Automate any business, on any channel, with AI that works in your systems

We build AI agents and digital employees that answer customers, follow up M-Pesa and other mobile money payments, reconcile bank statements and update your ERP. Then we manage and measure them every month.

What this practice covers

It acts in your systems

Our agents can check stock, send M-Pesa and other mobile money payment requests, raise invoices and update records in your systems, within the permissions you set.

Built around Kenyan systems

M-Pesa and other mobile money, KRA eTIMS, Odoo, WhatsApp, SHIF and NSSF are the starting point, not an afterthought. Agents can reply in English and Swahili and are built to understand Sheng.

A person approves what matters

Your agent acts on money or records only within limits you agree in writing, and asks a person to approve anything outside them. Every message, action and alert is written to an audit log.

One worker, any channel

The same agent, rules and audit trail on WhatsApp first, then on phone calls, SMS, email and web chat when your business needs them. Each extra channel is built for you.

Managed, measured, improved

Once your agent is live, we monitor it, report what it handled and tune it every month. You keep ownership of your data, your WhatsApp number and your accounts.

Services in this practice

Why most AI projects stall

Most AI tools live in a chat window. They can answer a question, but they can’t check your stock, send an M-Pesa or other mobile money payment request, or raise a KRA eTIMS invoice. So your team still re-types everything the bot “handled”.

We start from the other end. Since 2017 we have built the banking, payments, ERP and identity systems East African organisations run on. Our AI agents are built to plug into those same systems, so they can finish the job.

If you are comparing AI agencies in Nairobi, ask each one a simple question: once the customer says yes, what does your agent actually change in my systems?

What we automate

  • Customer conversations on WhatsApp. An agent on the official WhatsApp Business API can answer in seconds, quote from your price list, take payment by M-Pesa or other mobile money and hand over to a person when it should. See WhatsApp AI agents.
  • Back-office work. Reconciliation of M-Pesa and other mobile money across Africa (Airtel Money, MTN MoMo and more), bank statements and banks with open APIs, supplier documents into Odoo, scheduled reports and statutory payroll checks. See back-office automation.
  • Phone calls. AI call agents can answer your reception line, take after-hours calls, call customers with appointment and payment reminders and handle routine collections calls, in English and Swahili. See AI call agents.
  • Management information. An assistant can read your Odoo and send directors a morning briefing, alerts and plain-language answers on WhatsApp. See AI Executive Assistant for Odoo.
  • The whole small business. Accounting, stock, POS, payroll, loyalty and branch reports in one system, with mobile money and bank receipts reconciled for you. See business automation for SMEs.
  • Your team’s own use of AI. Practical half-day workshops built around the roles in the room. See AI training and workshops.

Digital employees: one role, any channel

Put those pieces together and you get a digital employee: an AI worker with a defined role, the skills and company knowledge it needs, the tools it is allowed to use, the approvals it must ask for and the goals it is measured on. A collections digital employee, for example, can send reminders on WhatsApp, call customers who have not replied and record every promise to pay in your ERP. See AI Digital Employees, our product for this.

How we work

  1. Audit (free, 30 minutes). We look at where your team’s time goes today and give you a one-page map of where automation pays back first.
  2. Build (2–6 weeks). We build on your systems, test on a safe copy of your data, and agree in writing what the agent may and may not do.
  3. Run (managed and measured). Once your agent is live, we monitor it, report what it handled and tune it every month.

Guardrails you can explain to your board

Every agent we build follows the same rules:

  • Permissions live in the system, not the prompt. A tool that a person’s role can’t use is never offered to the AI.
  • Limits agreed in writing. Your agent acts on money or records only within limits you agree in writing, and asks a person to approve anything outside them.
  • No invented figures. Numbers come from your systems. If the agent can’t reach your data, it says so instead of guessing.
  • Everything is logged, and there is an off switch. You can see every message and action, and stop the agent at once.
  • Data protection from the start. We design to Kenya’s Data Protection Act 2019 and help you update your privacy notices to cover AI processing.

Estimate what a digital employee could free

Use the calculator on this page: pick a role, then put in your own salary and headcount to see the staff hours a digital employee could take off your team each month. It is an estimate, and its assumptions are shown. The free audit turns it into real numbers for your business. For WhatsApp enquiries and reconciliation, the WhatsApp AI agents page has a savings calculator of its own.

What could a digital employee take off your team?

Pick a role, then put in your own salary and headcount. You get an estimate of the staff hours freed, with every assumption listed underneath.

The role

The kind of work you want a digital employee to take on.

Gross pay per person in this role, in Kenyan shillings.

How many people do this work today, from 1 to 500.

Time spent on work that follows the same steps each time. Choosing a role sets a typical starting point you can change.

Your estimate

Per month

Estimated: 106 staff hours freed and KES 27,000 of staff time per month

A rough estimate, not a quote. It updates as you change it, and nothing you enter leaves this page.

Assumptions

  1. A working month is 176 hours per person.
  2. A digital employee can take on about 60% of the repetitive share of a role.
  3. The freed time is valued at the average monthly salary spread over 176 hours.
  4. This is an estimate, not a quote. Your real figure depends on the work and is confirmed in a pilot.
