About

AI in your mother tongue

Engane.AI (എങ്ങനെ.AI) is an AI assistant built for Malayalees. Ask in Manglish or Malayalam, speak instead of type, and get natural replies — with live Kerala information built in. The goal is simple: make modern AI genuinely useful in the language people actually think in.

Use it on the web at engane.ai, or install the Android app from Google Play — the iPhone app is coming soon.

What we care about

  • Malayalam-first, not translated as an afterthought
  • Voice and text, because not everyone likes to type
  • Connected to real Kerala data via Naatil.com
  • Private by default — your conversations personalise only your experience

Technology we use

We design and build the Engane app ourselves; the AI models that write and speak its replies come from other companies. Malayalam chat and voice powered by Sarvam AI, an Indic language AI company. Malayalam and English text replies are written by Sarvam-105B (conversational variant), a language model from Sarvam AI, on every plan. Anthropic's Claude, through Amazon Bedrock, answers messages with a photo or document, stands in if that model is briefly unavailable, answers on the Marathi early-access page, and writes the summary when you tap Summarize on a long conversation. In the guessing game under Games, the final guess, and any turn the usual model cannot serve, is answered by Anthropic's Claude through Amazon Bedrock.

On phones and in the Android app, voice mode and the Simple-layout chat mic turn your speech into text with Sarvam's speech-to-text; so does the chat mic in desktop browsers without built-in speech recognition, such as Firefox. Elsewhere — voice mode and the chat mic in desktop Chrome, Edge and Safari, and the Advanced-layout mic — your browser's own speech recognition is used, and the browser's provider handles that audio (Google, for Chrome). The Marathi early-access page also uses the browser's own speech recognition on every device. Engane keeps no voice recordings; only the text becomes your message.

About every fifth message you send in a conversation, and right after you answer one of Engane's profile questions, Engane also sends your recent messages to Anthropic's Claude Haiku 4.5 (through Amazon Bedrock) to learn your preferences, so replies can be more personal.

Engane is an independent app made by Thompson Consulting (OPC) Private Limited. It uses Sarvam AI's public APIs, which any developer can use, and is not made, owned, sponsored or endorsed by Sarvam.

A product of Thompson Consulting

Engane.AI is designed, built and operated by Thompson Consulting, an AI education and product studio founded by Thompson Cherian — with 14+ years in enterprise software, including time as a Technical Account Manager at Atlassian.

Their philosophy is “built, not resold”: they teach AI from products they actually ship. Engane.AI is one of several live products in that studio — a real-world example of Malayalam voice + transliteration done properly, not a demo.
