Tara
Open-source, India-trained voice AI for the 400 million workers who need it most.
Agentic AI for India's Most Common Problems
Wage Math

Time & Day
"आत्ता किती वाजले? आज मंगळवार आहे का?"
"What time is it? Is today Tuesday?"
MarathiNo friend needed. No screen needed. We're building this first.

"How to reach Indiranagar 100 feet road from Madiwala?"

"Am I eligible for Ayushman Bharat? No Aadhaar."

Rights

How it works
Missed call
She dials a local number. Tara calls back. Zero cost to her.
She speaks
Her language, her dialect. No menus, no commands, no prompts.
Agent routes
Intent is detected. The right domain agent activates automatically.
Voice reply
Spoken answer in under 8 seconds. No screen. No text.
No AI product is being built for them. We are.
Voice in. Voice out. No screen.
Wages. Time. Health. Rights. Navigation. Schemes. Remittance.
Why We're Building This
She owns a smartphone. She calls someone to ask what time it is.
A domestic worker from Nepal, living in Bengaluru. Illiterate. Undocumented. She cannot read the numbers on her own screen.
So she built her own system — she dials a friend, asks the time, acts on the answer. A perfectly functional information retrieval system, engineered around her reality.
But at 4 AM, nobody picks up. And the question isn't always the time. Sometimes it's "has madam paid me right this month?" Sometimes it's "my child has been sick three days — should I spend \u20B9300 on an auto to the hospital?"
We are building Tara so she gets an answer at 4 AM too.
You know someone like her. She works in your building. She watches your gate. She raised your children while raising her own.
Help us build the thing that finally reaches her.
Under the Hood
Indian voices. Indian data. Indian hardware.
Tara is not a wrapper on a Western LLM. We are training a ground-up Indic language model on spoken dialect data being collected across India. The model is learning the language as it is spoken, not as it is written.
Being trained in India. On Indian data. For Indian realities.
We are collecting the training corpus directly from the communities Tara will serve — recording with consent through domestic worker unions, ASHA worker networks, and migrant labour organisations. This data does not exist on the internet. We are creating it. And we need researchers, linguists, and field partners to help.
