"I've been asked multiple times, 'Why are you creating a Moroccan AI?' Today I want to share the story behind Sawalni, the first AI in history to speak our beautiful Moroccan Darija, with all of you."

"A priority for me was to make Sawalni feel like it truly understands us Moroccans, our quirks, our traditions and our unique way of life." "Our country is rich in culture, with a history extending over a thousand years, yet we have so little information available in our own language. It doesn't feel right, does it?"

"Now, imagine having an AI buddy who's not just another tech gadget but a catalyst for prosperity. That's Sawalni for you. It's designed to help every Moroccan, regardless of their background or education, to improve in what they do. It's about making the world's knowledge accessible to every Moroccan, on our own terms."

"For me, this all hits close to home. I grew up loving computers, but I was always limited by language. Now, thanks to Sawalni and its ground-breaking LLM technology, we've conquered the challenge of understanding and responding to Moroccan Darija nuances. Now, we have an AI tool that delivers knowledge in Moroccan, while feeling like you're just chatting with a friend."
