A directory built by talking, not typing

Talk about what you do.
We'll make you findable.

Most people with real skills — tailoring, repairs, welding, tutoring — never make it onto a map or a search result. Sokoni turns a short conversation into a profile someone nearby can find in seconds.

Text message

No smartphone? No data? No problem.

Sokoni also works over plain SMS on any basic phone — no app, no internet, no data bundle. Everything on the left is a live simulation of that exact conversation.

1List your trade — one short question at a time, then your profile is live.
2Find someone — reply with what you need and the town.
SKILLWord commands still work — SKILL to list, or FIND welder kerugoya to search directly.
DEMO NOTE — this thread runs on the same AI logic as the app, routed through this page instead of a real SMS gateway. A live version would connect this to a carrier SMS gateway (e.g. Africa's Talking or Twilio) so it reaches any phone number directly.
Naming a town in your search also sorts by distance.
