ag caint (talking as Gaeilge) is a rural community project aimed at bridging the gap of communication between tech-savvy users and non-tech savvy users in rural Ireland. ag caint uses audio messaging along with NFC tags to allow people to contact each other and start conversations within their community. The NFC tags are a representation of each person in the community with their face and details assigned to it. To get in contact with them you can simply scan their tag off your phone or community audio device and start an audio recorded conversation with them with the aim of building connection and creating a more connected rural community.
