Africa doesn’t lack talent. We lack AI that understands our languages.
At NovaxAI Lab, we’re building speech and translation technology for Krio, Mende, and Temne.
Why should Africans have to switch languages to use AI?

You shouldn’t have to switch to English to be heard.
At NovaxAI Lab, we’re building speech and translation AI for Sierra Leone’s languages, starting with Krio.
Which language would you like us to support next?

@MistralAI I’m the founder of NovaxAI Lab in Sierra Leone. We’re building speech-to-text, text-to-speech and translation for local languages, starting with Krio.
@MistralAI, would you be open to collaborating on Krio speech data and adapting Voxtral for our communities?
I’m building a customer-support platform at NovaxAI Lab
Looking for 3 businesses to try it and help shape what comes next.

Training an AI model is one challenge.
Building the dataset it needs is another.
At https://t.co/MuCygnrnKT, we're collecting real speech data to teach AI how Sierra Leoneans speak Krio.
Every recording brings us closer to inclusive AI.
Which language should AI learn next?
Hey @X
Business owners: what customer question does your team answer every day?

Africa has thousands of languages, yet most AI systems understand only a handful.
At https://t.co/MuCygnrnKT, we're working to change that, starting with Krio in Sierra Leone.
The future of AI shouldn't leave millions of African voices behind.
Are we building AI for everyone?
Building AI in Africa is tough.
Limited funding. Expensive GPUs. Scarce datasets. Weak infrastructure.
As a founder in Sierra Leone, I experience these challenges firsthand.
Africa doesn't lack talent. We lack access to opportunities.
What needs to change?
@wenyanhh@frevana_ai Love seeing more women making an impact in tech!
Congratulations!
I'm also an African founder, building AI solutions to break language barriers and make technology accessible to underserved communities across Africa.
Bigger AI models or smarter AI agents?
Google's Harness² explores improving AI agents through better tools and workflows without retraining the LLM.
Which would you bet on: a powerful model or a smarter agent built on a smaller one?

My journey to develop AGI spans 25 yrs, including 10+ yrs thinking about technical & societal perspectives at Google DeepMind.
AGI is on the horizon - we need deeper understanding of its implications. To help, we've created the DeepMind Institute. https://t.co/dpc2y4IGT1
