We spend so much time looking for strangers on the internet when the people who can help us are often living a few doors away.
That’s the problem I’m building Nearra to solve.
An electrician, a dietitian, a mould cleaner, an AI specialist, even a Vietnamese coffee maker. 52 skills are now listed on Nearra, with 28 items on the marketplace across 18 neighbourhoods.
Your neighbours can do more than you think → nearra.app
Today I am launching MyGOAT, an app for football debates.
Compare any two players. Vote for your favourite player for every award. React to each player in tonight's Champions League games. Then argue it out with other fans.
Who's your GOAT?

Manuals your customers can watch.

impressive 👏🏾
They said African languages were too fragmented, too complex and too commercially insignificant to build advanced AI for.
We disagreed. So we built it.
64 languages. 166 voices. 3 billion parameters. ONE model.
Today, we are unveiling STORM-Ensemble 3.0, the most capable multilingual speech synthesis model we have built at PlotWeaver.
From Yorùbá, Igbo, Hausa and Nigerian Pidgin to Swahili, Amharic, Wolof, Zulu, Xhosa and dozens more, STORM-Ensemble 3.0 generates speech across 64 languages, with 166 distinct speaker voices.
Every voice you hear is generated by our model, not a prerecorded sample.
But the real breakthrough isn't the numbers.
It's what becomes possible when this technology is in the hands of people who can build with it.
-African filmmakers distributing stories across languages.
-Banks and telcos serving customers in their mother tongues.
-Education platforms reaching more children.
-Developers building voice AI products without starting from scratch.
We are not building AI for African languages simply to prove it can be done. We are building the infrastructure to make our languages commercially viable at global scale.
Next week, I will be speaking at the Commonwealth Business Forum in Antigua about unlocking the Commonwealth's creative potential. This launch is a practical demonstration of that ambition.
Africa must not simply consume the future of AI. We must build, own and shape the infrastructure that powers it.
Watch the video. Listen to the voices. Imagine what's possible.
Introducing STORM-Ensemble 3.0.
PlotWeaver. Build Once. Speak Every Language.

Hey, We built MyGOAT so fans can settle the GOAT debate with real numbers: goals, trophies, Ballon d'Ors and a fan vote. Want a ready-made card of any matchup to post for your followers? mygoat-app.vercel.app
I rebuilt my apartment in 3D from a walkthrough video.
Tap any room or appliance. My MacBook and speaker already work from it for real: brightness, volume, music.
Smart plugs are next, so the kettle and lights can join in.

A few months ago Nearra was just an idea.
Today it's on the App Store and Google Play.
Google turned down our first try, so this one feels good.
Android folks, give it a go and tell me what you think.
Nearra is now on Google Play.
See the skills of the people right around you: tutors,
hairdressers, cleaners, handymen and more.
