Qulaq

Qulaq («құлақ», Kazakh for “ear”) is an agent for parents in Kazakhstan, where school and kindergarten life runs on WhatsApp groups and teachers often send voice notes in Kazakh, Russian, or a mix of both. Qulaq reads a normal WhatsApp chat export (with media), transcribes voice notes with Muse Voice Transcribe, extracts events, deadlines, payments and things to bring with Muse Spark, and produces a short “don’t miss this” report in Russian. Importance is decided by plain code rules, not by the model. Its key design principle is “never a confident wrong number”. Speech recognition can mishear amounts (500 tenge heard as 300), so every voice note is read three ways. Any disagreement in amount, date or time is flagged with all variants and the teacher’s original words, and a payment with no readable amount is never dropped. Through an MCP server, an assistant can export confirmed events to a calendar file with reminders and detect schedule conflicts. Doubtful items stay out of the calendar until a parent confirms them. Qulaq uses only chat exports, with no scraping or unofficial WhatsApp libraries.
