Why we exist
Research with a clear purpose
Vision
A Ghana where every small business — from a Makola market stall to a tech startup in Accra — has an AI co-pilot that understands its language, context, and constraints.
Mission
To research, build, and openly share AI systems that raise the productivity, resilience, and earnings of Ghanaian small businesses, while keeping the technology affordable and trustworthy.
Goals
Ship practical agentic tools, publish peer-reviewed research grounded in local data, and train a new generation of Ghanaian AI researchers and founders.
Our goals, concretely
- Deploy agentic AI assistants that work over WhatsApp and low-bandwidth networks.
- Build open datasets of Ghanaian commerce, language, and informal-sector activity.
- Reduce the cost of business intelligence for SMEs by an order of magnitude.
- Publish reproducible research and release models under open licenses.
