Dispatches on building AI that understands meaning — the engineering, the research and the ancient craft behind Edubbly, Tamkar and everything we weave next.
A correct answer rarely matches the answer key word-for-word. Here's how Edubbly reads a student's reasoning — weighing ideas, method and intent across the whole page — instead of hunting for the “right” tokens, and why that shift changes what a grade can mean.
Most models default to formal Arabic. We wanted Tamkar's assistant to greet a customer the way a shopkeeper in Baghdad actually would — warm, quick and unmistakably Iraqi.
Snap a shelf of products and Tamkar weaves it into a structured catalog — names, prices, variants, stock. The vision-to-schema pipeline, and the failure cases that taught us the most.
Mastum comes from Mašṭûm, the Akkadian word for loom. It isn't a costume — it's the whole engineering philosophy. On threads, structure, and turning chaos into cloth.
Arabic ligatures, cramped English cursive, half-erased equations — handwriting is where OCR goes to die. The models and tricks that let Edubbly read what a teacher can barely decipher.
A grade with no reasoning is just a number. We rebuilt Edubbly's report so every mark carries the “why” beside it — generated, laid out and exported as one clean PDF.
The hero's glyph field is 4,000-year-old signs rendered as a 60fps particle system — pre-baked glow sprites, spring physics and a ghost cursor that demos itself. A build note.
