Hello AI Lounge! I'm Pierre, founder of HOUETOR.
I believe AI should go beyond impressive demos. It should solve practical problems for people who don't necessarily have technical skills — and it should be designed for their reality: their phones, their connectivity, their payment systems.
That's what I'm building with HOUETOR — AI products designed for African markets first, not adapted afterwards:
- H.Hare — an AI agent for WordPress. Write one plain sentence, and it updates your site: a page, a product, an announcement. No code, no prompts to learn. WhatsApp-first, Mobile Money and FedaPay built in. 40,000 FCFA/year, with a 20-day free trial.
- H.Teach (beta) — an online classroom, 100% in the browser. A tutor watches up to 10 students at once, screens and webcams in a single view.
- Houetor Connect — our free plugin, published on WordPress.org in October 2026.
I'm early in the journey: learning by building, shipping, testing and improving. I'd love honest feedback, beta testers (WordPress owners, tutors, schools), and founders building for emerging markets to compare notes with.
One question I'd love to discuss with you:
How do we build AI products that are genuinely useful and affordable in emerging markets, rather than simply adapting products designed elsewhere?
Looking forward to learning from what you're all building. — Pierre, Founder, HOUETOR — houetor.com
