GeminiSMS

What it does

The conversation around AI takes internet access for granted. But for most of the world, the internet is prohibitively expensive. In fact, some of the poorest countries in the world have the highest costs. This means that people who can benefit the most from AI and LLMs like Google Gemini, are the least likely to be able to access it. That is why we came up with GeminiSMS. GeminiSMS gives you the power of Google Gemini, without the internet. Whether you're looking to bridge the digital divide or enhance local innovation, GeminiSMS aims to empower communities in even the most remote areas by offering Gemini via SMS.
Steps:
SMS: The process begins when a user sends an SMS to a special number. This text message could be queries or information that the user wishes to use AI for.
Communications Client: The incoming SMS is received by a communications client, which forwards the message to a server using a webhook. Gemini: The server uses Google Gemini to generate a response which is limited to 150 characters due to SMS limitations.
Reply: The reply is then sent back to the user through the same communications client. Impact:
The project addresses a significant gap in digital access. GeminiSMS functions 100% offline for the users. This is useful in areas with unreliable or expensive internet services. Using SMS, which is often available for cheaper prices even in remote locations, GeminiSMS provides a way for people in remote areas to interact with cutting-edge AI technology.
