Who it serves
One technology, several practical audiences.
Maïka is not only a demo. It is a base layer for products that need to speak money, numbers and service information in African languages.
Serve customers in the language they trust.
- Send spoken payment receipts and transaction confirmations.
- Localize balance, invoice, transfer and order notifications.
- Make customer support and commercial messages easier to understand.
Understand digital services without language barriers.
- Listen to an amount instead of only reading it.
- Verify a payment in a familiar language.
- Use digital tools even when written French or English is not enough.
Plan outreach by country and language.
- Identify where covered languages are spoken.
- Prepare campaigns for health, agriculture, education and public services.
- Prioritize deployment by language reach and country footprint.
Use open data for African language work.
- Study recorded audio atoms and language-specific number systems.
- Validate pronunciation and linguistic coverage.
- Contribute to open African language AI resources.
From amount speech to broader local-language assistants.
Version 1 proves the foundation: compose, speak and map local languages. The next step is expanding Maïka toward wider conversational and service workflows.

Example workflows
From API call to real action.
Payment confirmation
A merchant app receives a transaction, calls Maïka with the amount, then plays the generated audio for the customer.
WhatsApp service
A bot sends both text and audio so the user can read or listen to the same information in a local language.
Public-service campaign
An institution uses the map to select countries and languages, then prepares localized audio messages.
Research and contribution
A language team checks the atoms, improves pronunciation coverage and helps expand Maïka into more languages.
