As Patrice Lumumba so eloquently put it,
' The day will come when history will speak … Africa will write its own history, and in both north and south it will be a history of glory and dignity'
Did you know that only 1% of AI research is dedicated to the African continent, yet companies like ChatGPT, Deepseek, or even Google deploy AI solutions to 75% of Africans without proper research about our cultures or more importantly our languages?
UmkhoAI not only closes the gap in African AI research, but we address it in a way that has never been done before with you in mind.
We offer a chat feature that can speak & pronounce all South African dialects & languages with a revolutionary language model that is trained to learn African languages before English, no longer waiting for the west to do it on our behalf.
UmkhoAI uses advanced Natural Language Processing (NLP) with Cultural Contextualization, our AI integrates Multilingual and Multidialectal NLP to navigate Africa’s vast linguistic and cultural diversity.
We noticed all current chat features cannot pronounce words like tsthandwa sam (my love). However, with Umkho you, your love and your AI can all be in the same whatsapp group. Speaking African languages like Xhosa, Zulu, Afrikaans, Spetori or even Shangaan with ease.
At UmkhoAI we give South African leaders & citizens a chance to hit the pause button on English whenever they like.
