Suppple unveils Africa’s first conversational AI for multilingual information search & access

Born from a start-up vision to solve pressing digital challenges, Suppple has grown into an established player in the African tech landscape. With its recent provisional listing on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, Suppple underscores its commitment to delivering innovative digital solutions tailored to Africa’s unique needs.

At the Government Transformation Expo, Suppple brought its pioneering spirit and expertise to the forefront, addressing the critical topic of collaboration between dynamic tech companies and government to drive public sector innovation. 

Leveraging its experience rooted in start-up origins, Suppple introduces seeek.ai - a multilingual conversational AI  crafted to democratise information access across the continent.

“Our journey from start-up origins has shaped our vision for seeek.ai, bringing a unique perspective that serves local needs with world-class innovation,” says Prof. Eldrid Jordaan, CEO at Suppple: “seeek.ai is built for Africa, with the adaptability and insight to elevate digital transformation on a regional scale.”

An AI platform designed for Africa

seeek.ai is designed to provide a more intuitive and conversational experience, one that feels like a real dialogue rather than a typical online search. Users can receive accurate, real-time answers in their preferred languages - including French, Swahili, Arabic, English, and five South African languages - making seeek.ai uniquely accessible across Africa’s diverse linguistic landscape.

Beyond individual use, Suppple envisions seeek.ai as a strategic asset for government collaboration, transforming complex information portals, such as government websites, into user-friendly, AI-enhanced experiences. “With seeek.ai, government bodies can now bridge the digital divide, providing transparent and accessible information to millions of people,” Jordaan explains. “The multilingual capabilities set this technology apart from any other solution available today. Africa is now at the forefront of technological innovation - long gone are the days when Africans were mere consumers of technology. Today, we are creating solutions with a global impact.”

Suppple's commitment for Africa's digital evolution

Founded in 2022, Suppple operates with dual headquarters in London and Cape Town, and is dedicated to making high-quality information accessible to Africa’s digital population. Africa’s dynamic market - home to an estimated 650 million internet-connected mobile users and a projected population of 2.5 billion by 2050 - presents both a challenge and an opportunity, with rapid mobile penetration and a strong demand for localised digital solutions. By focusing on these specific needs, Suppple introduces seeek.ai as a platform that truly bridges information gaps and fosters digital inclusivity across the continent.

The future of learning and information discovery with seeek.ai

At its core, seeek.ai enriches learning and encourages critical thinking, inviting users to actively explore and engage with information in a meaningful way. Currently in beta, seeek.ai is already earning praise for its simplicity, speed, and accuracy. Designed with a mobile-first approach, it aligns with the needs of Africa’s rapidly growing mobile user base, especially Gen Z, who favour AI-driven tools for discovery and learning.

"With seeek.ai, we’re delivering technology that is purpose-built for Africa, bringing accessibility, education, and engagement to a new level,” says Jordaan. “Suppple is proud to create impactful solutions that start here in Africa, with the potential to resonate globally."

With the full launch set for Q1 2025, seeek.ai is poised to set a foundation for a new era of information accessibility and digital learning.
