AI that works
for Africa
We build AI applications, fraud models, and automation systems grounded in African data and regulatory reality - not imported from markets where the financial and language context is fundamentally different.
What we build
Nine AI disciplines.
From strategy through to production deployment - we own the model lifecycle and the business outcome.
AI Strategy & Readiness
Maturity assessment, use-case prioritisation, data readiness audit, and 90-day AI roadmap.
Custom LLM & RAG Applications
Private document intelligence, internal knowledge bases, and domain-specific language model fine-tuning.
AI Agents & Workflow Automation
Multi-step autonomous agents for document processing, customer service, and back-office automation.
Fraud Detection & AML Models
Transaction scoring, anomaly detection, and AML typology models trained on East African financial data.
Computer Vision & Document AI
ID verification, document classification, invoice extraction, and satellite/drone image analysis.
Predictive Analytics & Forecasting
Demand forecasting, churn prediction, credit risk modelling, and operational efficiency models.
AI-Powered Customer Service
Multilingual chatbots (Swahili, English, Sheng) integrated with WhatsApp, web, and USSD channels.
MLOps & Model Governance
Model registry, drift monitoring, explainability reporting, and CI/CD pipelines for ML in production.
Responsible AI & Ethics Advisory
Bias audits, fairness testing, AI policy drafting, and regulatory alignment for CBK and data protection law.

Product details →Our approach
Responsible AI is not optional in financial services.
Every model we deploy is tested for bias across gender, ethnicity, and geography before production. We document model cards, maintain explainability reports, and align to CBK's emerging AI guidance and Kenya's Data Protection Act 2019.
Governance is not a phase at the end - it is woven into every sprint from day one.
OpasIntel vs baseline over training.
Our fraud-detection model outperforms a standard baseline from epoch one. The performance gap compounds as East African-specific fraud patterns are incorporated into each training cycle.
