The Problem
Nigerians face a paradox: there's more news than ever, but understanding what matters has never been harder. Traditional media is fragmented, social media is noisy, and busy professionals don't have time to piece together what's happening.
Our Approach
NairaSage uses AI to:
- Aggregate news from trusted Nigerian sources
- Extract key facts and filter out noise
- Deliver a 5-minute daily brief via Telegram
- Allow users to ask follow-up questions
What We've Learned
- Telegram works better than apps for this use case (no install friction, works on low-end phones)
- Users prefer brevity over comprehensiveness
- Trust is earned through accuracy, not volume
