Quick answer. GeraVoice is a voice-first gateway that lets anyone book a doctor, order food, hail a ride, send a payment, or hire a cleaner by speaking — in their own language, over a phone call or low-bandwidth data, no app installation. It is not shipping today. Public design is underway; we are targeting pilot launches in Armenia, Kenya and Nepal through 2027, general availability by 2030.

The product in a paragraph

Most of the world’s population will never touch a smartphone app with fluency. They will interact with services through voice — phone calls, voice notes, voice-enabled kiosks. GeraVoice is a voice-native gateway to the entire Gera Services portfolio, built for exactly those users.

The entry points

  • A free local phone number in each country — "call GeraVoice".
  • A WhatsApp / Signal / Telegram voice-note interface — send a voice memo, get a voice reply.
  • USSD fallback for feature phones that cannot carry voice data.
  • Embedded SDK for third-party voice-enabled kiosks.

What you can do by voice

Book a GeraClinic consultation. Order food on GeraEats. Hire a GeraHome cleaner. Send money via GeraCash. Hail a GeraRide. Ask a health question. All by speaking.

The languages

We are starting with: English, Armenian, Georgian, Swahili, Amharic, Hausa, Yoruba, Bengali, Hindi, Urdu, Nepali, Khmer, Sinhala, Arabic, Spanish. Pilot priority is determined by underserved market size, not by familiarity.

What GeraVoice is not

  • Not a call centre. There are humans in the loop for escalation but the primary interface is AI.
  • Not English-first. Every language is a first-class tier, not a translation of English.
  • Not a smartphone app that happens to support voice. Voice is the canonical surface; text is a fallback.

Timeline

  • Q3 2026 — public design drafts; reference STT/TTS stack selection.
  • 2027 — Armenia pilot, then Kenya, then Nepal.
  • 2028 — expansion to 15 markets.
  • 2030 — general availability across 50+ countries.

Why this, why us

The Gera Services portfolio already operates across the countries we want to reach. GeraVoice is the voice-front-door for every Gera product. Building it means every Gera vertical becomes accessible to populations who could not use an app-first interface.

How to follow along

Design posts here. Research drafts at /research. The waitlist is open. We especially want to hear from people working on ASR for under-resourced languages — that is the single biggest technical risk.
