English, Afrikaans, Zulu, Xhosa, Sotho — trained natively. No clumsy translation layers. Matches how Stellenbosch really talks.
🔒
POPIA-compliant

Languages

Your Stellenbosch chatbot speaks every language your customers do

South Africa has 11 official languages. Global chatbot platforms only support a handful well. We train yours natively across all SA languages — so a Zulu-speaking customer in Stellenbosch gets a reply that sounds local, not translated.
