Usizo-ai

What it does

Usizo-ai is a USSD chart-bot that allows any type of phone to access the power of Gemini without an internet connection.
I used the Gemini API in building the chart-bot web-hook that connects to the USSD infrastructure.
Users query Gemini on a USSD session and get an instant response.

This is significant particularly in regions like Africa,
where the majority of people lack internet access or cannot
afford a smartphone. Usizo-ai provides a low-cost yet powerful solution that is affordable to anyone.
The estimated population of Africa is 1.4billion and only an estimated 30% percentage of that population has internet access, leaving an estimate of 900million people without
access to vital information.
