Build Together

Open Source Projects

Caribbean-specific AI problems need Caribbean-specific solutions. We are building the foundational open source tools that the region needs - and we need your help.

Patois NLP

Building open source natural language processing tools for Jamaican Creole - because AI systems that cannot understand how we speak, cannot serve us. Linguists and developers both needed.

Caribbean Weather AI

Open source tropical weather prediction models trained on Caribbean historical data. Better hurricane track prediction and flood risk mapping for the region's specific geography.

Agricultural Datasets

Crop disease image datasets, market price data, and soil analysis data for Jamaican and Caribbean agriculture. AI cannot help farmers without high-quality local training data.

Jamaica has the talent, the creativity, and the drive to become a major player in the global AI landscape. We just need to invest in our people.
