The informal sector moves most of the continent's money on trust networks that already work. We turn them, amplified by AI, into national infrastructure the communities within them own.
Traders, farmers, chiefs, health workers and creators move most of the continent's money on trust networks that already work. Jabali Studios is built, deliberately, to serve that market and keep the value it creates at home.
We call the pattern an agent network: the people a community already trusts, amplified by AI, turned into infrastructure at national scale. We build it once, then point it at the next sector.
We start with the trusted people communities already rely on, never replacing them, only equipping them.
AI agents work alongside human ones, sensing, verifying and paying, so a local network can operate at national scale.
The data stays with the people who create it. Each network becomes an ecosystem with its own business, cap table, and mandate.
Each ecosystem points the same shared foundation at a new trusted network and sector. Some are live and standalone; others are in the studio now.
Africa's first national rights registry, on the rails creators already use, turning trapped royalties into a creditworthy asset.
Enter Studio Mtaani →The continent's most developed agent network, and the reference build the studio grew from.
WhatsApp support for 100,000+ community health volunteers, riding the proven Ngao rails.
Humanitarian volunteers keeping people in the loop as AI responds to information disorder.
Turning millions of Africa's MSMEs from invisible-to-credit into bankable.
Point the shared foundation at the next trusted network. New sectors plug in, with no rebuild.
When the everyday economy becomes visible and verifiable, the national balance sheet changes. Invisible earners become bankable, and value that used to leak abroad stays and compounds at home.
Everyday activity turns into consented, verified, geo-tagged data. The state gains ground truth to plan, budget and tax fairly.
Verified identity and income turn people no lender could see into creditworthy borrowers. Capital can finally reach the majority.
Ownership is local by design, so income compounds inside the country instead of leaking to foreign platforms.
One shared network serves many sectors. Each new one costs less and adds more, building national capacity that keeps growing.
A wider formal economy, credit for the majority, and data infrastructure the country owns.
We don't build alone. Governments, funders, innovators and communities bring us real problems. Together we structure them into well-designed challenges, then build and scale the answers on the shared network.
Bring a mandate and a real problem. Anchor it in a trusted network and a path to national standards.
Back a challenge and its first-loss structure, so capital reaches the everyday economy with evidence behind it.
Take on an open challenge and build on shared rails, with distribution and data ready from day one.
Shape the challenge from the ground, own the data it generates, and share in the value it creates.
Sets the studio's direction and guards the mission: infrastructure the everyday economy owns.
Chooses which trusted networks the studio anchors next, and the path to national standards.
Turns each challenge into products that fit the tools communities already use.
Runs delivery across the network so builds reach the field, not just the pitch deck.
Builds the AI agents that let a local network operate at national scale.
Turns field signal into the ground-truth data every ecosystem runs on.
Raising and partnering to ship the next ecosystems. Investors, DFIs, institutions and builders welcome.
