WhatsApp AI assistant for Senegalese SMEs — Wolof/French, voice notes, RAG. Source private.
# Sunu Ndimbal Chatbot
Senegalese small and medium businesses run customer support and sales conversations almost entirely on WhatsApp, but most chatbot platforms are built for English or French text alone — they can't handle Wolof, and they can't handle voice notes, which is how a large share of customers actually message. That gap either forces a business to hire someone to answer every WhatsApp message manually, or it means messages go unanswered.
Sunu Ndimbal Chatbot is a WhatsApp-native AI assistant that detects and replies in French or Wolof automatically, including full support for voice notes — a customer can send a voice message and receive a spoken reply back. Answers are grounded in the business's own documents through retrieval-augmented generation, and subscription billing runs through the mobile payment methods Senegalese customers actually use.
