Talk Am
Built at Meta Global AI Developer Hackathon · Oct 26, 2026 · Remote

Talk Am turns a story written the way Nigerians actually talk (Nigerian English and Pidgin, with Igbo words mixed in) and the creator's own voice note into a short vertical video for WhatsApp, TikTok and Reels. Market traders, small businesses and local storytellers in Nigeria already sell and share through voice notes. Talk Am turns that same voice note into a video, with no editing skills or expensive tools needed. Their exact words and their real voice stay in the video. What makes it different is Cultural Eye, an agent that checks every picture before it is used. AI pictures can look beautiful but be wrong for the story. Cultural Eye first looks at the picture blind, without the scene description, and says what it sees. It then compares that with what the story intended, and the code decides PASS or REDO. If a picture fails, Talk Am improves the prompt, draws it again and keeps the best version. Generate. Check. Correct.
