Field notes
The product groups its models under names drawn from Maldivian boats and sea life, including Dhoni for chat, Bathheli for translation and Raalhu for speech-to-text. Developers can access several functions through one API, while the organisation offering describes staff review before announcements are published; the page also says each model is scored before and after changes.
