Introducing Centric: AI for Business in Africa

African businesses are constantly evolving. Staying ahead of the curve requires embracing new forms of thinking and innovative technologies. We’ve seen new technologies transform businesses; from computers to the internet and mobile apps, but we’ve never had technology that promises the power to boost intelligence.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) promises the power to augment human intelligence and this shift is crucial, especially for SMEs in Africa. According to McKinsey, 63% of businesses that adopted AI in 2023 reported revenue increases. While large language models (LLMs) capture headlines and are popular (e.g. ChatGPT, Gemini etc.), they have very few practical applications for core business challenges. And for many SMEs, leveraging AI for their business can feel complex, technical, and expensive.

That’s why we’re building Centric, an all-in-one AI platform that seamlessly integrates AI into your business processes and products.

Centric focuses on delivering real AI value for SMEs in Africa, empowering them to leverage this transformative technology in a meaningful way.

Centric removes barriers that prevent SMEs from embracing AI, enabling business owners who want to use AI to grow, but don’t have the expertise. Here’s how:

• Easy-to-build and deploy AI models: Centric streamlines the creation and deployment of AI models, making them accessible without extensive AI or data science knowledge.
• Effortless Integration: No complex setup or the need for extensive coding expertise. Centric seamlessly integrates with your existing business processes, making it easy to get started and see results.
• Simple Interface: Centric’s user-friendly design is built on robust open-source technology, delivering powerful automation capabilities and removing all the complexity.
• AI Use Cases: Unsure where to begin with AI? Centric helps you identify areas where AI can deliver significant value for your business. Our use case generation feature (in test mode) will suggest relevant AI use cases based on your industry, business problem, performance targets, and data.

These are just a few features of Centric that can power your business. Centric is designed to give you the power to create new possibilities — growth, operational excellence, and exceptional customer experiences.
