Yiya Solutions' AI-powered learning program for hard-to-reach learners

🤖 This week, our Co-Founder and Product lead, Richard Tibbles, will be in Nairobi presenting at the AI-for-Education.org Summit 2025. During this summit, educators, tech innovators, multilateral agencies and funders are exploring how AI can meaningfully improve learning outcomes across Sub-Saharan Africa. It’s a great opportunity to connect with others working to make AI inclusive, innovative, and impactful for education.

⚡ Zap — The Moment of Change Schools are no longer just teaching with technology — they’re learning through intelligent collaboration. AI is evolving from a solo assistant to a collective of agents that think, learn, and act together. 💭 Imagine this: A tutoring agent that adapts to every learner. A grading agent giving instant, transparent feedback. An admin agent streamlining every workflow. All speaking one digital language — connected through the Agent2Agent (A2A) protocol. 🔥 Enter Khula GPT While A2A connects machines, Khula GPT connects minds. It’s the Ubuntu agent — a system designed to grow human potential by creating conversation, not isolation. Khula embodies multi-agent intelligence with a human heart: 🤝 Drafting thought-leadership content. 💬 Nurturing meaningful dialogue. 🌱 Building networks where collective wisdom thrives. Together, A2A and Khula GPT form the foundation of Africa’s multi-agent learning future. ⚙️ Siya Funda (We Learn) And this is where it all comes alive. Siya Funda isn’t just a platform — it’s a movement. A living ecosystem where human educators, AI tutors, and administrative agents collaborate — each playing their part in one Ubuntu-driven loop of learning. Siya Funda uses the A2A protocol for seamless agent interaction, powered by Khula GPT for authentic engagement and storytelling. It’s the world’s first community-led, multi-agent education system built on African values. ✨ The Vision Imagine a classroom where: Students get personalized AI support in real time. Teachers focus on mentoring, not marking. Schools gain insight from data that speaks to each learner’s journey. That’s the Siya Funda vision — a future where AI doesn’t replace teachers; it empowers communities. 🌍 The Call Education’s future is multi-agent, Ubuntu-powered, and African-led. The question is — are we ready to learn together? 💬 How do you see Siya Funda — with A2A and Khula GPT — reshaping what “learning together” means for Africa’s schools? #AI #A2A #Khula #SiyaFunda #Ubuntu #EdTech #FutureOfLearning #AIinAfrica #Innovation #Digitalisation #DrVJMaseko

From Theory to Creation: The Next Leap in AI Literacy Every parent, every teacher, and every policymaker now faces one big question: How do we give young people the skills — not just the knowledge — to thrive in an AI-powered world? Because learning about AI is no longer enough. Our children must learn to create with it. That’s why, at Kasahorow: AI Paddi Literacy App (launching Q1 2026), we’re reimagining what AI education means — from passive learning to hands-on creation. Here’s how: For Learners – We’re turning curiosity into creativity. With tools like the AI Creation Studio and Podcast Generator, learners can experiment, remix, and publish their own work — transforming abstract AI concepts into real-world outcomes. For Teachers – No more starting from scratch. Our AI Review Curriculum and ready-made teaching guides ensure you can deliver future-focused lessons confidently — without losing precious prep time. For Parents – Finally, visibility and confidence. Link your child’s account to track progress in real time, celebrate milestones, and see their growth in skills that actually matter for the future. We’re not just building an app — we’re building a generation fluent in AI creation, not just consumption. A generation that doesn’t wait for the future… but helps design it. Q1 2026 — The beginning of Nigeria’s AI-native generation. #AI #EducationTechnology #FutureOfWork #EdTech #AIForAfrica #DigitalSkills #AILiteracy #InnovationInEducation

Can AI truly bridge the global divide — or will it deepen it? From rural Uganda to urban Nigeria, AI is emerging as an unlikely equalizer. Students, doctors, and entrepreneurs across developing nations are using tools like ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot to access knowledge once locked behind borders and privilege. In Kenya, AI-assisted clinics reduced medical errors by 16%. In Nigeria, students using chatbots improved English scores equivalent to two extra years of schooling. The promise is real — but so are the obstacles. AI could become the mobile revolution of our time — democratizing access and bypassing old barriers — yet three hurdles remain: - Connectivity: Internet access is still a luxury in much of the Global South. - Capability: Digital literacy and language gaps limit how AI is used. - Integration: Tools work only when tied to real institutions — schools, hospitals, and local economies. History warns us that technology alone doesn’t close gaps — human systems do. If AI is to make the poor world richer, it must go beyond data and algorithms to empower people, businesses, and governments to act differently.

Technology has always promised equality — but without access, education, and trust, it risks repeating the same old divide. Real impact begins when AI becomes a tool of empowerment, not dependence.

Innovation means nothing if it leaves people behind. The real measure of AI’s success will be how well it uplifts the communities still waiting to be included the human side of the digital revolution.

AI could be the next mobile revolution for the developing world. But three hurdles stand in the way: Connectivity, Capability, and Integration. Technology alone doesn't close gaps—human systems do. #AIForDevelopment hashtag #DigitalInclusion hashtag #GlobalInnovation hashtag #FutureOfWork hashtag #TechnologyForGood hashtag #HumanCapital hashtag #hrcorebridgeventure

🤖 Microsoft just launched Mico - their new AI companion that's everything Clippy wasn't. But here's what caught my attention... Mico isn't just another chatbot with a face. It's Microsoft's strategic move toward making AI genuinely collaborative rather than intrusive. The floating cartoon character can shift into "study mode" with glasses and offers Socratic tutoring - a game-changer for education. 💡 For Africa, this represents a massive opportunity. Imagine Mico adapted for local languages and educational contexts - helping students in rural Uganda access personalized tutoring, or supporting small business owners in Lagos with AI-powered insights that feel approachable, not intimidating. The key insight? Microsoft learned that AI adoption isn't just about capability - it's about trust and cultural fit. In Africa, where human relationships drive business and learning, an AI that feels collaborative rather than replacement-focused could accelerate digital transformation across sectors. This reminds me of conversations I've had with educators across East Africa who want AI tools that enhance rather than replace human connection. Mico's design philosophy - useful but not sycophantic - aligns perfectly with that vision. 💬 What's your take? Could personality-driven AI assistants like Mico help bridge the digital divide in African education and business? Let's discuss how we can ensure these innovations serve our continent's unique needs. #ArtificialIntelligence #AfricaTech #AIForGood #FutureOfWork #DigitalAfrica

“Africans shouldn’t just be users of technology—they should be authors of its future.” Barbara Osiro’s work organizing Africa AI Week 2025 and driving AI literacy across the continent reveals what happens when we redesign education for actual conditions rather than ideal ones. In the latest issue of TAIS, Barbara shares: → How people moved from “AI is not for me” to teaching AI basics to their peers,identity transformation, not just skill acquisition → Why teachers localizing AI in Swahili aren’t translating, they’re determining what AI literacy means in their context → The “quiet wins” that matter most: educators becoming trainers, participants influencing policy decisions → How to ensure informed consent in low-literacy environments where digital infrastructure is limited → Why sectors like governance and gender-based violence remain underamplified in data conversations Her message for change-makers: You don’t need perfection or big budgets to start. Practice. Ask who’s missing from the table and invite them in. Link to the full conversation in comments. #AILiteracy #TAIS #WomenInTech #DigitalInclusion
