Summary written by usedby from the source page, in English. The figures are those of Mistral and Austrian Academy of Sciences, not ours.

Apollo helps researchers reconstruct damaged texts and accelerate discoveries that once took years into hours, with future phases planned to support semantic search and handwritten inscription decipherment.

AI and ancient languages are not a contradiction. Apollo will amplify our understanding of history by unlocking the secrets of fragmentary texts.
