What ChaguoAI is — and what it is not
Decision support for community health workers: WHO MEC rules first, human confirmation always. ChaguoAI is not a prescribing system, and a health worker reviews every recommendation packet.

ChaguoAI helps community health workers counsel clients on contraceptive methods using channels women already use — WhatsApp and USSD. It is not a prescribing system. A deterministic WHO Medical Eligibility Criteria engine runs before any language model output. Every recommendation packet is reviewed and confirmed by a trained health worker.
We built ChaguoAI in Kenya, on data from Western Kenya, because generic global tools rarely reach the women with the highest unmet need. If you are evaluating digital family planning tools, ask one question: who confirms the final choice? For us, the answer is always the CHW.
