Infrastructure AI · launching January 1, 2027

The intelligence layer for African languages, and the truth.

Orinla is infrastructure AI: fake news detection and bidirectional speech and text, built natively for English, Pidgin, Yorùbá, Igbo, Hausa, and Arabic. One model family, made to be built on.

Two hard problems. One model family.

Global AI wasn't built for our languages or our information ecosystem. Orinla is, from the ground up.

01 / Truth infrastructure

Fake news detection

Orinla reads a claim and returns a credibility score with a full signal breakdown: content analysis, source reputation, and fact-check evidence, weighted into a single 0.0–1.0 score.

  • Credibility scoring tuned to African news, media, and context
  • Transparent signals, never just a black-box verdict
  • Asynchronous by design: scoring never blocks publishing
score: 0.0 – 1.0signal breakdownmodel-versioned
02 / Language infrastructure

Bidirectional speech & text

Translate and converse in both directions across six languages, as text or as speech. Speak Yorùbá, read it in English. Type in Pidgin, hear it in Hausa.

  • English ⇄ Pidgin ⇄ Yorùbá ⇄ Igbo ⇄ Hausa ⇄ Arabic, any direction
  • Speech-to-text, text-to-speech, and speech-to-speech
  • Every language direction validated by native speakers before release
text ⇄ textspeech ⇄ textspeech ⇄ speech

// built as infrastructure

Designed to be built on.

Orinla isn't a feature. It's a platform layer. The same principles that make it safe to run inside a social platform make it ready for anyone to build on.

One model family

A shared multilingual backbone with task-specific adapters: credibility, translation, and speech scale independently, never blocking each other.

Private by design

Content is processed, scored, and discarded. Nothing you send is stored by the model or used for training without explicit, separate consent.

Resident where it must be

Nigerian data is processed in Nigeria and EU data stays in the EU where the law requires it. Residency is enforced, not promised.

Versioned & accountable

Every response carries its model version. Every model ships with an evaluation report, native-speaker review, and a rollback path.

Big Naija Gist runs on Orinla

The verified, low-toxicity social platform rooted in Nigerian culture uses Orinla for its authenticity badges, translations, and safety layer, the first of many platforms to build on it.
