BNI Côte d’Ivoire · Client project

A banking application built and deployed with BNI.

Souba developed a mobile banking application with BNI’s teams. The application was then deployed on the bank’s infrastructure so its teams could test it.

Internal testing began in September 2026. This stage comes before the application’s public launch.

A griot tells a story to two young men; subtitles in Bambara and French.

Collaborative research · 2022

Helping AI understand Bambara, too.

More than 50 hours of stories recorded with more than 30 griots to train a Bambara speech-recognition model.

The project involved Google Research, RobotsMali, AMALAN, INALCO and the Rochester Institute of Technology, and was presented at the Deep Learning Indaba.

This is speech-recognition research, distinct from the languages currently offered in our agents.
