Nenasa is Dialog's national education initiative, delivered in collaboration with the Ministry of Education, and it has been part of Sri Lanka's learning infrastructure for over a decade. Inforwaves partnered with Dialog to build the Nenasa AI Platform: an AI learning assistant that gives students across the country a personal tutor aligned to the government syllabus, in Sinhala, Tamil and English.
The approach
The Nenasa AI Platform extends a trusted national education brand into conversational AI. Students can ask a question in the language they think in and receive an answer grounded in the material their teachers actually use, rather than a generic response drawn from the open internet.
Inforwaves delivered the platform using the Articom agentic framework, which drives the retrieval and reasoning behind every answer. Articom is connected to a curated knowledge base covering the Sri Lankan school syllabus, including past papers and term test material across O/L and A/L subjects and the Grade 6 to 10 curriculum, so responses stay anchored to approved content. The assistant supports text, voice, video and screen share, allowing a student to type a question, speak it aloud, or share what is on their screen and be guided through it.
The impact
Quality supplementary education in Sri Lanka has traditionally depended on geography and household income. Nenasa removes both constraints, putting syllabus-aligned academic support in the hands of any student with a phone, in their own language, at any hour. For Dialog, it converts a long-standing national education commitment into a live, scalable AI service. For the Ministry of Education, it extends approved curriculum content far beyond the classroom.
Client focus
Dialog Axiata PLC has invested in Sri Lankan education for more than fifteen years through the Nenasa initiative. The AI Platform is the next stage of that commitment, and Inforwaves was selected to build it.
