Roar Global has introduced Roar AI, Sri Lanka’s first AI gateway, giving developers, startups and businesses access to more than 200 leading frontier and open-source AI models through a single platform.

Built in Sri Lanka, Roar AI is designed to address some of the practical barriers organisations face when building with artificial intelligence – from fragmented access to multiple models and complex international payments to application hosting, cost management and data governance.

Through a single integration, Roar AI users can access and build with a wide range of global AI models such as Anthropic, Gemini, Perplexity, Llama, DeepSeek and Kimi – choosing the right model for each application or workload without having to manage multiple platforms, accounts and billing relationships.

Beyond model access, Roar AI provides the infrastructure needed to deploy and operate AI applications, including locally hosted applications, integrated databases, transactional email and automated backups. The platform also incorporates usage controls, budgets and guardrails to help organisations manage how AI is accessed and used across their teams.

Billing in Sri Lankan rupees gives local businesses greater predictability and control over AI expenditure, while local infrastructure and engineering support provide a closer-to-home option for organisations looking to build and operate AI applications.

“AI adoption should not be limited by where a business is based or by how easily it can access global infrastructure,” said Mustafa Kassim, Founder and CEO of Roar Global. “We built Roar AI to bring the world’s leading AI capabilities closer to Sri Lankan builders and businesses, together with the infrastructure and local expertise they need to turn those capabilities into real products.”

Roar AI is not a standalone AI application or chatbot. It acts as an infrastructure layer that allows developers to connect AI models to their own products, platforms and workflows. This gives teams the flexibility to experiment with different models, optimise for performance and cost, and scale their AI capabilities through one locally supported platform.

The launch reflects Roar Global’s broader evolution from a digital media and platform consultancy into a venture-building group operating across AI, technology platforms and the creator economy. The Group has made significant investments in AI-led innovation, with its teams already processing more than 10 billion AI tokens across the products, applications and workflows it has built.

Roar AI also represents a wider commitment to strengthening Sri Lanka’s participation in the global AI economy. By making advanced AI infrastructure easier to access locally, Roar aims to help developers, entrepreneurs and enterprises move beyond experimenting with individual AI tools and towards building scalable products and businesses with AI at their core.

“We don’t want Sri Lanka to simply be a market that consumes AI products built elsewhere,” Mustafa added. “We want Sri Lankan developers and businesses to have the infrastructure to build those products here and take them to the world.”

Roar AI is currently being introduced to selected builders and early adopters in Sri Lanka. Developers, startups and organisations interested in gaining early access can apply at roar-ai.com/early-access.

Dialog Axiata PLC, Sri Lanka’s #1 connectivity provider, announced the launch of Dialog AI, the country’s first trilingual generative AI platform created to bring the power of artificial intelligence to every Sri Lankan, in Sinhala, Tamil, and English. Available data free to all Dialog customers, Dialog AI is designed to help people across the country learn faster, work smarter, and solve everyday challenges more easily.

Whether it’s a student preparing for exams, a small business owner writing a proposal, or a farmer checking weather conditions Dialog AI responds in the language and style most natural to them. It even understands informal expressions like Singlish and Tanglish, offering support that’s truly local and empowers users with intelligent assistance they can relate to and rely on.

Dialog AI is set to make a meaningful impact across education and everyday life. Students can summarise notes, translate content, and practise writing, while teachers can generate lesson plans or simplify complex concepts for multilingual classrooms. By supporting multiple languages and informal dialects, Dialog AI empowers more Sri Lankans to learn independently and confidently especially in underserved communities where digital resources are limited.

Its impact goes far beyond learning, empowering Sri Lankans across diverse sectors from agriculture and tourism to small business and beyond. Farmers can get timely, easy-to-understand advice on crop care or pest control by simply asking a question. Entrepreneurs and small businesses can create marketing content, proposals, or customer messages in just a few clicks. Those working in tourism can communicate more confidently with international guests, while even a group of friends planning a trip can use Dialog AI to build a personalised itinerary in seconds.

The platform is designed to understand everyday language and tone, with a strong focus on accuracy, ease of use, and personalisation. Dialog AI upholds the highest standards in data privacy, security, and performance, setting a new benchmark for AI solutions in Sri Lanka.
