Built for Cape Town teams
Time-zone overlap
South Africa is three and a half hours behind India, so our working days overlap for most of your morning and early afternoon.
The Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA)
We design to POPIA's conditions for lawful processing: purpose limits, security safeguards and data-subject access, with data hosted in South African cloud regions when required. We sign NDAs before work starts.
Billing
Invoices in South African rand (ZAR) or US dollars. Typical senior rates are $25 to $49 (USD) per hour, or a fixed price for a defined scope.
Where we help Cape Town businesses most
Cape Town startups use us for SaaS, e-commerce and AI products, with a strong daily overlap in working hours and privacy designed to POPIA.
Mining
Mines invest in safety, monitoring and automation systems. We start with one costly process and automate it end to end.
Financial services
Banks and insurers lead in mobile and digital channels. We build AI agents, assistants and automation around these workflows.
Retail
National chains expand e-commerce and loyalty programmes. AI here usually means faster reporting, fewer manual steps and better customer replies.
Tourism and wine
Operators and estates sell to international visitors online. We start with one costly process and automate it end to end.

Which currency do you bill in, and what does it cost?+
We bill in South African rand (ZAR) or US dollars. Senior engineers typically cost $25 to $49 (USD) per hour, and fixed-scope projects such as an MVP in 25 to 30 days are quoted after a free consultation.

How much does it cost to build an AI chatbot?+
It depends on channels, integrations and how much the bot must do. Clarigo Infotech gives a scoped quote after a free consultation; simple website chatbots cost far less than voice bots or bots connected to several systems.
Can the chatbot be trained on our own documents and website?+
Yes. We ground the chatbot in your website, FAQs, documents and product data, so it answers from your information rather than guessing, and we test it with real questions before launch.
