WETECH takes an AI gender-violence reporting app into 11 Far North communes

WETECH — WETECH carried Alert GBV Lite, an Android app for AI gender-based violence reporting, into 11 communes of Cameroon's Far North via an outreach drive from 1 to 27 June 2026 with associations ADELPA and ALVFF. Its AI companion for survivors runs psychosocial orientation and structured reporting beside a geolocated SOS button capturing evidence mid-incident, a live service directory, anonymised secure case reporting, offline essentials, and French, English, Pidgin and Fulfuldé screens; without a smartphone or data, USSD code #080# takes a report. Project UNJP/CMR/061/EC, funded by DG ECHO and run by UNFPA Cameroon with FAO, covers it.

Waspito puts an AI health assistant on WhatsApp for Cameroon

Waspito — Waspito opened AHIM, the African Health Intelligent Model, as an AI health assistant answering 24/7 on WhatsApp in English and French from any country. The Africa-focused platform channels queries, laboratory orders, prescription and record uploads, cover purchases and doctor referral through that WhatsApp health chatbot, while stressing AHIM supplants no clinician: consultation, diagnosis and treatment stay with qualified physicians on its roster. Entry costs nothing; billing falls on whichever care is taken up, from 3,000 FCFA with a general practitioner and 6,000 FCFA with a specialist doctor. Begun 2020 in Cameroon, Waspito reports its own totals: more than 1 million users, over 250,000 patients served, upwards of 2,000 licensed doctors.

MINESEC puts 250 AI-built lab simulations into Cameroon's secondary schools

MINESEC — MINESEC assembled over 250 bilingual AI lab simulations in under a month, free and runnable offline, unveiling the secondary-school programme at the Centre AIDL on 17 August 2026. Muluh Godson, National Pedagogical Inspector for Computer Science, gave those figures; Chemistry, Biology, Arts and Letters and Industrial Techniques staff ran demonstrations, and Inspector General Adjaba Biwoli Jean Pierre cast the purpose as learning made interactive, practical, reachable. Minister Nalova Lyonga cautioned that AI stays a tool, pressing structuring, reasoned use and prompting, and asking teachers to raise pupils as creators. Cameroon aims these AI-generated science experiments at schools holding no physical laboratory.

Cova puts AI pricing into Cameroon's compulsory motor insurance

Cova — Cova switched on AI motor insurance pricing for compulsory cover in Cameroon on 26 February 2026: film the vehicle's carte grise, or a lodging receipt, and the regulated tariff returns in one click, renewal premiums prepayable remotely. Reading fiscal horsepower, use and energy type off the document against the standing tariff grid cuts keying mistakes and compresses sign-up times, by Cova's own account. Collection runs through mobile payment aggregators Maviance, UFIPAY and MaMoni Pay, plus Express Union Microfinance and MaMoni Finances counters. Managing director Virginie Pouna Ngomi framed the automated premium quotation as cover simpler and more dependable, licensed brokers and partner insurers undisplaced; Cova holds a broker licence in the CIMA zone and came via the BimaLab Africa accelerator.

    Method and sources

    Every entry on this page is a named organisation putting AI to work in a real job, taken from the State of Applied AI record. Each one is traced to the report it came from and dated, and where a figure is the organisation’s own the entry says so rather than presenting it as an independent result. Readiness, ecosystem and policy figures, where shown, are attributed on the card to the body that published them.

    The record is maintained continuously by the Industrial Research Unit of the Straits Institute for Applied AI: entries are added as they are found and verified, not on a schedule, and nothing is published without an open source behind it. It currently holds 1114 entries across 249 countries.
