Cameroonian innovator Zuo Bruno has built SkyDew, a platform delivering AI through simple SMS and USSD codes — meaning millions of Africans can now access AI without internet, apps or smartphones.
A farmer in Mali can text in Bambara about diseased crops and receive instant guidance.
A student in Nigeria can dial *247 # for free math help.
A health worker in Kenya can run a Swahili AI bot answering hundreds of questions daily.
The idea was born during Cameroon’s 93-day internet blackout, when millions suddenly lost access to digital services.
Today, SkyDew says it is active across all 54 African countries — turning ordinary mobile phones into AI tools.
“Grandma just got AI” — no WiFi, no smartphone, just a text message.
The SecureAfric page sat down with Zuo Bruno to discuss how Africa is building tech solutions designed for African realities.
