We partner with researchers, archives, and institutions building tools accountable to the communities closest to the work.
Flagship Project
Rasin makes the archive searchable.
Five centuries of Haitian history — colonial records, revolutionary dispatches, constitutional texts, newspapers — indexed across French, Kreyòl, English, and Spanish. Every answer cites the exact document and page. The historiography is intact: events are framed in their political context, figures are placed in relation to each other, and the archive speaks in its own voice.

Language
Multilingual AI systems for communities structurally excluded from mainstream tooling — embeddings, OCR pipelines, and NLP tools for Haitian Kreyol and other low-resource languages.
Cultural Memory
Archives become living infrastructure when searchable, citable, and accessible in the languages people actually use. Digitization, knowledge graphs, primary-source retrieval.
Sovereign Infrastructure
Systems deployed on hardware we control — self-hosted compute, local AI inference, and operational governance designed for community sovereignty rather than platform dependency.
Cooperative Platforms
Ownership, coordination, and public benefit built into every system from day one. Community-governed platforms with shared resources and transparent decision-making.
