We believe language belongs to the people who speak it.
Our mission is to build open, ethical AI tools that help preserve and strengthen Papiamentu and Papiamento, so these languages can live on and grow in the digital world.
We are a grassroots, volunteer-driven initiative. We build carefully, step by step, with respect for culture, data, and the communities we work with. Progress takes time, and that’s okay because we value doing things right over doing things fast.
Everyone who joins us brings their own ideas, curiosity, and energy. Together, we learn, experiment, and create tools that serve people, not the other way around.
Language, Culture, and Community at the Center
Our vision is rooted in respect for language as culture, and in the belief that technology should serve the people who speak and live it every day.
Preserve Living Languages
By valuing our languages as living heritage, we work carefully and ethically to ensure they continue to grow, adapt, and be passed on.
Build with Care, Not Rush
We choose thoughtful, responsible development over speed, knowing that trust, quality, and respect take time to build.
A Grassroots, Volunteer-Driven Initiative
Our work is powered by volunteers who learn, experiment, and collaborate openly to create tools that reflect real community needs.
Everyone Has a Role to Play
We believe that meaningful progress comes from shared ownership, where each person brings their own ideas, curiosity, and commitment to the collective effort.
