    About the franchise

    The AI conversation in Africa is mostly vibes and venture announcements. AI At Work Africa is the opposite: we track what's actually running in workflows. Which prompts a customer-service team in Lagos uses. How a Nairobi product team handed off copy to an LLM. What a Cairo radiologist is doing with image models. Which roles now exist that didn't in 2024 — and what they pay. Quarterly.

    What we're tracking

    The signals that put someone on the list

    Workflow-first, not hype-first

    We document what a working team does on a Tuesday — prompts, tooling, pipelines, handoffs — and what it cost them to get there.

    Pay and job impact

    We track new roles (AI ops, prompt engineer, LLM reviewer) and the wage impact on existing ones, by sector and city.

    Africa-native tooling

    Special focus on products built by African teams for African contexts — data, language, regulation, payments.
