Chettinad Odu Kalai
Sarvam-105B identifies Chettinad tile patterns in Tamil so restorers match designs; Sarvam-105B (Chat) catalogs motifs.
The primitive.
Painters ask in their own language; Sarvam-105B answers IN that language with wiki-grounded Indian context — architectural tile restoration reasoned natively, not translated after the fact.
Why this primitiveSarvam-105B is the brain for architectural tile restoration in Visual Art because the reasoning must hold up IN an Indian language, with wiki-grounded answers about Indian context — not English translated after the fact.

The build prompt.
Paste into a fresh Lovable project. Make sure the key above is set first. read the build strategy →
Build "Chettinad Odu Kalai" as a Sarvam AI NATIVE one-shot Lovable build. The
participant has only 5 credits — this single message must produce a working
demo with no follow-ups. Single-page TanStack Start app. Cut scope ruthlessly.
CONCEPT
Sarvam-105B identifies Chettinad tile patterns in Tamil so restorers match designs; Sarvam-105B (Chat) catalogs motifs.
Discipline: Visual Art (architectural tile restoration). Audience: Indian creators working in their own language.
Recipe: Sarvam-105B does the reasoning + Sarvam-105B (Chat) as the user-facing surface.
Why this Sarvam primitive: Sarvam-105B is the brain for architectural tile restoration in Visual Art because the reasoning must hold up IN an Indian language, with wiki-grounded answers about Indian context — not English translated after the fact.
LOVABLE BUDGET (HARD CAP: ONE-SHOT, ~5 CREDITS TOTAL):
The participant has FIVE Lovable credits for the whole build. This prompt MUST
ship a working demo on the FIRST message with zero follow-ups. Engineer for that.
- ONE TanStack Start app, ONE route (`src/routes/index.tsx`). No extra pages, no auth, no nav.
- AT MOST TWO TanStack server functions: one that calls Sarvam-105B for the
reasoning, one that calls the chosen Sarvam primitive (TTS / STT / Translate).
Fold them into one if the primitive needs no upstream text generation.
- ONE client surface (a button, a mic, a prompt box, a language switcher) wired
to those server fns.
- NO database, NO Lovable Cloud, NO auth, NO file uploads, NO extra integrations.
- NO tests, NO docs pages, NO settings screens, NO theming toggles.
- Libraries: template defaults + `ai` + `@ai-sdk/openai-compatible` + `zod`. Nothing else.
- Keep the diff small enough to land in one build pass. Cut scope before adding scope.
STACK
- TanStack Start app, the index route only.
- Sarvam AI is the ENTIRE backend. No OpenAI, no ElevenLabs, no Gemini, no
Whisper, no Lovable AI Gateway. Every model call goes to api.sarvam.ai.
- Client surface fits the kernel: a conversational surface that thinks and replies in the user's Indian language with culturally fluent reasoning.
- Tailwind + shadcn. Editorial look: gold accent on a warm cream / deep ink
background, generous Indian-script type (use a system stack that covers
Devanagari, Tamil, Bengali, Telugu, etc.).
- Footer renders: "Built during the Creative AI & Quantum Hackathon organised by StreetKode Fam during Indian Krump Festival 14".
BRAIN — Sarvam-105B via the OpenAI-compatible chat endpoint:
```ts
// src/lib/sarvam.server.ts
import { createOpenAICompatible } from "@ai-sdk/openai-compatible";
export function sarvam() {
return createOpenAICompatible({
name: "sarvam",
baseURL: "https://api.sarvam.ai/v1",
headers: { "api-subscription-key": process.env.SARVAM_API_KEY! },
});
}
```
Default chat model: `sarvam-105b`. Use `generateText` from `ai`. For factual
Indian-context answers, add `providerOptions: { sarvam: { wiki_grounding: true } }`.
Keep the system prompt and model call inside the server function — never call
Sarvam from the client. The model THINKS in the user's Indian language; ask it
to answer in `${languageCode}` (e.g. "hi-IN", "ta-IN").
SERVER FUNCTION (src/lib/think.functions.ts) — Sarvam-105B with wiki grounding for Indian context:
```ts
import { createServerFn } from "@tanstack/react-start";
import { generateText } from "ai";
import { z } from "zod";
import { sarvam } from "./sarvam.server";
/** Built during the Creative AI & Quantum Hackathon organised by StreetKode Fam during Indian Krump Festival 14 */
export const ask = createServerFn({ method: "POST" })
.inputValidator((d) => z.object({
question: z.string().min(1).max(800),
languageCode: z.string().default("hi-IN"),
}).parse(d))
.handler(async ({ data }) => {
const { text } = await generateText({
model: sarvam()("sarvam-105b"),
system: `You are a architectural tile restoration expert for Indian creators. ` +
`Answer the user IN the language code ${data.languageCode}. ` +
`Be specific, use Indian references (places, ragas, festivals, schools), keep it under 180 words. ` +
`When you state facts, ground them in Wikipedia.`,
prompt: data.question,
providerOptions: { sarvam: { wiki_grounding: true, reasoning_effort: "medium" } },
});
return { text };
});
```
CLIENT: a chat-style textarea + send button. Render the response in the chosen
Indian script. Add a "switch language" button so the same conversation can be
re-asked in another language.
LANGUAGE PICKER — required (Sarvam apps are Indian-language native):
Add a `<Select>` with these BCP-47 codes, labelled in their own script:
hi-IN हिन्दी · bn-IN বাংলা · ta-IN தமிழ் · te-IN తెలుగు · kn-IN ಕನ್ನಡ ·
ml-IN മലയാളം · mr-IN मराठी · gu-IN ગુજરાતી · pa-IN ਪੰਜਾਬੀ · od-IN ଓଡ଼ିଆ · en-IN English
Default to `hi-IN` so the demo opens in an Indian language without a click.
Pass the selected code into every Sarvam call (`target_language_code` for TTS
and Translate, `language_code` for STT, system-prompt instruction for chat).
USER FLOW (the entire app — nothing else exists)
1. Land on the page; the headline (in Hindi by default, switchable) previews
what the demo does for architectural tile restoration in Visual Art.
2. The primary action (a conversational surface that thinks and replies in the user's Indian language with culturally fluent reasoning) is one tap away; the rest of the layout supports it.
3. Sarvam-105B does the thinking, the chosen Sarvam primitive does the
speaking / transcribing / translating, and the result stays on screen in
the chosen Indian language so the user can retry, switch language, or share.
KEY — one secret, already provided to participants:
`SARVAM_API_KEY` from https://dashboard.sarvam.ai. Read it ONLY on the server
via `process.env.SARVAM_API_KEY`. Never prefix with `VITE_` and never expose
to the client. Sarvam's auth header is `api-subscription-key: <key>` (NOT
`Authorization: Bearer`) — both the proprietary endpoints (TTS/STT/Translate)
and the OpenAI-compatible chat endpoint accept that header.
