Building Truly Inclusive Agentic AI

EqualyzAI is one of Africa’s fastest-growing AI startups, dedicated to democratizing artificial intelligence for the continent’s diverse linguistic communities. We specialize in collecting hyperlocal, multimodal datasets to develop powerful domain-specific Small Language Models (SLMs) and inclusive AI agents. Our mission is to unlock opportunities for native speakers by enabling them to interact with technology in their mother tongues.
At EqualyzAI, we are pioneering the development of truly inclusive Agentic AI solutions that can think, reason, understand, and respond in African languages. By leveraging hyperlocal datasets—collected in collaboration with native language speakers—we ensure our AI models are deeply rooted in the cultural and linguistic contexts of the communities they serve. This approach enables us to create AI systems that are not only technologically advanced but also socially and culturally aligned with the diverse populations across Africa.

Our Approach

Data Collection

Leveraging a network of over 10,000 qualified data collectors and 350+ language experts across Africa, we gather diverse datasets encompassing audio, text, images, and videos.

Model Development

Utilizing our proprietary datasets, we develop Small Language Models (SLMs) optimized for African languages. These models are designed to operate efficiently in low-resource settings, making AI accessible even on low-end devices.

Product Deployment

We integrate our models into practical applications across various sectors, including education, healthcare, agriculture, and finance, ensuring that AI solutions are tailored to the unique needs of African communities.
