We’ve been posting a lot about Zuzi… but who is she, really? 👀💙

Zuzi is GRIT’s chatbot, created with young people and communities across South Africa to help answer the questions people often don’t know who to ask.

You can chat to Zuzi about relationships, consent, sexual health, online harm, gender-based violence, your rights, reporting, and where to find support.

She’s here to make information feel easier to reach, less intimidating, and more youth-friendly.

Zuzi wasn’t built from assumptions. She was shaped by real people, real questions, and real experiences.

For over 3 years, GRIT has been working with young people, survivors, communities, schools, and frontline organisations across South Africa. What people shared with us helped shape how Zuzi understands questions, uses local language, and responds with care.

Think of Zuzi as a starting point when you’re unsure where to turn.

Some questions are hard to ask out loud, especially when you’re still figuring things out.

That’s why we built Zuzi: a chatbot designed to listen, respond, and guide young people through questions about relationships, consent, online harm, sexual health, safety, support, and their rights.

This , GRIT is inviting young people to help co-create Zuzi in two ways:

🩵 Zuzi Advisory Board

Help shape Zuzi’s language, tone, friendliness, clarity, and responses so she feels more relatable, safe, and helpful.

🩵 Zuzi Activators

Help bring Zuzi into schools, communities, and everyday conversations so more people know there is a tool they can turn to.

Apply: https://lnkd.in/djWS5Aip

Zuzi shouldn’t sound like a system talking at you. She should feel like someone who gets it, meets you where you’re at, and helps you figure things out without judgment.

When we say we co-create Zuzi with young people, we mean it. Your voices, feedback, and lived experiences help guide how Zuzi responds.
