Internal Project (Javaabu)
January 2023 - January 2026
A ground-breaking AI ecosystem that bridged the linguistic gap for the Maldives. DhivehiGPT combines proprietary LLMs with in-house STT, TTS, and OCR models to empower over 79,000 users and major government institutions with seamless Dhivehi language AI interactions.
While the world raced ahead with Generative AI, the Dhivehi language risked being left behind. We built DhivehiGPT to ensure the Maldives has a seat at the table. It’s not just a wrapper; it’s a locally-optimized engine that understands the nuances of our culture and script.
And counting... serving a community of 98,000+ registered users.
Dhivehi Speech-to-Text (STT): High-accuracy transcription for meetings and media.
Text-to-Speech (TTS): Natural sounding local synthesis.
Optical Character Recognition (OCR): Digitalizing historical Thaana documents with precision.
Custom LLM Tuning: Optimized for Dhivehi grammar and local context.
“Javaabu is not just building tools; we are shaping the national AI landscape through policy contribution and curriculum development.
”
Our work extends into the heart of national strategy. From collaborating with UNESCO on AI readiness to contributing technical feedback for the National AI Master Plan, we are ensuring the Maldives adopts AI responsibly and effectively.
