SkyDew brings AI to every African phone through SMS and USSD — no internet, no smartphone, no app needed. If you have a signal, you have AI.
Our Customers
If you have a phone and a signal,
you have AI.
Every breakthrough in AI — GPT-4, Gemini, Claude — requires a smartphone and a broadband connection. Across Africa, hundreds of millions of people have neither. They're not excluded by choice. They're excluded by infrastructure.
SkyDew routes AI intelligence through the pipes that already exist — SMS and USSD — so it reaches anyone, anywhere, on any phone. A farmer in Mali. A student in Nigeria. A health worker in Kenya.
How we deliver itAn Android phone, a local SIM and your AI provider key. That's all it takes to bring AI to thousands of offline users.
Install the SkyDew app on any Android phone with a local SIM card. It becomes your SMS and USSD gateway — no special hardware required.
Add your API key from OpenAI, Gemini, Claude or DeepSeek. Set a system prompt in Swahili, Hausa, Amharic — any language your community speaks.
Anyone with a basic phone can now text your number or dial your shortcode and receive real, intelligent AI responses — instantly, in their language.
SkyDew is already reaching communities that broadband will never serve — through the phones they already have.
Rural health workers and community clinics use SkyDew to deliver symptom checking, maternal care guidance and medication reminders over basic text — reaching patients with no smartphone or internet.
"Our SMS health bot answers 200+ questions daily in Swahili. Communities we serve don't have smartphones — but they all have phones."
Community Health NGO, Kisumu, Kenya
Farmers text their crop problems and get instant AI advice on disease, weather, market prices and best practices — in their local language, on any feature phone, from anywhere in the field.
"I text the number and ask about my tomato leaves in Bambara. I get the right answer in seconds. My phone has no internet."
Smallholder Farmer, Ségou, Mali
Students across rural Africa dial USSD shortcodes or send SMS to access AI tutoring, homework help and exam prep — without a data plan, without a smartphone, without electricity.
"I dial *247# and ask my maths questions. The AI explains step by step. Data costs too much — but USSD is free on my network."
Secondary School Student, Enugu, Nigeria
Microfinance operators and fintechs use SkyDew to deliver AI-powered loan assessments, savings advice and account queries over SMS — serving customers who've never owned a bank account or a smartphone.
"I built an SMS loan calculator for unbanked customers in two days. It processes 400+ queries a week — no app, just SMS."

African languages our AI speaks
We deployed an SMS health bot serving 40,000 farmers in rural Kenya within a week. SkyDew handled the gateway, the AI, the language — all of it. Setup was shockingly simple.
Our customers in Kano speak Hausa and don't have smartphones. SkyDew gave them an AI loan assistant over USSD. First-month adoption exceeded all projections by 3×.
A spare Android phone, a local SIM and an OpenAI key. Three hours later we had a live AI tutoring service texting students across three provinces. Extraordinary.
