Regular visitors to my blog would know that I have a soft spot for tech. (In a somewhat related update, you may or may not have noticed that my articles this June also come with an embedded audio track at the top, which means you can listen to me read my blog posts.. )

While technology might be a double-edged sword, we live on the cusp of a world full of unimaginable innovative advances, for better or worse. This article will not be about the pros and cons of technological advances, for that I would recommend watching Black Mirror for a satirical look at how the problem isn’t the tech, but us, the users, who fixate on the most toxic use of whatever we put our hands on.
When the internet first started would anyone have predicted how much time we would spend looking at pictures of cute cats or how emoticons would be a replacement for language, oh and the communities found through blogging?
Artificial Intelligence has become the new buzz word, you’ve probably heard of ChatGPT and other such machine learning projects built on Language Learning Models. OpenAI’s ChatGPT being one of the most popular with its meteoric five day rise to 1 million subscribers
Microsoft’s Edge Browser has endeared itself to me because of the Bing Chat with AI.. Google has more recently tried to gain back some of the ground it lost to Edge and Bing by opening up its Google Bard Ai to more countries outsied of the United States….
Having used them both, I will say Bing Ai Chat has The Edge over Google Bard… for now at least.
Then there is ChatGPT which fast tracked the AI Race… I have never gotten round to efficiently using it because for some strange reason OpenAI services are restricted from operating in Zimbabwe and so one has to tinker around with VPNs and usually ending up on slow servers that will kick you out every now and again or just time out your query…
On the backdrop of all these AI advances, The AfricAI Project has taken the helm to drive AI innovation across Africa, building custom AI tools trained on Afrocentric datasets and also accessible to the locals.
Meet ZivAI
An AI Chatbot loaded with extensive Zimbabwean knowledge, such as the Zimbabwean Constitution and the Hansard with official record of parliamentary debates and proceedings in Zimbabwe. Its also been trained on local service providers so its responses are more specific unlike using the other AI chatbot.
It also has text-to-image generation, PDF query and the developers want to make it a one stop utility with fintech resources for e-commerce solutions..
Meet DanAI
After a warm reception of the Beta version of ZivAI, The AfricAI Project launched DanAI a version of the AI that is available for each country on the continent. Picture it, being able to access a Chatbot that gives responses tailor made for your country and even respond to you in your local language.
DanAI comes with a Chat Mode for conversational engagement, a Co-Pilot Mode for real-time access to information, an Image Mode for creation and editing of images as well as a Document Mode. More features will be forthcoming.
