Hi, I'm Somto Ogbe

AISHA is Nigeria's first agentic AI health companion and I built it entirely from scratch. Rather than following a fixed script, AISHA reasons through conversations autonomously, asking the right follow up questions, checking medication safety, and referring users to care when it matters, all without any human in the loop. It lives entirely on WhatsApp so there is nothing to download and no barrier to getting started. For users who cannot read or type, it works through voice in Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, Pidgin and English. Since launching, AISHA has reached all 36 Nigerian states, served over 51,000 users and handled more than 246,000 health interactions.

Proxmaq is an Open source on a mission to make everyday life more accessible for blind and visually impaired people through AI. I joined as a volunteer AI engineer and built three modules that are now live in their ProxVision mobile app. The first lets blind users recognise the faces of loved ones and friends through their phone camera in real time. The second identifies and counts currency notes and coins so users can handle money independently. The third is a smart navigation module that detects obstacles and gives spatial guidance to help users move through their environment with confidence. All three shipped to the Google Play Store and the app supports audio output in over 100 languages.
