligned AI that bridges linguistic divides and accelerates human flourishing across diverse global communities.
