AILab logo

AILab is Kenya's sovereign AI launchpad — enterprises, governments, and innovators co-create intelligent products that solve real African challenges.

Iterate together

Growing Ecosystem of Global Partners

Africa's most urgent problems need African AI

Western AI models are trained on Western data. They don't understand M-Pesa flows, Swahili idioms, smallholder farming cycles, or informal income patterns. Africa deserves AI that understands Africa.

How co-creation works

You bring what you have. We bring what we have. Together we build what neither of us could alone, and share the revenue it generates.

06 offerings · 01 platform

01

AI Research

Long-running training, ablations, and benchmark suites on dedicated H100 and H200 pools.

02

AI Advisory

Architecture reviews, model selection, and compliance planning for regulated African operators.

03

AI Factory as a Service

End-to-end factory capacity — data ingest, train, eval, and promote — without building your own MLOps stack.

04

AI Infrastructure

Bare-metal and virtual GPU tenancy with NVLink-aware scheduling and project isolation in Nairobi.

05

AI Engineering

Fine-tuning, distillation, and serving pipelines with gated quality and latency checks before production.

06

Agentic AI

Multi-agent automation on sovereign models — document intelligence, fraud, and ops agents via Alomana.

Sovereign infrastructure under every product

Infra is the foundation. GPU fleets in Kenya keep co-created agents and models close to the people they serve.
