AFE AI is a generative AI system tailored for the promotion of local languages and tourism in Benin. Developed with a user-centric approach, the app offers an intuitive interface for local communities or tourists to prompt and gather information related to culture and tourism in Benin. The APP is built to support local languages such as Yoruba, Fon, and Dendi, which are the most common languages in Benin. It also supports international languages such as English and French. At this stage the system support only Yoruba, English and French; but we are working on fine-tuning LLM models to extends the languages to Fon and Dendi. The technologies under this system are ChatGPT for text generation, Dalle for image generation, and google translate for text translation.
There are two ways to access the application. First, follow these steps to starting using the app:
- Clone the Git repository to your local machine:
