CORE ENGINE

Voicebots

Automated voice agents for collections, support, onboarding, and telemarketing in 12 African languages. Seamless deployment across telephony and mobile protocols.

CX Intelligence

Transcribe, score, and analyse 100% of calls. Detect compliance gaps, churn risk, and fraud signals autonomously.

Sahara ASR + TTS

Africa-first ASR and TTS for accents, local languages, and financial terms. First bilingual code-switching across 12 languages.

Voice Banking

Natural-language banking across apps, IVRs, ATMs, kiosks, and low-connectivity channels. Let customers speak to move money.

Voice Verify

Voice authentication and biometrics for onboarding, account recovery, and high-risk transactions. Bulletproof security.

From retail customer banking to global non-profit community outreach.

Independently benchmarked

Gates Foundation-commissioned benchmarking: Sahara outperformed on 5 of 7 Nigerian languages vs. Gemini and Meta ASR.

Deployed across active markets

Powering voice interfaces for Carbon, ARM, Branch across 6 markets.

Where global models struggle with African names, numbers, mixed languages, and real-world audio, Intron is purpose-built for the financial workflows where accuracy moves revenue, risk, and customer trust. On Pidgin, the difference is not a margin. Meta’s Omnilingual ASR and Gemini-3.0-flash return no measurable output at all. Sahara transcribes it cleanly.

Deeper customer service, built for workflows

We map voice pipelines onto your business core without writing custom models.

Collections & Repayment

Reminders, promise-to-pay, and rescheduling handled autonomously in the borrower’s language. Keep communication lines empathetic and scalable.

24/7 Customer Support

Balance checks, simple transfers, and frequently asked account questions resolved end-to-end on high-volume standard telephone queues.

Outbound Growth

Qualify inbound leads instantly, run activation campaigns, reactivate dormant signups, and route high-intent calls to human account managers.

Build your own voice bot on Sahara-v2.5

12 African languages, code-switching, native TTS, and noise-resilient ASR — all accessible via a unified simple API with low-latency endpoints.
