Our Mission
EncyclopedAI aims to democratize access to quality education across Africa by leveraging artificial intelligence (AI). Recognizing that many students face challenges in attending school regularly due to disabilities, geographic distance, or lack of resources, the platform will offer an AI-powered learning experience tailored to diverse African curricula and available entirely offline. The goal is to ensure every student, regardless of circumstance, has access to learning materials, interactive quizzes, and support — even without Wi-Fi.

Coming SoonTechnical Overview: Running AI Models Offline
Running complex AI models offline requires optimization. EncyclopedAI will use smaller, open-source models that are optimized to run on lower-resource devices.
Local Deployment of Open-Source Models
EncyclopedAI will deploy smaller models like GPT-J and GPT-NeoX, which can be fine-tuned for educational purposes and run offline with sufficient hardware.
pip install transformers torch
from transformers import pipeline
# Load a local model pipeline
nlp = pipeline('text-generation', model='EleutherAI/gpt-neo-125M')
# Example usage:
print(nlp("The laws of physics state that", max_length=50))Fine-Tuning Models for Specific Tasks
We will fine-tune models for specific educational needs, including curriculum-based learning, Socratic questioning, and localized context.
Accessibility Features
EncyclopedAI will be fully accessible, offering features like text-to-speech, offline functionality, and customizable interfaces to fit students’ preferences.
- Text-to-Speech and Speech-to-Text: Advanced voice recognition will allow users to hear content and respond verbally in various languages.
- Offline Functionality: Offline access will be prioritized for students without reliable internet connections.
- Customizable Interfaces: Students can adjust text sizes, contrast, and layout to meet their accessibility needs.
