Where things actually stand
We'd rather this page be a little less impressive and stay true than round anything up. Every item below is tracked in the open on GitHub — not just described here.
- LiveThe architecture, in writing
docs.shamwari.ai documents exactly how routing, sovereignty and citation work, and it’s checked against the real code.
- LiveData sovereignty enforcement
The two rules on the Blueprint page are live in code, enforced at more than one layer, and covered by tests — not policy on a page.
- LiveGround's storage and search
The database and search indexes behind retrieval are running and ready.
- BuildingThe Zimbabwean legal and tax corpus
Sources are being reviewed and approved one at a time — we ingest what we have the rights to, nothing scraped first and asked about later. The Constitution of Zimbabwe is first in.
- BuildingShamwari Cloud
The gateway and API are written and tested, and not yet serving production traffic.
- PlannedShamwari Mind
The on-device, open-weight model — the part that makes the sovereignty promise real for everyday use, not just for the API.
- PlannedVoice and image
Including Shona and Ndebele speech, once a provider actually supports them well.
