What we build when
the client is us
Three practices, one standard: intelligence engineered for the ground it will stand on. Your data, your users, your constraints.
Praxis - See how your organization actually runs
See how your organization actually runs. An organizational operating system for African organizations. Praxis makes the implicit explicit. One system to see, build, run and ask about your entire operation.
Synaxis - An Open MCP Engine
Synaxis Engine unifies authorized connections into organized namespaces and exposes tools through the right endpoint. Synaxis Platform manages registration, provisioning, activation, and workspace lifecycle. Each hosted workspace gets its own isolated Engine. One platform, securely separated workspaces.
Unboxie - Gifting without the guesswork.
An AI gifting concierge. Give it a person and an occasion; it returns a curated box that lands like you spent weeks on it.
Tani - Identity checks that hold up in the field
The Tegence Advanced Neural Identifier. Face, document and liveness verification trained on African data, so the people your systems serve are the people they recognize.
Systems built to shape
Three practices, one standard: intelligence engineered for the ground it will stand on. Your data, your users, your constraints.

Selected Work
Biometric systems for African faces and environments
The Ground
Global face models struggle with darker skin, harsh light, budget phone cameras and documents that have lived in wallets for a decade.
What Shipped
We built Tani to verify faces, documents, fingerprints and liveness with models trained on African data from day one.
Voice banking for every accent on the line
The Ground
Voice interfaces fail the moment they expect studio audio and one accent. Real customers speak many languages, switch mid-sentence, and call from noisy places on basic phones.
What Shipped
Speech models tuned to local accents and mid-sentence language switching, sturdy enough for noisy lines and basic handsets.
Predictive intelligence for renewable energy assets
The Ground
Assets in the field degrade in ways the spec sheet never predicted, and downtime is usually discovered after it has already cost money.
What Shipped
Predictive models that read asset telemetry and flag failures before they happen, so maintenance follows the forecast instead of the breakdown.
