Knowledge shared, knowledge paid for.
Send what you know in your own language, by voice or by text. When companies use what you shared, the system records it and pays you. You get a statement on WhatsApp showing every payment and what it was for.
Built for your workflow.
WhatsApp, voice or text
Send a voice note in isiZulu, isiXhosa, Sesotho or Ndebele. The platform captures what you said and adds it to your record. You get a confirmation back, in the same language.
- Four Southern African languages supported
- Voice notes work as well as typed messages
- Confirmation message after every contribution

Send the word "balance" and you get your current earnings. Once a month a statement arrives showing every entry that was used and what it earned.

Paid into MoMo
