Chatabubble is a language-learning product aimed at African languages that most software ignores. These are languages with few speakers online, little training data and a real risk of falling out of everyday use.

The public-interest case is simple: a language survives by being spoken. Tools that make a language easy to practise every day are one of the few levers technology has on that problem. It is a lever worth pulling well rather than loudly.

I worked on it as a software engineer.
