Afri AI Frontier
AI, told from the African frontier.
Mission
Document, explain and accelerate the AI work happening across Africa — for founders, engineers and policy readers.
The Problem
AI coverage aimed at Africa is either shallow hype or imported from elsewhere. Local practitioners have few places to publish serious writing, and non-technical readers have nowhere trustworthy to catch up.
