One room, two views
Everyone sees the same trail realized in their language and tone. No side threads, no “did we agree?” moments.
GLYPHD LAB PROJECT · ACTIVE
EN ↔ ZH rooms that stay aligned.
Buoychong keeps English and Chinese speakers in sync by running every turn through EarthCloud intent and Tongbuku trails before you see it. You speak normally; the room makes meaning match both sides.

WHAT IS BUOYCHONG
Shared meaning, two comfortable views.
Buoychong is a room-based chat for people who work across English and Chinese. Instead of translating messages one by one, each room keeps a single meaning trail that EarthCloud realizes for every participant.
Trails instead of logs
Every turn becomes a structured Tongbuku trail so you can replay, audit, and build helpers on top.
Built to be borrowed
Use Buoychong directly or treat it as a reference for EarthCloud + Tongbuku projects.
WHO IT'S FOR
Places where alignment beats translation.
Cross-border product teams
Design, eng, and ops split between EN-first and ZH-first offices who need decisions to survive the hand-off.
Customer & partner calls
Channels where one side prefers English, the other Chinese, and you still need a trusted record of what was agreed.
Founders & operators
Small teams testing new markets without hiring a full interpreter bench.
WHY BUOYCHONG
Translation bots guess. Buoychong keeps receipts.
Meaning, not just words
EarthCloud holds a shared GlyphIR block for each turn so “we should probably delay” never quietly becomes “we will delay” in another language.
One trail per room
Everything writes into the same Tongbuku trail. You can replay, summarize, or export it without digging.
Ready for tooling
Structured history makes it easy to add bilingual briefs, follow-up lists, or ChatCard exports later.
HOW IT WORKS
Four quiet steps under every message.
You type in your language
Write in English or Chinese like any other chat. Buoychong tags the room, speakers, and intentions.
EarthCloud parses to GlyphIR
Intent, tone, spans, and context become a single representation that both sides share.
Tongbuku writes the trail
Each turn becomes an append-only event. The room's history is auditable and remixable.
Realizations & helpers
EarthCloud realizes the trail into each person's language and powers summaries, briefs, and future automations.
STACK
Buoychong is the reference build for this trio.
Everything sits on EarthCloud meaning, Tongbuku trails, and (optionally) ChatCard personas.
Intent & translation backbone
Parses each turn into GlyphIR so realizations stay consistent across languages.
Append-only history
Stores the shared trail so you can replay rooms or build audits and datasets.
Portable tone + permissions
Optional today. Soon, your ChatCard can carry preferences into every Buoychong room.
TRY / STATUS
Lab project, invite-only for now.
We're onboarding a small set of rooms to keep the signal high. Tell us how you plan to use it and we'll share the right build.
Hands-on rooms
Use Buoychong directly for bilingual standups, partner syncs, or board prep.
Status: invite-only. Email us for access.
Pattern licensing
Adapt the Buoychong pattern into your own product or co-build a cousin backed by EarthCloud + Tongbuku.

TRUST
Trails stay scoped to the room you're in.
- Trails, not surprises. Every room has a clear trail you can export or review.
- Scoped use. Trails power Buoychong features and related Glyphd tooling—never silent resale.
- Permissions-aware. When ChatCard is on, its rules apply here exactly as they do elsewhere.
Production deployments ship with a plain-language data note tailored to your org. We can help draft it.
What we log
Intent/tone metadata, realized text, and optional attachments. No surprise scraping.
Where it's stored
Tongbuku trails in your region or a Glyphd-operated lab cluster.
How to export
Rooms export as bilingual briefs, JSON trails, or ChatCard-ready summaries.
FAQ
Answers to the usual questions.
Is Buoychong a product or a reference build?
Both. It's a real chat we run inside Glyphd Labs and a working example of the EarthCloud + Tongbuku pattern.
Do I have to use EarthCloud and Tongbuku?
You can borrow the UX without them, but the reliability comes from GlyphIR + trails, so that's what we ship.
Where do my conversations live?
In the Tongbuku trail your room writes to. Retention and region follow your deployment contract.
Can we run our own instance?
Yes. We can help you deploy Buoychong or build a sibling app that points at your EarthCloud + Tongbuku stack.
