ÒreAyò
Language intelligence for languages underserved by modern AI.
Starting with Yorùbá, Igbo and Hausa.
Built by SOLAT to provide foundational language capabilities that voice tools, assistants and applications can build on.

What is ÒreAyò?
Modern AI works well in a small number of languages. For most of the world's languages it works poorly or not at all. ÒreAyò is the foundational language work SOLAT is doing to close that gap, one language at a time.
It is a capability layer rather than a single application. Products built on top of it can speak, understand and respond in these languages, without each one having to solve the language problem again.
ÒreAyò is still being built. Previews and limited testing will open as the work reaches a standard worth putting in front of people.
What ÒreAyò's capabilities can enable
As ÒreAyò's language capabilities develop, they can enable experiences such as these.
Speech, not menus
Speech capabilities that let a product take questions and instructions by voice, instead of navigating menus and commands.
Real speech, not textbook speech
Built for accents, everyday expressions, and mixed-language conversation — how people actually speak, rather than an idealised form of the language.
Everyday usefulness
Language understanding good enough for explanations, reminders and simple help — expressed patiently, clearly and respectfully.
Reach beyond confident tech users
Products that work for parents, elders and first-time tech users — simple interactions that do not depend on technical setup or a second language.
Low-connectivity environments (intended, not yet built)
Unreliable internet and data costs are a design consideration for the work ahead, not a capability that exists today.
Where ÒreAyò starts
Current execution focus. Making one language work well is progress; adding another is not, by itself.
Yorùbá
Igbo
Hausa
Each language is developed carefully, for accuracy and natural use. ÒreAyò serves the languages the work has actually been done for.
Built for these languages, not adapted to them
Assumptions that hold for English — that tone marks and diacritics are decoration, that stripping them is harmless — do not hold here. Applying them corrupts the work.
ÒreAyò treats language and cultural understanding as the substance of the problem, not a translation step applied afterwards to English-shaped tools.
