Researching the Future of AI Access: FOON x 080Labs
01/
Together with FOON, we’re exploring how affordable AI-powered earbuds can deliver toll-free, local-language intelligence directly to underserved communities.
02/
Smartphones and data remain out of reach for millions.
Earbuds are affordable, wearable, and widely accessible.
By embedding 080Labs’ toll-free AI platform into FOON earbuds, we can deliver instant, voice-first AI access in Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo, Pidgin, and more.
The Why?
This research is about testing how people use voice AI in their daily lives when it’s just one tap away — no internet, no smartphone.
