AI that lives close to home
Not a faraway cloud. A community project, in South Africa, that you can talk to.
Built by the community
NG∞AI’s infrastructure is being built with capital raised through donations — for the community, by the community. Every contribution takes it further.
isiZulu, English & Afrikaans
Chat in the language you think in. NG∞AI understands and answers in isiZulu, English or Afrikaans — switch mid-conversation if you like.
Lives in WhatsApp
No new app, no account, no password. NG∞AI meets you in the app you already use every day.
Free for the community
NG∞AI runs on our own local AI models — no big cloud bills, so nothing to charge you. While our pilot is online, chatting costs you nothing beyond your normal WhatsApp data.
Your chats stay here
Conversations are processed on our own infrastructure. Your words aren’t shipped off to be someone else’s training data.
Growing with you
This is the beginning. More languages, longer memory, and new abilities are on the roadmap — shaped by the people who use it.
The free tier, honestly
No credit card. No trial that expires. One honest rule.
While our pilot is online, NG∞AI is free for everyone.
- ✓ Chat in English, isiZulu or Afrikaans
- ✓ Questions, writing help, translations, explanations
- ✓ Straight from WhatsApp — nothing to install
- ✓ If we go offline for upgrades, NG∞AI will tell you when it’s back
NG∞AI runs on community funding — a small project shared by everyone. Be patient at busy times, and if you’d like it to grow faster, you can help fund it below.
Help us build it faster
NG∞AI is funded by its community — and we’re looking for funders to speed things up.
NG∞AI runs on our own local AI models, so there are no per-message fees — every rand goes into the infrastructure that keeps it free for our local community: the hardware the models run on, the WhatsApp line people reach it through, and the work of teaching it to serve our languages better. We’ve come this far on donations. With your help, we get there faster.
Individuals
Donate any amount — every contribution counts. Each donor receives a personalised digital NG∞AI Supporter Certificate with their name and the milestone they helped fund.
Businesses & funders
Businesses that provide capital receive an official NG∞AI Funding Partner Certificate, plus recognition on our supporters wall as a founding backer of community AI in South Africa.
Ways to give
Donate online, or message us on WhatsApp for EFT details and funding partnerships. We confirm every donation and issue your certificate personally.
Direct EFT / bank deposit
