What AI for Africa does

AI for Africa (AiforAfrica.io) is a Casablanca-based AI solutions provider founded in 2023 and developed by Moroccan digital services firm Kertys. The company serves African enterprises — primarily in banking and financial services, with secondary verticals in agriculture, manufacturing, retail, healthcare, education, and the public sector — across Morocco, Tunisia, Senegal, Ivory Coast, and Cameroon. Its offering combines AI consulting and strategy, system integration, training programs, and two proprietary products: Allmates.ai, a no-code AI agent platform with more than 350 pre-configured agent templates, and Docpulse AI, an intelligent document processing solution.

Underlying technology spans predictive AI (credit scoring, fraud detection, demand forecasting, predictive maintenance), generative AI deployed on internal corporate data via RAG, and autonomous AI agents orchestrated across business workflows. The Allmates.ai platform is multi-LLM agnostic, dynamically selecting between GPT, Claude, Mistral, and private/local models, and supports on-premise, sovereign cloud, and hybrid deployment for data sovereignty and compliance with Morocco's Law 09-08 and other local regulations. The platform integrates with ERP, GED, SIRH, CRM systems, and communication tools (Slack, Microsoft Teams, email, Chrome extension), and supports multilingual operation in Arabic, French, English, and local African languages.

The business model is multi-stream: quote-based professional services for consulting and integration (with a free 60-minute consultation entry point), recurring subscription revenue from the Allmates.ai platform, training and masterclass fees, and channel-led distribution through the Kertys partner network across five African countries. The company claims 1,000+ clients and was awarded 'Best Innovative AI Solution 2024.' In January 2025 it announced a strategic exclusive distribution partnership with GPT Mates to extend collaborative AI agent capabilities across African markets.
