The operating layer Africa's institutions never got.
We build software that runs institutions — agents that do the work, not tools they still have to operate.
- 1Africa's institutions operate blind. Not for lack of funding — for lack of the operational layer that would let them see their own functioning in real time. The missing layer →
- 2Give them that layer and they can finally watch their own work — non-revenue water, drug stock, project status — in high resolution, as it happens.
- 3But seeing isn't doing. The routine, rules-bound labour of a functioning institution was never staffed — it could not be afforded, and no system was built to do it instead.
- 4That labour can now be instantiated in software — AI employees, built African-institution-first for the real context, not ported broken from somewhere else. The operating workforce →
- 5We start with the buyer, the first of a fleet — each AI employee a hire these institutions could never make. Done with discipline, this doesn't thin them. It staffs them, for the first time.
Every institution runs on a stack. Africa's never got the operating layer — so it still runs on paper. We build that layer: agents that do the work, grounded in one ledger.
A fact sensed in the field climbs through the device, sync queue and ledger to the AI layer — which decides and acts back down. Offline-first, so nothing is lost when the signal drops.
The same operating layer underneath water, civic and finance — a record written in a dead zone still reaches the ledger. Watch the sync wave roll the offline branches back online.

Open BungeConnect ↗PBOMaster Guided PBO registration for Kenyan NGOs. Get compliant, get registered. CIVIC · LIVE
The PBO Act is now the law for every nonprofit in Kenya: the old NGO Coordination Act is repealed and the 2026 PBO Regulations are in force. Registering under it — and staying compliant — is a detail-heavy, one-shot process where applications fail on board composition, missing constitution clauses, and incomplete documentation. PBOMaster is the preparation platform that gets it right the first time. Upload your constitution and it's checked against every clause the PBO Act 2013 and its 2026 Regulations require, with compliant language drafted for the gaps. The board validator verifies nationality, residency, term limits, and conflict-of-interest rules in real time. One click assembles your complete registration package — Form 1, Form 8, board resolutions, and conflict-of-interest declarations — ready to file with the Authority.
Open PBOMaster ↗ProcureBee The AI agent that buys things for your company — any website, any currency, under 5 minutes. AI · IN BUILD
Employees send a product link in Slack. A manager taps Approve on their phone. ProcureBee completes the checkout and files the receipt automatically — using Stripe's new agentic payment rails. No shared credit cards. No expense reports. No waiting. Built on Stripe Link's agent wallet infrastructure: each purchase triggers a one-time virtual card scoped to a specific merchant and amount. The card is used once and destroyed. The real card number is never shared.
Zahra The AI skincare consultant built for melanin-rich skin. Radiance, never lightness. AI · IN BUILD
Zahra is a personal skincare and beauty consultant for Black and African women — and for anyone with a deep, melanin-rich skin tone. Most skincare is built and tested on lighter skin, so it misreads deeper tones: especially the dark marks (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation) a breakout leaves behind, which last far longer on melanin-rich skin and are made worse by harsh, generic fixes. Zahra leads a warm, real consultation — she asks the right questions, takes you seriously, and tells the truth even when it isn't what you hoped to hear. She is a 'boxed' AI by design: she phrases and reassures, but every hard fact — the products, the prices, the routine itself — is supplied by a vetted engine and shown as cards. She never invents a product or a claim. Her north star is radiance, never lightness: she helps skin become clearer, calmer, and more itself, and she actively warns against bleaching and unsafe 'brightening.' That is a moral line, not a style choice.
AnswerTab Right-click anything on any webpage. Get an instant, context-aware AI answer. Never leave your page. AI · IN BUILD
AnswerTab kills the 'open a new tab to look something up' reflex — the same way Dictionary popups killed looking up words in a browser. It is a Manifest V3 Chrome extension that lives as a native layer on top of every webpage. Highlight text, right-click or hit Cmd+Shift+K, and get an answer that is specific to the article you are reading — not a generic definition. Bring your own API key: AI traffic routes directly from your browser to your chosen provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, or Gemini) and never touches AnswerTab servers. The second product layer is the Knowledge Map: a locally-stored graph of every concept you have ever asked about, organised into clusters and linked across sessions — turning AnswerTab into a long-term intellectual companion.

Open AccessWASH ↗Rafiki A personal AI that lives in your texts — talks like a friend, acts like a chief of staff, holds you to your own goals. AI · RESEARCH
Rafiki is the personal operating layer: an AI that lives in your messages, not in an app you have to remember to open. It talks the way you talk to a close friend, acts on your behalf in the real world — booking, ordering, reminding, following up — and checks in on you proactively, the way someone genuinely in your corner does. Its job isn't to obey; it's to hold you to the person you said you wanted to be.
