The name

Two parts: an old idea of wisdom, and the place we work from.

Phron

phronesis · φρόνησις

From the Greek phronesis, Aristotle's word for practical wisdom: knowing the right thing to do in a real situation.

oma

Oman · عُمان

From Oman, where our technology is designed and our models are trained.

“AI that doesn't just know, but judges well.”

Products

All of them run on your own servers, with no internet connection.

Arabic and English OCR

Qabas قَبَس

Our own text-recognition model for Arabic and English, which we built and trained ourselves.

Why Phronoma?

  1. Your data stays in your building

    Our products run entirely on your own servers, with no internet connection, so your data stays under your control.

  2. Accurate in Arabic

    Specialised Arabic models that we train ourselves, so they read and understand Arabic precisely.

  3. Low running cost

    Our models are small, so they need fewer resources and cost less to run.

  4. Answers with sources

    Every answer points to its source: the file and the page.
