fal's name turns out to be a double entendre: "Features & Labels" from machine learning, and the Turkish word for coffee-ground fortune-telling — "it's like your future prediction," per cofounders Burkay Gur and Gorkem Yurtseven.
A fun follow-up: one user's mother, a seasoned coffee-ground reader, now uploads photos of coffee cups to ChatGPT and lets AI read the "fal" instead.
