The application uses a prompting technique called Translation Augmented Generation to generate culturally nuanced images from prompts in Yoruba, Fon, and Dendi languages. It also answers questions related to agriculture, tourism, and current events in these languages. The solution leverages existing language models and APIs, saving costs compared to training new models from scratch. It addresses challenges in cultural preservation, sustainable agriculture, and tourism by providing AI visuals and information in local languages, aiding communication and showcasing Benin's unique heritage to drive sustainable practices.
