Carbon credit programs could transform indigenous communities, but the concepts were trapped in technical jargon and PDFs nobody reads. WWF needed to meet people where they are—on WhatsApp, in their language, without assuming any prior knowledge.

Traditional education methods failed because they assumed a baseline understanding that didn't exist. Community members needed patient, conversational guidance that could adapt to their questions and explain concepts multiple ways until they clicked.

The problem

Knowledge gap blocking participation

  • Language barriers: Technical documentation only available in English and formal Portuguese, not the local languages communities actually speak.

  • Literacy assumptions: PDF guides assumed reading fluency that many community members don't have, making self-education impossible.

  • Limited field resources: Not enough human educators to personally guide each community through the complex concepts of carbon credits and environmental economics.

Community members wanted to participate in carbon credit programs, but they couldn't understand what they were signing up for. That's not informed consent.

Use case01

Accessible AI Education

We designed an AI education agent that lives where the community lives: on WhatsApp. The agent detects the user's language and adapts its explanations to be culturally relevant and easy to understand.

Instead of dumping information, the AI checks for understanding at every step. If a user seems confused, it rephrases the concept using simpler analogies. If a question is too complex, it seamlessly escalates to a human educator, ensuring trust is maintained.
