And I think the fundamental insight that we had Avula was because these large language model systems are becoming more and more much cheaper to operate and much more accessible. Why don't we put these at the service of African SME?

    Just finished listening to an insightful podcast on global equities, the latest trends in AI capex, and, most notably, Iona Dent's perspective on emerging markets (EM). EM, with its diverse range of countries, is drawing attention again after a period of being considered "uninvestible." Highly recommend tuning in for those interested in these timely topics!
