Trustworthy insights

Data stories you can trace, review, and adapt with a human eye.

Belonging by design

Communities that celebrate diverse voices and shared progress.

Our name

Why “Obedai”?

The name reaches back to old words with a shared spirit. In Hebrew, Obed meant “one who serves.” In Latin, obedīre meant “to listen and respond.” Joined with “AI,” it sums up our philosophy: technology shouldn’t replace people, but act as a companion that takes on the heavy lifting and leaves the human work to humans. In short: Obedai is an AI that listens and serves — so you can focus on the moments that matter.

From Chaos, a Pattern

When everything feels volatile, we invite the disorder in. By iterating on living inputs—human stories, data murmurs, and cultural shifts—we coax a pattern that feels weightless yet enduring.
