Bridging the communication gap between species

AI-powered animal communication, starting with penguins.

What we're building

🎧

Real-time Translation

Our AI analyzes penguin vocalizations and maps them to human-readable communication patterns in real-time.

📊

Research-Grade Accuracy

Trained on 4.2 million hours of penguin audio data from 14 Antarctic research stations.

🔌

API-First

Integrate PenguinTranslator Pro into your existing wildlife research workflow with our REST API.

Our story

GhostDirective was founded in 2024 by Sir Reginald McFakename III with a simple mission: what if we could actually understand what animals are saying?

Starting with penguins — one of the most vocal and social species on Earth — we're building the foundation for cross-species communication. Based in Reykjavik, Iceland, our team of 12 researchers and engineers is working to make interspecies understanding a reality.
