Utilising Gen AI to preserve and revitalise endangered languages

Kiwa Digital use technology to help bridge cultural divides, build understanding, and preserve and amplify indigenous stories, culture and language world-wide.

They developed Culture Q™, an innovative SaaS platform designed to empower Indigenous communities to preserve and revitalise endangered languages.

The Challenge:

Preserving endangered languages is a complex challenge. Many Indigenous languages lack comprehensive documentation, and traditional methods of storage and access are neither scalable nor interactive.
‍

The Solution:

Rather than building AI capabilities from scratch, Kiwa Digital integrated Caitlyn into CultureQ® . Caitlyn provides a cutting-edge solution built on Amazon Bedrock that allows users to upload a range of materials, including text, audio, and video. Caitlyn processes this content to "learn" these languages, creating a searchable and interactive knowledge base that connects users to invaluable linguistic and cultural insights. This seamless integration ensures Culture Q™ remains focused on its mission while offering an accessible, scalable way to preserve and engage with endangered languages.

‍“Until now, Indigenous people had limited ways to preserve language and culture, with many unwilling or unaware of how to leverage technology to help. Using generative AI integrated into Culture Q, users can now have conversations and interact with their cultural data in a secure, managed environment, when previously they were only able to access static content,” said Steven Renata, Managing Board Director, Kiwa Digital.
