About Ozhiaki

Ozhiaki Labs builds a vibe-coding ecosystem — tools that turn prompts into production apps. Our work spans evaluation, inference, and spooling infrastructure, released as a family of composable command-line tools.

The name

Ozhiaki (oh-zhee-AH-kee) is a portmanteau from the Chippewa/Ojibwe language: ozhi ("make, build, form") andaki ("earth, land, ground") — an "earth builder" or "world creator."

Ojibwe is an Indigenous language of the Great Lakes region with roughly a thousand speakers remaining, primarily in Minnesota and Wisconsin. We use the name with respect and acknowledge its source: the Ojibwe People's Dictionary at the University of Minnesota. Our infrastructure services follow the same convention — for example Ganawend ("protect, keep") for secrets management.

What we value

• Speed — idea to deployed app in under an hour.
• Quality — production-ready, not prototypes.
• Honesty — clear about what's automatic and what isn't.
