We've spent eight years delivering technology in the field, so we know what actually holds up out there. Now we bring that same judgment to AI — and build it to a serious engineering standard, so it keeps working long after we've gone. And when the work demands it, we can run that AI right where your data has to stay: offline, on-site, in-country.
Most AI help comes from people who know your world but not the engineering — or the other way around. We've spent years doing both, so we can plan it with you and build something that actually lasts. We won't hand you a system we couldn't run ourselves.
Our AI work is led by an engineer who keeps critical systems running around the clock at a top US bank. That same discipline goes into everything we build for you — so it holds up in real, everyday use, not just in a demo.
For eight years we've delivered technology alongside organizations across Africa — Operation Bootstrap Africa, r0g_agency, Migrant Media Network and others. AI tools are new for the whole field; what isn't new is knowing how to make technology actually work in these conditions, and keep it running.
Two of the platforms we've built ourselves, for the same demanding conditions our clients work in. Both are heavily AI-powered and in daily use with real learners — the clearest proof that we can build what you need. And where a platform goes into the field, we deliver it in-country with local partner organizations who run it on the ground.
Create courses, deliver them, engage learners, and award credentials — online or offline. A cloud Studio helps you build interactive learning packs with AI; once they're published, a Hyracbox Edge Server and the HyracHub app deliver that content with no internet needed. And for organizations investing in fully offline AI, the AI itself can run on the box.
SonzaSchool puts the whole platform to work for a real group of students: AI-assisted lessons, engagement that keeps them coming back, and credentials that count. It runs online — and where a school needs it, we can load the content onto a Hyracbox Edge Server so it works offline too. Proof the platform holds up well past a pilot, with real learners.

Not sure where to begin? Start with a focused working session. We look at your organization, cut through the hype, and map where AI could genuinely help — so you can decide what's worth doing next, with no big commitment.
Then, as the work grows —
Two to three weeks to a clear, board-ready plan that tells you where AI can genuinely help your work — and where it can't — with practical next steps.
$6k–$12k 02 / BuildFour to eight weeks. One real, working AI tool — built, set up in your environment, and handed over with a plain guide your team can run it from.
$18k–$45k 03 / DeployLocal AI on hardware you control — for work where the data has to stay in the country, in the building, or on the device, and the law requires it.
Engagement-based 04 / LeadA senior AI leader on your team part-time — for organizations that need the expertise and steady hands, but not a full-time hire.
From $6k / moPrices are scoped to your context and budget. This kind of work often qualifies as capacity-building or technology infrastructure in a grant proposal — and grant-funded engagements are welcome. If the fit is right, we'll find a way to make it work.
No pressure to commit up front. If the honest answer is “you don't need us yet,” that's what we'll tell you.
Where you are today, what's realistic, and what to do next — written up so you can take it straight to your board. No commitment to go further.
≈ 2–3 weeks · scoped to your sizeOne AI solution, built properly and set up in your own systems, with everything your team needs to keep it running on their own.
≈ 4–8 weeks · billed by milestoneIf it makes sense to keep going, we stay on in whatever way fits: part-time AI leadership, safety and governance checks, staff training, or hands-on support in the field.
Ongoing · monthlyPatient records, child-protection cases, refugee identities, donor details — often this data can't, by law or by conscience, leave the country, the building, or the device. So we set up AI on systems you control: local AI models on a Hyracbox Edge Server, your own hardware, or a cloud inside your country. Nothing has to be sent to someone else's servers.
Sovereign AI DeploymentTalk it through with people who've actually done this work in the field, not just read about it. Whoever you answer to — a board, a donor, a ministry, or your own standards — we build AI you can stand behind. If any of this sounds like your work, let's talk.
