02 · why yakal

Speaks your language

Every studio works natively in Amharic, Afaan Oromoo, and Tigrinya — prompts, answers, voice, and documents. Not English with a translation afterthought.

Pay in Birr

Top up with Telebirr from the console. Prepaid wallet, VAT-free for individuals, credits never expire — no cards, no subscriptions, no surprises.

Honest models

A small, curated set — GLM 5.3 and DeepSeek for chat, the world's top-ranked models for images. No model zoo to get lost in, no markup games.

03 · product
console & studio

One console. Four studios.

A focused workspace for conversation, images, voice, and transcription — nothing you don't need. Every studio shares your wallet, your history, and your language.
