In a significant boost for Africa’s tech ecosystem, Nigerian startup MYai Robotics has launched Curation AI, a revolutionary platform designed to authenticate digital content in real time. The system, developed primarily by Nigerian engineers, offers a solution to one of the internet’s most pressing challenges: the rapid spread of misinformation. With 80% of its engineering team based in Nigeria, the innovation highlights the country’s growing role in global AI development.
Unlike traditional AI tools that rely on static datasets, Curation AI operates in real time, verifying news articles, images, videos, audio, and social media content within seconds. The platform scans sources, detects manipulated media, flags synthetic content, and identifies AI-generated artefacts instantly, allowing users to make informed decisions before sharing or reacting online.
Kayode Aladesuyi, CEO of MYai Robotics, emphasised the human impact of the technology: “Truth has never been harder to find. Curation AI puts verification at everyone’s fingertips — empowering people to navigate the internet with confidence.” The tool is designed for everyday digital realities across Africa, where fake posts, manipulated videos, and political disinformation increasingly shape public opinion.
Beyond individual users, Curation AI also offers real-time public sentiment analysis, enabling brands, policymakers, and regulators to track live online conversations. Industries such as media, insurance, legal compliance, corporate communications, and elections are already piloting the platform to authenticate content, detect fabrications, and monitor narratives before misinformation spreads.
Built with African-informed design principles and locally grounded research, Curation AI represents a milestone in African participation in frontier AI innovation. The platform is now live and free for testing at curationai.ai, allowing consumers, creators, and businesses to upload content, run verification checks, and analyze sentiment instantly. With this launch, Nigeria is positioning itself at the forefront of the fight against online disinformation.
