Nigerian founder $135,000 to give “local phone numbers” to AI Agents
Joshua Barimon Firima raised $135,000 to solve a problem slowing down AI voice adoption: getting AI agents connected to real phone lines.
His startup, KrosAI, helps businesses deploy AI voice agents without spending months navigating telecom partnerships and compliance requirements.

timing TTFB on OpenRouter is like starting the stopwatch when the waiter says "coming right up" — the food is still in the kitchen. love that Lodestone measures the actual last token. free-tier 1/15 usable is the kind of chart that makes wallets suddenly feel generous 😅

Nigeria is a global crime scene. Dangote a private citizen can spin the world’s largest single-train refinery in 6 years but Nigeria in 65 years cannot build power plants to permanently solve its electricity challenges. This is national sabotage and treason from those in power!
You cannot book Lagos to Ibadan train tickets more than 3 days ahead but tickets for Saturday 31 October are all completely sold out by 11am on Thursday 29th. Even plane tickets don’t sell out this quickly.
Oh well, this is the beginning of the end of that train. ✌🏾

Again yes, Zanzibar has pristine beaches and beautiful turquoise waters, but it also has real homes and every day lives. Everywhere doesn’t look like a luxury resort.
We should be more mindful. These are people’s homes, not just backdrops for your instagram dump.
On 28 October, the free AI models behind my app stopped working. I measured it: 3 attempts each on 5 free models, 15 in all. 1 usable answer in 15. It took 25 seconds. Here is what happened, and what I built after: A thread.
The best lesson came from calling the backup providers for real. @GroqLLC had withdrawn the model I listed (404). Its model list also held speech and safety models I counted as chat: 11, not 4. @RequestyAI had no credit (402). My tests with fakes had passed all of it.
It runs in production on Netlify; Workers, Deno, Bun and Node are tested in CI, but I have not deployed to Vercel, Render or Base44 yet.
Try it, and watch it run through 12 bad days: lodestone.extrafemi.com
