M-Pesa, Flutterwave, Paystack and card payments integrated.

03

Senior engineers at offshore rates with full code ownership.

What we do

What our generative AI development covers

Copilots and assistants

In-app assistants that draft, summarise, answer and take actions for your staff or customers, grounded in your own data.

Content generation

Product descriptions, marketing copy, reports and emails generated in your brand voice, with review steps before anything is published.

Image and media generation

Product imagery, design variations and visual assets generated from prompts or templates, built into your existing workflow.

Document generation

Proposals, contracts, summaries and structured reports drafted from your templates and records, ready for human sign-off.

Fine-tuning

Models fine-tuned on your examples when prompting and retrieval are not enough, with evaluation to prove the gain.

Private LLMs

Open-source models such as Llama, Mistral or Qwen hosted on your own cloud, so sensitive data never leaves your environment.

In depth

How we approach Generative AI development

Prompting, retrieval or fine-tuning

Most GenAI products work best with good prompts plus retrieval from your own documents. We only recommend fine-tuning when you have enough quality examples and a clear gap that retrieval cannot close, because it adds training and maintenance cost.

Choosing the right model

We compare GPT, Claude, Gemini and open-source models on your real tasks for quality, speed and cost before committing. The architecture keeps the model swappable, so you can switch providers as prices and capabilities change.

Guardrails and review

Generated output goes through checks for format, tone, facts against your sources and sensitive content. Where accuracy matters, we add a human approval step and keep a log of every generation.

Private by design

We use API providers configured not to train on your data, or host open-source models on your own cloud. For healthcare work, our HIPAA-trained team builds to HIPAA requirements.

Working with us from Kenya

How we work with Kenya clients

Time-zone overlap

Kenya is two and a half hours behind India, so our working days overlap for most of the day.

Kenya's Data Protection Act 2019

We design to Kenya's Data Protection Act: lawful processing, consent, security controls and data-subject rights, and we sign NDAs before work starts.

Billing

Invoices in Kenyan shillings (KES) or US dollars. Typical senior rates are $25 to $49 (USD) per hour, or a fixed price for a defined scope.

Sectors · Kenya

Built for Kenya's key sectors

Kenyan startups and businesses use us for fintech and mobile-money integrations, healthcare software and AI, designed to the Data Protection Act.

Mobile money and fintech

M-Pesa made mobile payments the default for most customers. AI here usually means faster reporting, fewer manual steps and better customer replies.

Agriculture

Tea, coffee and flower exporters adopt agtech and traceability. We start with one costly process and automate it end to end.

Logistics

Mombasa port serves East Africa through tracking platforms. We build AI agents, assistants and automation around these workflows.

Tourism

Safari operators sell to international travellers online. AI here usually means faster reporting, fewer manual steps and better customer replies.
