ZEKI ZEKA INCLUSIVE AI PLATFORM
Zeki Zeka was a generative AI platform that can directly be used either from WhatsApp or SMS. I was the product manager of the project that we developed under the umbrella of Anonve Technologies.
The target group was the tail end of the innovation lifecycle; “the late adopters” which would otherwise not adapt to the AI revolution for another couple years. We define them as lower
tech-affinity 55+ age and primary school educated people in Turkey.
Our approach was to provide an extremely familiar experience using WhatsApp and SMS.
No app downloads. No need to register.
The product was awarded $150,000 in Azure credits, with the alignment to United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, Reduced Inequalities.
