CHAT FOR HEALTH ACCELERATOR 2026
๐๐Less than a week left to apply โฑ๏ธ
We are looking for ten healthcare organisations across the Global South ready to build and launch AI-enabled chat and voice services on WhatsApp to join our Chat for Health Accelerator 2026.
* 3.5 billion people lack access to quality primary healthcare.
* 739 million adults cannot read or write. Literacy barriers, language diversity, and limited digital skills have historically kept large portions of the population from accessing digital health services.
*Patients travel far, wait in queues and leave without the care they need.
Two-way voice AI changes that, allowing patients to interact with health services through natural speech, in their own language, on WhatsApp.
The Chat for Health Accelerator 2026 is a 24-week programme with support from @endless_global@ElevenLabs and @AnthropicAI. You design, launch, and scale. We provide the platform, technical support, and up to USD 750,000 in value across the cohort.
If your organisation already serves patients at scale and you are ready to go further, apply today. Applications close 31 May 2026.

3.5 billion people still can't access quality primary healthcare. Chat, AI, and voice are starting to change that.
Applications are now open for the 2026 Chat for Health Accelerator - and we're looking for ten primary healthcare organisations ready to build and launch AI-enabled chat and voice services on WhatsApp.
Last year's cohort proved what's possible:
* @mdaasglobal achieved a 6x increase in follow-up rates
* @doctHERs cut admin workload by 35% and onboarded 10,000 users in a single month
* #Cliniva moved 80%+ of consultations to WhatsApp
* @oneday_health secured an RCT with the London School of Economics
The 2026 programme goes further - introducing #VoiceAI to reach patients who can't read or type.
If your organisation is ready to build services that reach the patients who need them most, apply before 31 May 2026.

A nurse can only be in one place at a time. A community health worker can only manage so many patients. But a voice AI service on WhatsApp can reach thousands - in any language, at any hour, without requiring patients to read or type.
That's what the Chat for Health Accelerator 2026 is built around.
We are looking for ten primary healthcare organisations across the Global South to join the 2026 cohort and build the services that will change how their patients access care.
Applications are open now and close 31 May 2026.

Introducing our Chat for Learning & AI Accelerator cohort. Four organisations. Six months. One goal: more children reading and doing maths. ๐
๐ฟ๐ฆ @funda_wande - structured literacy support for teachers and caregivers across South Africa
๐ Amal Labs - AI tools for 5,000+ teachers reaching 200,000 students across Sub-Saharan Africa
๐ธ๐ณ @OngAred Senegal / @IDinsight - WhatsApp coaching for teachers delivering Senegal's new bilingual curriculum
๐ฎ๐ฎ @WadhwaniAIGlb - AI-powered oral reading assessments, now expanding from India into Africa
These organisations are already proven, and our role, alongside the @GatesAfrica and partners, is to help them go deeper on pedagogy, embed frontier AI, and generate the evidence that moves solutions from promising to systemic.
Each cohort member receives hands-on technical support, AI integration, and a platform to showcase results to funders, policymakers, and implementation partners.
This is the kind of work we exist to support through our accelerator programme - locally led, evidence-based and built for scale.

Across Africa and India, teachers are working hard to do more with less.โจClassrooms are overcrowded, resources are stretched, and access to quality learning materials is uneven.
Many promising education tools never make it past the pilot stage, even though the need is urgent and the potential for scale is within reach.
The Chat for Learning & AI Accelerator, led by https://t.co/4SuDndyb70 with support from the Gates Foundation and Anthropic, is a global programme designed to fast-track the adoption of chat and AI-powered solutions that improve how students learn and teachers teach, especially in low-resource settings.
Weโll select five high-potential education organisations to design, test, and scale impactful digital learning services. Beyond building tools, participants will create scalable, sustainable models that strengthen education systems and improve learning outcomes.
There's just under 3 days left to apply. Make sure to get your application in by COB on Friday - HERE https://t.co/g11BqOxrJC

A reminder that applications are open for the Chat for Learning & AI Accelerator, a six-month programme designed to support education organisations that are already engaging thousands of learners or teachers - and are ready to scale their impact.
But what does large-scale, chat-based learning look like in action?
Darsel, a Chat for Impact Accelerator alumnus, is working to close the math achievement gap across Jordan. With thousands of students using its WhatsApp-based platform, Darsel delivers personalised math tutoring in a format learners already understand and trust - chat.
Itโs designed for students who need targeted practice and explanation, especially those in under-resourced areas with limited access to formal tutoring. Through WhatsApp, students can ask questions, receive instant feedback, and progress at their own pace - anytime, anywhere.
If your education tool is already engaging thousands of learners or teachers, and youโre ready to integrate structured pedagogy, AI capabilities, and real-time measurement, apply today for the Chat for Learning & AI Accelerator.
Apply before 12 December here - https://t.co/uOnOG7hfrp
