GUEST – Bertha Kgokong - Founder Tati Digital Software Development –

After graduating with a chemical engineering degree in 2004 and doing stints in corporate until 2017, Bertha Kgokong decided to venture into software development. Through her company Tati Digital Software Development, she has created numerous products including MobileGPT. The chatbot offers a wide range of services, including generating images and documents such as business plans, cover letters, and resumes. According to Kgokong, the challenges she has faced include having her accounts banned as a result of trying to promote Mobile GPT on social media platforms. Platforms that have banned her include the likes of Google, LinkedIn, TikTok, and Twitter which indicates that she has something great to offer the public and businesses. Kgokong further states that she sees chatbot technology like MobileGPT being widely adopted across many industries including education as people become better informed about its upsides, and sees the movement to AI usage creating more jobs than threatening them.
