@software_guy did it again! Check out the flutter SDK for Addis AI. God i love this community! @b1n1yamBuilds

ቋንቋ እንደ ተፈጥሮ የራሱ የሆነ ሪትምና እስትንፋስ አለው። Language, like nature, has its own rhythm and breath. Made with Addis AI (Voice: Yohannes) 😊addisassistant.com #contentCreation@kalBuilds

Most of you picked content creation and customer support, so I’m putting together a few demos around both. But I’m still curious about the 8 people who chose “something completely different” What are you trying to build? @kalBuilds

Same words. Four voices. Which one would you use? @kalBuilds

Wish I could’ve been there today. This looks so good. Would’ve loved to see what the teams were building on top of Addis AI.

Quite a lot of local solutions being built on top of Addis AI, solving real problems. Honestly, this feels special.

Payment verification is currently unavailable due to an issue with the bank’s system. If you’ve made a payment, please DM us your receipt and the email linked to your Addis AI account. We’ll verify it and add the credits manually. We’ll update you once the system is back online. @addisassisstantai

I’ll be joining the Cursor AI Hackathon Ethiopia as a judge on July 25–26 at Adwa Museum. Looking forward to meeting the teams, seeing how they approach real problems, and reviewing what they build over the two days. @b1n1yamBuilds

Finally sharing the Addis AI SDK. We’ve been working on this for the past few months, and I’m so glad it’s finally out. Looking forward to seeing what developers build with it. NPM: https://www.npmjs.com/package/addisai PIP: https://pypi.org/project/addisai

Today we're releasing the Addis AI SDK. Build with speech, voice, language models and translation APIs using a single package. Built for developers building products in African languages from day one. 😊docs.addisassistant.com @addisAssistantAI

In @ScholarXIV we have 11 sources to get research and scientific literature, OpenAlex, Semantic Scholar, Crossref, Europe PMC, PubMed, Clinical Trials, arXiv bioRxiv, medRxiv, chemRxiv, ChinaXiv, RussiaXiv... do you know how many papers we give you access to in just one search?? 819,498,820 Papers! Removing some overlaps it would come to 400M resources. Now in Ethiopia out of the ~138M people only ~12M can communicate in English meaning a large portion of literate Ethiopians can't even understand or use any of these accurate results we provide. Through our partnership with @AddisAssistantAI and some other partnerships we're going to bridge that gap! Research and accurate AI responses aren't for researchers and advanced users, everyone everyday everywhere should get that.

I think we underestimate how much simply changing the interface changes who can actually access information. @Kalbuilds

OpenAI says its models escaped a highly isolated testing environment, gained access to the internet, and hacked Hugging Face while trying to cheat on a cybersecurity evaluation. The models exploited a zero-day vulnerability, stole credentials, and found their way into Hugging Face’s production infrastructure, all autonomously. (OpenAI) Anyway, try sleeping peacefully tonight after reading that. @b1n1yamBuilds

We gave ElevenLabs, Google, OpenAI, and our model the same Amharic customer support script. Three of them can't greet a customer. 57 million people can hear which three. Sound on. @b1n1yamBuilds

I've been listening to these voices for months, so I already have my favorites. Now I'm curious what you'll create with them. If you end up making something you're proud of, send it my way. I'll repost a few of my favorites here over the next few days. And I might quietly send some Addis AI credits to the ones that genuinely surprise me. 🙂 addisassistant.com @Kalbuilds

Today we shipped Addis AI Voices 2, with 28 production voices in Amharic and Afaan Oromo. Voice AI businesses can actually use with their customers, in their own language, not just another demo. Really proud of what the team delivered. addisassistant.com @KalBuilds

@atocodes has been quietly building some really interesting projects, but the Equb Manager app is my favorite, especially because of the story behind it. I thought it was just another Equb app. Turns out it’s built for Equb ሰብሳቢዎች, works offline, and came from months of sitting with actual Equb managers, listening to their feedback, and evolving his earlier expense-tracking app. When I tell you @atocodes is dedicated, I’m not exaggerating. I really love seeing this kind of hard work in our community, and I’m glad the product is getting the attention it deserves. Can’t wait to see where this goes. @equbmanager

Things you learn for free when running CPT on 40 GPUs: 3 hours of sleep is still sleep. 3 AI agents checking the training every 30 minutes. And somehow, you still feel the need to check the loss yourself anyway 😂 This will probably run for close to a week. Best part is, it’s all going open source. Makes all of this worth it. @b1n1yamBuilds
