AI Studio

Empowering People & Organizations with Artificial Intelligence(AI)

Through Localization, Capacity Building, Research & Development

AI Studio assists individuals and organizations in applying Artificial Intelligence in practical, meaningful ways. We develop AI solutions that are user-friendly, inclusive, and genuinely beneficial for all users. Our goal is to create regional datasets rooted in local language and context, addressing the limitations of current training data that primarily relies on Western contexts and English language.
Our work focuses on local languages, ethical use of data, and practical applications that address real-world challenges. We apply AI across sectors like education, healthcare, and governance, aiming to bridge the gap between cutting-edge innovation and the needs of communities. Our goal is to ensure AI is not just smart, but also helpful, responsible, and aligned with human values.

Current Activities & Projects

🌽

Nepali Crop Disease Detection Project

AI alone cannot effectively detect region-specific diseases. To address this, we are developing a localized AI system trained on region-specific datasets specially for Nepal.
Technologies Used: Python, PyTorch

🧑‍⚕️

Nepali Health Symptom Checker (FHIR-based) Project

This AI project aims to identify illnesses based on symptoms while addressing the unique challenges faced by Nepali-speaking communities. It focuses on developing a localized healthcare solution tailored to the Nepali context, enabling better understanding, clearer communication, and easier access to health information.
Technologies Used: Python, PyTorch, Pandas, FHIR

📊

Democracy Data with AI

We leverage artificial intelligence to visualize and analyze election and democracy-related data, providing clear insights for informed decision-making. We also assisted in preparing datasets for the Chetana Project, Nepal Electoral Reform Tracking project ensuring accurate and structured data for further research and analysis.

Project: CivicAI - Open-Source Small Language Models for Governance & Democracy

AI for Local Language Project

BhasaAI is a Nepali and local language focused language intelligence platform and a Nepali Sovereign Large Language Model (LLM) initiative, designed to make learning more accessible, engaging, and culturally relevant for children to empower communities. Built to understand and communicate in Nepali and local languages, BhasaAI powers interactive educational tools from reading assistants to voice based learning helping young learners grasp concepts in a way that feels natural and familiar. As a Nepali sovereign LLM effort, it emphasizes local data, cultural context, and national ownership to ensure technology truly serves Nepali learners. Backed by our team’s 2 decades extensive experience in local data, Nepali text-to-speech technologies, and the development of child centered educational materials, BhasaAI bridges advanced AI and pedagogy to support inclusive, high quality education for the next generation.
