Tools for work that deserves more care.

Amayx turns ambitious ideas into useful software—without giving up evidence, privacy, or human judgment.

One standard.
Many directions.

Selected work · 2026

Independent products.
A shared standard.

The portfolio spans everyday tools, professional workflows, and knowledge systems. Each product has its own identity, audience, and privacy boundary. Amayx is the endorsement behind the work—not a skin placed over it.

Open research · CalorieK

A model card should show the caveats, not just the curve.

CalorieK estimates food calories and macronutrients from one RGB image. Its public release includes a locked test protocol, comparisons on the same dishes, out-of-distribution stress tests, source-label caveats, code, and open weights.

56.3kcal mean absolute error
606 valid locked test dishes

Research use only. Nutrition estimates are approximate and are not medical advice.

The operating system

A few rules
that travel.

  1. 01

    Evidence before spectacle

    Claims should be inspectable. Benchmarks include protocols and caveats; research tools keep the path back to sources visible.

  2. 02

    Private by architecture

    When a task can happen locally, it should. Network use is explicit, bounded, and explained rather than hidden behind convenience.

  3. 03

    The user remains the author

    AI proposes, compares, extracts, or drafts. People review consequential decisions, and exported work remains portable.

  4. 04

    Useful in the real world

    Products are shaped around working constraints: offline access, Arabic and English, imperfect records, reproducible evaluation, and clear fallbacks.
