+# HillByte
+
+**Building AI for languages, communities, and real-world applications.**
+
+HillByte is an AI and technology company focused on developing practical, high-quality artificial intelligence solutions and advancing language technology for underrepresented languages and communities.
+
+Our work spans **AI research, language models, machine translation, embeddings, speech technologies, intelligent applications, AI education, and community-focused digital services**.
+
+## Our Mission
+
+We believe that access to advanced AI should not be limited by the size of a language or community.
+
+HillByte works to develop technology that helps bring **underrepresented languages into the modern AI ecosystem**, while building practical AI systems that address real-world needs in education, public information, employment, and community services.
+
+## Our Focus Areas
+
+### 🌐 Machine Translation
+
+We develop and research machine translation systems with a focus on improving translation quality for **Mizo and other low-resource language scenarios**.
+
+Our work includes:
+
+* Neural machine translation
+* Large-scale parallel data development
+* Synthetic data generation
+* Knowledge distillation
+* Efficient student models for practical deployment
+* Translation evaluation and benchmarking
+
+### 🧠 Language Models
+
+We explore efficient language models and AI systems that can better understand and work with low-resource languages.
+
+Our research includes:
+
+* Language model adaptation
+* Instruction tuning
+* Knowledge distillation
+* Multilingual AI
+* Efficient and deployable models
+* Domain-specific AI assistants
+
+### 🔎 Embeddings & Semantic AI
+
+We develop embedding models and semantic technologies for better language understanding and information retrieval.
+
+Areas of interest include:
+
+* Multilingual embeddings
+* Semantic search
+* Retrieval systems
+* RAG applications
+* Low-resource language representations
+* Knowledge-base question answering
+
+### 🎙️ Speech Technology
+
+We are interested in advancing speech technologies for underrepresented languages, including:
+
+* Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR)
+* Text-to-Speech (TTS)
+* Speech datasets
+* Speech evaluation
+* Spoken language AI
+
+### 💬 WhatsApp-Based AI Assistants
+
+We build accessible AI services through WhatsApp, helping people use AI through a familiar and widely available communication platform.
+
+Our projects include:
+
+#### ExamCoach
+
+**ExamCoach** is a WhatsApp-based AI assistant designed for **Mizoram Government job aspirants**.
+
+It aims to support learners and candidates with accessible study assistance, exam preparation resources, practice questions, explanations, and other educational guidance through WhatsApp.
+
+#### Mizoram Assembly AI
+
+**Mizoram Assembly AI** is a WhatsApp-based chatbot designed to make information related to the Mizoram Legislative Assembly more accessible.
+
+The project explores how conversational AI can help users discover, understand, and interact with public information through a simple messaging interface.
+
+### 📚 Datasets & Research
+
+High-quality data is essential for advancing AI in low-resource languages.
+
+We work on developing and sharing resources that may include:
+
+* Parallel translation datasets
+* Instruction datasets
+* Language datasets
+* Evaluation benchmarks
+* Speech datasets
+* AI research resources
+* Domain-specific knowledge bases
+
+### 🎓 AI Training & Capacity Building
