AI for organisations that serve Irish speakers.
Irish-language AI covers chat assistants, translation and content tools that work in Irish as well as English. Leemer Group builds and tests these systems for organisations that serve Irish speakers, and judges them with fluent speakers rather than assuming a general model handles Irish well.
Irish-language & multilingual AI
Chat, translation and content for organisations that serve Irish speakers, evaluated with fluent speakers rather than assumed to work.
Why is Irish harder for AI than English?
Irish has far less high-quality digital text than English, and that shortage is sharper in specialised domains. Dialect variation adds to it. General-purpose models can produce fluent-looking Irish that a speaker would not accept, so quality has to be measured, not assumed.
How do you evaluate Irish-language output?
With fluent speakers, against tasks that matter to your organisation: the questions your users ask, the documents you publish and the tone you need. Results are written up with the evidence and its limits.
What is the group’s background in Irish-language AI?
Leemer Labs has written about licensed data, fluent-speaker evaluation and the open infrastructure a language needs. Its Gaeilge work is a research programme; planned capabilities should not be read as shipped products.

How an engagement works.
- 01
Brief
A conversation about the problem, the people affected and what a good result looks like. You can draft the idea first in Build Brief.
- 02
Scope
A written scope: what we will build or test, what we will not, and how we will agree it is done.
- 03
Build
Focused work in short cycles. You see working software or evidence early, not a reveal at the end.
- 04
Handover
Code, documents and the reasoning behind decisions, in a form your team can run, change and own.
Questions, answered.
Can an AI assistant answer in Irish?
- Often, with limits. Quality varies by model, topic and dialect. We test candidate models on your real questions with fluent speakers before recommending one, and say plainly where Irish output is not yet good enough.
Do you offer bilingual Irish and English systems?
- Yes. Systems can work in both languages, with the Irish output evaluated separately rather than inferred from English results.
Is this page available in Irish?
- Not yet. An Irish version will be published when it has been written and checked by a fluent speaker, rather than machine-translated.
How do we start?
- Use the contact page. It opens an email draft with this service selected, which you review and send yourself. No form collects your message on our side.
