subtl.ai, an India based start-up, failed in July 2025 because it tried to serve every industry with one confused model and zero follow-through. We rebranded as subtl.wtf and rewired the whole thing with duct tape, spite, and four unpaid interns. The result: a half-working system that actually helps the organization by guessing where files go with confidence and just enough shame.

“Finally, an AI that understands bureaucratic suffering.”

Project Summary

subtl.wtf is a half-functioning RAG system duct-taped to the back end of IndigentAI’s filing server. It uses discarded subtl.ai tech, repurposed by a group of highly underfunded visionaries with access to expired Stack Overflow threads and a shared copy of Notepad++. The AI interprets the vibes of unstructured paperwork, government forms, scanned napkins, and faxes from 1998 to correctly (or at least confidently) file them in a system no one understands.

Key Features

🗂️ FileSortGPT

Uses old regulatory embeddings from subtl.ai to predict whether a document belongs in the “Needs Attention,” “Left to Rot,” or “Unknowable” folder.

Over 83% accuracy when tested on handwritten medical denial letters and sandwich order receipts.

🔍 Search-Not-Find™ Engine

Accepts plain-English questions like:

“Where is the form with the squirrel drawing?”

“Who approved the hotdog stipend in April?”

“Which file had the coffee stain shaped like Wisconsin?”

Sometimes returns relevant results. Sometimes returns a letter to Santa. We’re not fixing it.

📎 Clippy Mode

Revives an unauthorized Clippy clone named Paperclaw, who screams when you open a PDF.

Offers tips like: “Looks like you’re filing a request for assistance with no budget or hope. Want help?”

🧠 AIdentification

Trained on 16,000 blurry JPEGs of forms and emails starting with “Hey, quick question…”

Uses “contextual guessing” to decide which nonprofit worker accidentally saved a doc as FINAL_final3_REALLYFINAL_THISONE.pdf.
