Building Intelligence · Building for Cambodia

We build and own what we make.

A Cambodia-based product studio. Seven products for the market we are from, built and verified in the open, with two bounded client pilots and one honest standard of proof. We are not open for general agency work.

Fields we work in
01 — What we are

Owned products first. Two real-world pilots. One honest standard of proof.

/ 01

Owned work comes first

Our product portfolio is the core of the lab. Every owned product gets a clear definition of done, an accountable lead, and the credit Made by CHNAI LAB.

/ 02

One shared brain

Products adopt our shared AI/ML capabilities only when the use case and safety boundary fit. Verified reusable parts reduce later build cost without forcing AI into every product.

/ 03

Two pilots, hard cap

We reserve two simple client websites as supervised delivery practice. Each needs written scope, client approval, and truthful proof. There is no third slot.

/ 04

Evidence before status

Deployed, local, simulated, degraded and planned work are named as such, on every page. A demo is not a launch, and a repository is not ownership.

02 — The work

Seven intended product tracks,
one shared foundation.

The live GitHub organization contains seven product repositories. “Finished” requires evidence, and repository placement is not legal ownership: PHSAROS and Svaeng Yul conflict with current carve-outs. Vantrex and LMS for Education were co-founded and built by Vatana with Hongleng; the founders' written amendment naming them lab-owned is pending, so they carry builder credit until it is signed.

A buyer-paid, cooperator-led way to line up a buyer before harvest — so Cambodian smallholder farmers sell in volume and keep the full crop price. Working 3-portal demo; Turing Hackathon C10 runner-up.

Ownership review

A Cambodia- and Southeast Asia-focused operations platform for small businesses, with a working core for sales, inventory, customers, and expenses. It is not an accounting, tax, payroll, or compliance guarantee.

A rules-first Telegram moderation guard, deployed as a webhook that acts only where a group admin has added it. No pilot, users or protection outcome is claimed, and the website-checking path stays local.

Ownership review

Decision-support tooling for traders: a bilingual portal, a subscription-gated dashboard, and a signal engine, all pre-launch. No customers, no live payments, and no published track record; the public record opens when a production history exists.

A Canvas-inspired learning system with core enrollment, assignment, submission, grading, content, file, and quiz milestones implemented. A public demo runs on synthetic data; production providers, launch security, legal decisions, and approval for live student data remain unresolved.

One AI/ML foundation the owned portfolio can reuse. Live today as “Kasekor” inside Chomkar, with a hard firewall around commerce decisions.

The studio as one map

The lab at the centre. Eight tracks, seven builders, two pilot slots.

Every node is a real product, a real person, or a reserved slot, and every line is who leads what. Drag to orbit, scroll to dive, click a node to open it.

03 — How we work

Scope it. Build it in the open.
Verify it. Credit it honestly.

The same five moves on every track, owned or piloted. A person owns each decision; agents accelerate bounded work; evidence decides what we can say.

01

Define the scope and the evidence boundary

What counts as done, what may be claimed, and who leads. Nothing starts without an accountable lead and a written finish line.

OUTPUT · SCOPE · LEAD · DEFINITION OF DONE
02

Build in the open, with AI bounded

Every meaningful change traces to an issue and a pull request. Agents receive scoped context, never secrets, and their work stays reviewable.

OUTPUT · REVIEWABLE PULL REQUESTS
03

Verify before status

Human review and repeatable checks, and a plain record of what is deployed, local, simulated, degraded, or planned. A demo is not a launch.

OUTPUT · EVIDENCE, LABELED
04

Ship with honest credit

Made by CHNAI LAB only for products confirmed lab-owned in writing. Powered by CHNAI LAB on a pilot only after the client approves it.

OUTPUT · ATTRIBUTION THAT HOLDS UP
05

Reconcile ownership and keep the cap

The portfolio is reconciled in writing, not by repository placement. Two pilot slots, no third, so owned products keep the lane.

The problem is real — and here's the first win we have to show for it.

We don’t lead with a roadmap. Here’s the ground our flagship stands on — and what it has already done.

05 — The team

Seven builders, each leading where they're strongest.

One lead per product, matched to each person’s major. If you want to lead and own a product — not just contribute — there may be room for you here.

06 — Founding client pilots

Two learning pilots.
No open service menu.

We have reserved exactly two simple website pilots so the team can learn from real delivery without displacing our owned products. General client intake is closed, and a third project does not enter the queue.

Small-business brand site

A focused brand and storefront website for one local business. Work has started privately; the client's identity, assets, and results stay private unless they approve publication.

SLOT 01 · STARTED

Professional proof link

A reserved concept for a lightweight mobile showcase of approved photos, experience, services, client messages, and direct call or chat actions. No partner has accepted this slot, so it is not client experience.

SLOT 02 · RESERVED · NOT ACCEPTED

Written scope before promise

The proposed model is a 12-month pro-bono collaboration. Build scope, hosting and domain costs, revisions, support, content ownership, renewal, termination, and handoff must be agreed in writing first.

TERMS · PROPOSED UNTIL SIGNED
TWO RELATIONSHIPS · TWO HONEST CREDITS
Made by CHNAI LAB
Powered by CHNAI LAB

Made by is reserved for products confirmed as lab-owned in writing. GitHub placement alone does not qualify. Powered by may appear on a client pilot only after the client approves the credit. Neither label replaces accurate contributor credit.
