General description of the AI solution

The smart speakers and voice as an interface has been driven, primarily through advances in the Artificial Intelligence (AI) area of Natural Language Processing (NLP). The reality nevertheless is that there exists few to no African languages datasets that can be used to create devices and solutions driven by natural language understanding. This has meant that most smart speakers that currently exist within the market are designed and dictated by big tech companies, and often do not carry local content or services.

We use technology to solve ecosystems and access to market challenges for tech innovators and digital businesses by providing discovery and collaborative collective (scaling and sustainability) platforms. We seek to be the ultimate digital business enabler. Our key impact metric is to help tech innovators access markets.

We are a community-driven smart speaker co-created by the the tech community
