I Built A Nigerian AI. Try It Out For Free by davidaluu(op):
I fine tuned an AI model for the Nigerian market and trained it on some local data. It's called Chat Naija. Try it out and tell me what you think. All suggestions and feedbacks are welcomed. It's still in beta testing so might have some issues or unexpected crashes or timeouts.

Damn!

You are the GOAT!

A living proof that, we still got brainiacs wishing the country who are devoid of internet fraud, drug trafficking and terrorism.

I can guarantee you one thing irrespective of your current status quo. YOU ARE BOUND FOR GREATNESS!

This is beautiful.
Had a prolonged conversation with the bot.

Very funny and witty.

Great one, bro.

Broo massive congratulations 😅🤝

My main congratulations is cos this thing is fast af.

Not trying to be a show stopper but you know those small children that build carton cars and houses and stuff like that... It only looks impressive when you don't realize how easy it is to build.

There's a lot of open source models already that anyone can fork and deploy, so it would have been interesting to know what this one specialises on, that none can really boast of.

Not Good tech is changing nations now not just politics. They might want him to feature the post by paying.
Re: I Built A Nigerian AI. Try It Out For Free by davidaluu(op): 7:34pm On Aug 04, 2025
Probably making it into a mobile application and building a tech startup around it I guess

Re: I Built A Nigerian AI. Try It Out For Free by davidaluu(op):
Swahili, a core African language has been added. All of the language options are now included with english translations.

Hi David, this is a good initiative.
Are you the dev of the ChatNaija on Vercel?

If you don't mind, let's connect. I am also building something similar, though it is focused on laws.

Nice one when are you uploading to app store and add a custom ad network instead of Google ads because of the current strict policies on Africans like OpenAI.

Ads. Js ,Tracking.Js,adspanel, deleteads , uploadads adsprofile , blockads . Adsfees sidebar, rightbar.
Re: I Built A Nigerian AI. Try It Out For Free by MindHacker9009(m): 1:02pm On Mar 26
I would avoid downloading any app not on Google or apple app store for security reasons. Only if the app is open source then maybe download directly but still be careful.
Re: I Built A Nigerian AI. Try It Out For Free by davidaluu(op): 1:08pm On Mar 26
I'm still working on Google's playstore approval. I just recently applied. But I can assure you it's safe. I just had to put it on drive to share for some colleagues

Working on the upload but I don't think I'm including ads for now. let's see how it goes first
