Responds in Sheng', Swahili, or English automatically
Lumi detects the language you write in and replies in kind, whether that's Swahili,
English, or Sheng'. No settings to change. Just ask your question and get an answer in your language.
On the web version, tap the mic, ask your question out loud, and Lumi responds with
a rich formatted answer — and can read it back to you. Useful when your hands are busy or reading is hard.
Set a reminder in plain language, get nudged when it matters
On web, just tell Lumi: "Remind me to take my medication at 8pm daily" or
"Alert me 2 days before school fees are due." Lumi schedules it and follows up automatically.
