About Us

Our Story

jDai Lab (JaiDed AI) was founded in 2020 with a simple mission: distribute the benefits of AI to the world.

Our first project was EasyOCR — an open source OCR library built with the philosophy that state-of-the-art AI should be easy to use for everyone. It hit #1 Global Trending on GitHub and grew to over 29,000 stars, becoming one of the most widely adopted open source OCR tools in the world.

After the success of EasyOCR, we launched professional services to help organizations — from startups to Fortune 500 companies — implement AI technology tailored to their needs.

Today, we are evolving into jDai Lab — an AI research lab exploring the next frontier of Agentic AI, while continuing our commitment to open source and accessible technology.

What We Believe

• AI should be accessible — not locked behind enterprise paywalls
• Open source matters — it accelerates progress for everyone
• Ship, don't just research — the best ideas are the ones people actually use

What does JaiDed mean?

JaiDed (ใจเด็ด) (pronounce as jai-ded) means "courageous mind" in Thai. The name reminds us of the most important quality in any great endeavour.
