Our Projects

AI

Machine translation

Digitizing and translating African languages. (Placeholder images)

Despite Africa having over 2000 languages, only 13 of them are recognized by current technologies. Our goal is to digitize and build state-of-the-art machine translation (MT) systems to cater for these abandoned languages.

AI

conversational chatbot

Making menstrual health information available to all. (Placeholder images)

To exhibit the functionality and usability of the MT system, we are building a conversational chatbot that is capable of reliably and accurately answering menstrual and mental health questions. This chatbot can answer questions in multiple African languages, with a focus on the languages we are translating.

Mobile Application

Cross platform mobile application

A single platform that serves as a gateway to a suite of AI technologies. (Placeholder images)

For accessibility and practicality purposes, we are building a mobile application that allows users to interact with both the chatbot and machine translation systems via a single interface. This application will be optimized to operate on minimal hardware and internet capacity in order to better service our intended user base.
