The challenge

A stealth venture set out to build a search experience that truly understands African languages, dialects and local context , something global engines handle poorly. Specifics are under NDA.

Our approach

We're engineering a multilingual retrieval and ranking stack: embeddings tuned for low-resource languages, a hybrid keyword + semantic index, and an LLM answer layer with strict grounding and citations , all on autoscaling cloud infrastructure.

The outcome

Now in private beta , sub-300ms semantic results across 20+ languages over a 100M+ document index, with answer quality that consistently beats general-purpose engines on local queries.
