Fun fact: "Wit.ai" can be pronounced just like "Witaj" in Polish, which means "Welcome/Hello". Dunno if this is intentional or even acknowledged by founders. ;-)

One of the founders is named Laurent Landowski. Could this be a Polish name? Polish also looks to be in beta for them, which is one of only a handful of languages they support.

I've met him -- he and three other members of the team are French!

I guess the Laurent should have given that away, but I figured "Landowski" sounded a bit Polish.

I came here looking for how to pronounce "Wit.ai". I'd decided on "Witty", as read by Forrest Gump. "Witaeeee!"

My thoughts exactly. "witai" also is a word in czech, so maybe a reference to etymology of the word "robot".
