For African startups

The AI stack for African startups.

WhatsApp agents. AI documents. AI images. Mobile-money integration. Priced in your currency. Free to start — and free to stay small.

Use cases

What founders actually ship with Uhuru.

Customer support on WhatsApp

Most of your customers are already on WhatsApp. Plug Uhuru AI into your number and answer them at human quality, 24 hours a day, in their language. No app downloads, no friction.

Documents in minutes, not days

Generate proposals, contracts, pitch decks, policies, and reports from a single prompt. U Docs writes in your tone and saves to your Uhuru Cloud.

Marketing creative on demand

Uhuru Images turns brand briefs into ready-to-post product shots, banners, and social creative. Designed for local audiences and local feeds.

Operational AI that works on the phone

Inventory queries, sales summaries, stock alerts, supplier follow-ups — all from the same phone your team already carries. No new device, no new login.

Why it works here

Built for the way you actually operate.

  • Priced in USD, BWP, and ZAR — and most of what your team needs is on the free tier.
  • Designed for mobile-first usage and intermittent connectivity. It works on the phone in your pocket, not just on a laptop on fibre.
  • Built by an African company that answers to African founders, regulators, and customers. When you have a problem, you talk to someone who understands the market.
  • Integrates with the channels you actually use — WhatsApp, M-Pesa, SMS — not the ones a Silicon Valley product manager assumed you should.

FAQ

What founders ask before they sign up.

Is Uhuru AI free for early-stage startups?+

Yes. The free tier covers most early-stage usage with no credit card required. As your usage grows, the Essential, Pro, Teams, and Plus plans are priced in USD, BWP, and ZAR.

Can I plug Uhuru AI into my WhatsApp Business number?+

Yes. WhatsApp is a first-class channel for Uhuru AI. You connect your number once and the agent handles inbound conversations at the quality you train it to.

Does it integrate with M-Pesa, MTN MoMo, or Airtel Money?+

Yes — mobile-money integrations are part of the Uhuru Cloud business stack. You bring your provider credentials; we handle the orchestration, callbacks, and reconciliation.

Will my customer data stay in Africa?+

Yes. Uhuru AI is built on Uhuru Cloud, an African platform with African data regions. We do not move user data off-continent to satisfy a foreign processor.

How fast can a small team get value?+

Most teams have a working WhatsApp agent or document workflow inside an afternoon. No installation, no DevOps team required — sign up, point Uhuru at your existing channel, and ship.

What if I outgrow the free tier?+

The paid plans (Essential, Pro, Teams, Plus) scale with you. You only ever pay for what you use, and you can move between plans without re-architecting anything.
