Title:
AI That Speaks Twi, Ga and Ewe — and Runs Your Business: Meet the Four Ghanaian-Built AI Platforms Putting Local Users at the Centre of the AI Era
Details:
Artificial intelligence is changing how the world writes, works, and learns—but almost entirely in English. For the millions of Ghanaians who think, trade, pray, and parent in Twi, Ga, or Ewe, the AI revolution has so far been happening in someone else's language.
A new family of products built by Global Digital Prime is changing that. Akwaaba AI (Asante Twi), Onukpa AI (Ga), and Sena AI (Ewe) are complete, ChatGPT-class AI assistants that live natively in a Ghanaian language—not translated chatbots, but full platforms where the conversation, the interface, and even the generated designs speak the user's mother tongue. Alongside them sits DigiAssist AI, an AI-powered business operating system that gives entrepreneurs an entire back office in one place. All four are live today, with English always available as a second language on the language assistants.
Not a chatbot — a full AI assistant in your language
Each product carries the same complete toolkit. Users can:
• Chat and create documents—ask anything and get well-formatted answers in Twi, Ga or Ewe; draft letters, business plans and speeches; build a professional CV through a guided, step-by-step interview and export it to Word or PDF.
• See and understand anything — photograph a letter, a form, a medicine label, or a school notice and ask, "What does this say?” in your own language.
• Design and advertise—generate logos, flyers, and posters in-chat and create short cinematic video adverts ready for WhatsApp Status and social media.
• Speak and listen—dictate by voice instead of typing; turn any script into a natural spoken voiceover with a choice of voices, emotions, and pace, downloadable as MP3 for radio, church readings, and announcements.
• Transcribe and translate—live transcription of meetings with side-by-side translation across 16 source languages, plus one-tap meeting summaries.
• Call the AI—a real-time voice or video call: a farmer can point the camera at a sick crop and hear a spoken diagnosis in their language within seconds, and screen-sharing lets the AI walk anyone through an app or form step by step.
Built local-first, with native speakers
What separates these products from a translation layer is the craft underneath. Each language is grounded in a human-built glossary and grammar pack of more than 1,000 native words and phrases, curated with native translators, so the AI sounds like a real speaker rather than a translation engine. The platforms also render the special Ghanaian characters—ɛ, ɔ, ŋ, ƒ—correctly everywhere, including inside generated logos and designs, something most global tools still cannot do.
Accessibility is designed in from the start. Every product installs as a lightweight app on entry-level Android phones—no app store needed—and pricing is built for Ghanaian reality: prepaid plans in cedis, paid with MTN, Telecel or AT mobile money, with no auto-charge. A free tier lets anyone start immediately.
DigiAssist AI—a business operating system, powered by AI
Where the language assistants help individuals, DigiAssist AI equips businesses. It brings together 24 AI tools across 9 categories—an AI website builder, bookings, CRM and lead growth; trainable business chatbots and voice AI; marketing campaigns and WhatsApp commerce, a creative studio for flyers and brand content, invoicing and online-store payments, and operations tools covering expenses, HR and payroll, and projects and deliveries.
On top of the core tools sit ready-made industry studios—sector workflows for education, healthcare, retail and e-commerce, hospitality, real estate, NGOs and community organisations, agriculture, and professional services—so a school, clinic, shop, or farm co-op can start with a setup built for how it already works. A partner programme lets local digital entrepreneurs resell and earn from the suite, turning the platform itself into a source of income for Ghana's growing tech workforce.
A Ghanaian founder, building for home
The platforms are the work of Stephen Totimeh, a Ghanaian founder and CEO of Global Digital Prime — part of a group of companies spanning three continents that also includes Pacific Wave Digital in Vanuatu and Rapid Entrepreneurs in Ghana. He builds for West Africa from an unlikely base: Port Vila, Vanuatu, in the South Pacific, where the same platform also powers Storian AI, an AI assistant in Bislama, Vanuatu's national language—proof that the local-first playbook travels. The mission behind all of it is simple: AI that serves every language so that the next era of technology does not ask Ghanaians to leave their languages at the door.
Akwaaba AI, Onukpa AI, and Sena AI are free to try today, and DigiAssist AI is open for businesses and partners.
