Between those two figures, one thing is missing: a way to pay with the phone. We develop an artificial intelligence assistant that collects payment through M-Pesa and MVola, answers in Swahili and Malagasy, and runs on an entry-level phone.

Ask your question in Swahili or Malagasy; Lazao picks the right model and answers word by word, even on 3G.
5 free answers a day; Lazao+ at $4 a month, paid from the phone. Kenya and Madagascar at launch, then one more country every six months.
Join the waitlist →We don't train models. We route each request to the one that serves it best, we measure the cost and latency of every answer, and we pay the payment commissions you shouldn't have to pay.
Every answer is measured: model, cost, response time. When a model becomes slower or more expensive than another at equal quality, we change the routing, not the price.
Mwezi, Jua, Nyota: the moon, the sun, the star. Three levels of power, each assigned to the use where it is best, with a fallback chain between providers so that an outage at one never reaches the user.
Everyday
Fast and light: questions, translations, messages. The model that answers on the free tier.
Work
The workhorse: homework, contracts, code. A near-frontier engine at the right price, from Lazao+.
Frontier
Full power for heavy reasoning and long documents, served by the frontier models on the market.
