We are thrilled to share our #AAAI25 acceptance! We spent months with @FAO @cocoboesch perfecting yes/no #FoodSafety questions for vendors in Kolkata—translated and filmed on-site. Why film? So we could replay the entire process afterwards and verify every step. #EconTwitter

We did it! Over the past 6 months, our team was part of the @creativedlab Melbourne Prime Stream. During that time, our little venture,@KasprDatahaus has matured into a proper graduate.

Looking forward to the Super Session in Toronto. Reach out if you would like to meet.
