About

The problem it solves There is a **global shortage of voice data for AI training**. 1. Out of approximately 7,000 languages worldwide, voice AI supports only around 150—meaning 98% of languages remain unsupported. 2. Even in major languages like English, speech models still perform poorly with accents and dialects. 3. Voice AI systems are still unable to engage in human-level natural conversation. All of these limitations stem from a fundamental lack of high-quality, diverse training data. One notable initiative is [Mozilla Common Voice](https://commonvoice.mozilla.org/ja), which treats **voice as a public good**. However, it still falls short in terms of dataset volume and diversity. We aim to address this problem by building on the public-good model and introducing DePIN-style token incentives to accelerate the creation and sharing of diverse, real-world voice data at scale. Therefore, we focus on a big and real problem and try to solve it with crypto. An interesting aspect of our product is: **The people who speak unsupported languages are often the same people who would benefit most from financial rewards.** So we're not just helping AI get smarter. We're also creating a new way for these communities to earn. And long-term, we plan to turn these voice datasets into a **public good**. ## Our Vision **Turning the world’s conversations into data** What if every conversation in the world could be turned into data—what can we do then?

How it's made

Challenges we ran into 1. We carefully explored the optimal physical design for a device that can seamlessly capture real-life daily conversations. 2. We conducted demand validation by directly reaching out to consumers and AI companies through DMs and social media. 3. We designed a tamper-resistant token distribution formula based on the rarity of conversations and languages. 4. We developed a scalable and privacy-preserving method to manage the vast amount of daily conversation data collected from around the world. 5. Smart Wallet integration
