# Salmart Intelligence — Speak, Don't Type Salmart Intelligence is a Meta-powered, voice-first AI assistant built during the Meta AI Developer Hackathon 2026, inside our pre-existing Nigerian social-commerce marketplace, Salmart. ## The Problem Most apps assume everyone can read, type, and navigate menus. That locks out elderly traders, first-time smartphone users, and people with limited literacy. Even creating an account or buying something becomes frustrating. ## The Solution Instead of a chatbot trapped in one screen, Salmart Intelligence lives behind a global microphone button available across the marketplace. Users can: - Register with voice + Nigerian phone only, no email needed - Recover access by speaking, not resetting passwords alone - Discover products by touching pictures — say "I want to buy", touch what you want, say "save it" - Sell by snapping a photo and saying the price - Talk to sellers and get voice guidance through checkout The assistant understands intent in English, Pidgin, Yoruba, Hausa, and Igbo, keeps app context, and connects reasoning to real actions. ## Built with Meta Muse Spark for reasoning, Meta Voice Transcribe for speech-to-text, Muse Voice for speech responses. ## Safety by design Passwords never go to the AI model. No action is reported as successful until the app confirms it. ## My Vision Access to the digital economy should not depend on your ability to navigate an app. Technology should adapt to people, not the other way around.
