Karang Maths, but make it click.

Karang is an AI maths tutor that adapts to every learner: kids, teens and adults. Its tutor, Bantaba, builds each lesson around the learner's age, grade, country, pace and interests, using examples from their own world. It started as a tutor for WASSCE prep and Grade 4 maths, and is designed to feel local first while working anywhere.

  • Three modes: Kids (6 to 11) with big tap-to-answer tiles, Teen (12 to 15) with step-by-step lessons, and a quiet, focused Adult mode for exam prep
  • Socratic hints that guide learners to the answer instead of giving it away
  • Worked examples in LaTeX, adaptive quiz feedback and a sidebar chat for follow-up questions
  • Tracks strengths and weaknesses by concept and adapts to slow, normal or fast pace
  • Local context: familiar currencies and everyday items for The Gambia, Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana and South Africa

02 · Fintech & paymentsLive in The Gambia

HexAI Payment Gateway Every dalasi, on one live ledger.

One API for collections and payouts across Wave, APS, and cards, with a live ledger as the single source of truth for the money moving through a business. Plain REST and JSON with no SDK required, documented in an OpenAPI spec that is checked in CI so the docs can't drift from the API. Pricing is a single commission per successful transaction: no setup fee, no monthly fee, nothing charged on failed payments.

  • Collections: Wave, APS and card checkout from a single request, hosted and reconciled
  • Payouts that settle on each merchant's configured schedule
  • Every event delivered by webhook, signed with HMAC-SHA256, with automatic redelivery
  • Three requests is the whole integration; quickstart to a first payment in about 10 minutes
  • Sandbox and test keys, dashboard, analytics, team access and KYC onboarding included

Kernel The business operating system for African SMEs.

Kernel was born from a real failure. In Q1 2026 a client asked HexAI for every invoice ever issued to them, and we couldn't produce it: the records lived on a single laptop that became corrupted. Kernel makes that impossible. It covers invoices, bills, contacts, payments, bank reconciliation and audit-grade reporting, so a pharmacy in Serrekunda with a part-time bookkeeper never loses its financial history. HexAI is customer zero.

  • End-to-end finance: invoices, bills, contacts, payments and bank transactions
  • Immutable audit logs and reporting, with no data trapped on one device or in one person's head
  • Encrypted document vault for contracts, receipts and financial records
  • Built for low-bandwidth West Africa with server rendering and resilient sync
  • Next.js App Router, PostgreSQL, Prisma and JWT, deployed on DigitalOcean

Kambeng The Gambia's transparent crowdfunding platform.

Kambeng ("community" in Mandinka) lets Gambians fund what matters: real causes, real proof. Anyone can launch a campaign and collect donations by Wave, APS Mobile Money or card, then prove every dalasi was well spent with photos and receipts their donors can see. Donating takes under two minutes and needs no account.

  • Four steps from idea to impact: create a campaign, get ID-verified, share and collect, then prove and withdraw
  • Every campaigner passes a one-time national ID (KYC) check, usually within 24 hours
  • Donations by Wave, APS Mobile Money or Visa/Mastercard through the HexAI Payment Gateway
  • Withdrawals tied to uploaded receipts and photo proof that donors can see
  • Shareable campaign links and QR codes, plus a recurring-donation scheduler
