We build software for East Africa and run it ourselves.

Web platforms, mobile applications and AI agent systems — designed, shipped and operated on infrastructure we administer. Everything below is live or in build, and every claim opens in a new tab.

001 The work

Five things we designed, built, and still operate.

Where the code is public the link goes to the repository. Where it isn't, the link goes to the running product.

Entry 01 / 05

KaziLaw

Tanzanian employment law, with citations

Free question-and-answer over the Employment and Labour Relations Act, plus a compliance check that walks an employer through what the Acts actually require. Every answer cites the section it came from, so a reader can verify it against the law rather than trust the model.

KaziLaw is not a law firm and does not give legal advice. It is Tanzanian labour law, organised.

Dino IG

A dinosaur chat app for children

Shipped on the Apple App Store and built contract-first: the OpenAPI schema generates the typed client, so the app and the API cannot quietly drift apart. Identity is derived on the device instead of collected, so a child never creates an account.

Chuma

Training, written for East Africa

Not translated into the region but written for it: Swahili first, bodyweight-first programming for people without a gym, and East African food in the nutrition side. Rotating trainer-led programs, set-by-set logging, and a licensed exercise library served from our own infrastructure instead of somebody else's quota.

Sema & Sema-API

Customer-facing AI with the guardrails written down

Each industry pack declares what the assistant must never invent and when it has to hand off to a person — the pharmacy pack refuses dosage, drug interactions and diagnosis outright. Blank onboarding fields are fed back into the prompt, so the model is told what it does not know instead of filling the gap itself.

routine-engine

Deterministic program generation

The training-program generator extracted from Chuma and released on its own. Given a catalogue and a configuration it produces a full rotating program deterministically — same input, same program — with a test suite that asserts both full coverage where movement patterns exist and graceful degradation where they don't.

002 Infrastructure

We run our own hardware, and our own agents on it.

Two systems we built for ourselves and run in production. Neither is public — this page is the only place they are described.

Internal

OpenClaw

The agent runtime our automation runs on. Long-lived agents with their own memory, scheduled work and tool access, sitting directly on our servers rather than behind someone else's platform — so the jobs keep their state and we keep the logs.

Internal

Hermes

The agent that directs production work: media pipelines, batch generation, and the routine operational jobs that would otherwise be a person copying numbers between systems. It briefs the tools, checks the output and reports what it did.

Servers
Dedicated and virtual hosts we administer ourselves, running 15+ containerised services.
Data
Postgres with pgvector for retrieval, on databases we can back up and inspect.
Inference
Self-hosted image, video and speech models on our own GPU, alongside hosted APIs where they earn their cost.
Operations
Daily reporting automation for a three-location restaurant group: sales digests, cost variance flagging and tax-receipt tracking.

003 Capabilities

Three kinds of work — and where to see each one running.

01

Web platforms

Applications that do real work: search over your own documents, gated content, payments, reporting. Built on Next.js and Postgres, deployed and monitored by the same people who wrote them. See KaziLaw ↗

02

Mobile applications

React Native apps taken all the way to the store — including the review process and the on-device bugs that never appear in a simulator. See Dino IG ↗

03

AI agent systems

Retrieval over your own data, agents that run on a schedule, and explicit written rules for what the model must not say. See Sema-API ↗

004 Contact

Tell us what you're trying to ship.

Start with the problem rather than the spec — what should be true when it works, and who it has to work for. We will tell you honestly whether we are the right people to build it.
