We're building machines that understand people
Oruk is a speech lab. We build models that hear what people actually mean, sarcasm, emotion, intent, frustration, and context, not just the words they say. The goal is software that listens the way people do.
Meaning over transcription
Words are the easy part. We build models for tone, intent, emotion, and subtext, the signal underneath the words.
Research in the open
We benchmark honestly against the field and publish where it counts, so progress is measured, not asserted.
Built for builders
Understanding should be an API call. We design for the teams putting conversational AI in front of real people.
