Technology consulting, building from Africa
We build the systems organisations run on.
Kathalysth designs, builds and runs data platforms, software, automation and cloud infrastructure for startups, growing businesses, governments and large enterprises, and helps them adopt AI in a way that lasts.
What we do
Six practices, one team.
Most projects draw on more than one. You work with a single team that is accountable for the result.
- 01Data and analyticsWe build data warehouses and pipelines that bring your records into one place, so teams can report on them, and so they are ready when you want to use AI.
- 02Software engineeringWe build and modernise web, mobile and back-office applications, and add AI features where they save your users real time.
- 03Process automationWe find the repetitive work in your operations and automate it, using AI to read documents and route requests where fixed rules fall short.
- 04Applied AIWe help organisations adopt AI: automating workflows, raising productivity and getting more from their data, with the training and embedded engineers to make it last.
- 05Cloud and infrastructureWe plan and run moves to the cloud, and can host your systems and AI models in the country where your data has to stay.
- 06Research and developmentOur R&D team tests new technology before our clients have to. We run proofs of concept, publish what we learn, and turn what works into products.
Applied AI
Helping organisations adopt AI.
AI adoption across Africa is still early, and few organisations have the in-house experience to start an AI programme or keep one going. We help close that gap.
- 01
Automate workflows
Hand repetitive tasks such as data entry, document review and routing to AI, with people approving the results.
- 02
Raise productivity
Give teams AI tools for drafting, research and analysis, and show them how to use them well.
- 03
Get insight from data
Turn the records you already hold into forecasts, alerts and answers your teams can act on.
- 04
Train and embed
Teach safe, ethical everyday use, and place our engineers in your team until it runs on its own.
How we deliver AI
Kathalysth Catalyst
Our four-step method for taking an AI idea from a question to a system people use every day. Kathalysth is a member of NVIDIA Inception.
- 01
Discover
We agree the decision or task to improve, and check you have the data to do it.
- 02
Prove
We build a working version on your own data, usually within a few weeks, so you can judge it before investing more.
- 03
Build
We connect it to your systems, test it, and add controls, including human review where mistakes would be costly.
- 04
Run
We monitor quality and cost after launch, and improve or retire the model as your needs change.
