An independent research lab

Useful things,
grown slowly.

A small lab growing useful things in dry places: language, learning and AI.

What we're growing

Projects and research

In progressWebMobile

Apps

Small, focused apps for learning and everyday work, built with the communities that use them.

In research

Language research

How people learn to read, write and speak a language, and how software can help without getting in the way.

Coming soon

AI research

Small, careful experiments with language models for low-resource languages and learning.

Who we are

A family and a few friends

Cactux Labs started at a kitchen table. We build tools for communities we're part of, publish what we learn, and keep things small enough to look after properly.
