Talk is the new app

Voice AI companies are joining forces. Talking apps will soon be everywhere, and easy to make.

Watch the bias

AI can treat people unfairly without anyone noticing. Builders who test for this will stand out.

Three angles

Build to learn

Teach AI, earn money

America is paying big money for AI teachers. The same need is growing in Nigeria as companies train staff. People who can teach AI will not lack work.

The gap: Nigeria has few local, affordable AI training courses in plain language.

Build: Build a free 5-day AI basics mini-course website this week.

Build to sell

Sell culture apps to Edo

Edo State wants AI to boost tourism. That means they will soon pay for tools that guide visitors. Nobody has built the simple visitor chatbot yet.

The gap: No ready-made AI tour guide exists for Edo's festivals and heritage sites.

Build: Build a WhatsApp tour guide chatbot for Benin City attractions today.
