Kamry One
kamry

Every business can run on AI.
Most just can't hire for it.

Kamry gives your whole office its own AI. It lives in your building, it keeps working when the internet does not, and nothing you type ever leaves.

Pre-seed · 2026 · Francis Igbriki & Amford Damilola
A product of Ajian Labs
Intelligence, on-premise.

Every business wants AI. Almost none can get to it.

01 / The hireYou cannot staff it

A working AI engineer costs $2,000 to $3,000 a month, if you can find and keep one. Nine in ten African businesses report an AI skills shortage.

$2,000–3,000 per month
02 / The rentYou never stop paying

Cloud AI is billed per seat and per token, in dollars you do not earn. A 20 person business pays $5,000 to $50,000 a year, and the bill never ends.

Forever, in dollars
03 / The exposureEverything leaves

Every prompt, file and record goes to a foreign server. Client files, patient records, financials. The law has been catching up to exactly this.

45 countries · 39 regulators
Result

Most businesses are stuck between an AI team they cannot hire and a cloud they cannot trust with the work that matters.

01 / 22
Why we're building this

We tried to hire our way into AI. We couldn't.

Before Kamry, one of us tried to build an AI model for his own logistics business. No technical co-founder, no AI background. He hit the wall every non technical founder hits: retrieval, data pipelines, memory optimisation, evaluation.

Learning it himself would take months he did not have. Hiring for it cost more than the business could justify for one project. There was no product that would simply build it for him.

That gap is Kamry.

We're not guessing at the problem. We lived it.

Your knowledge base is the product. It has to stay yours.

Every country in Africa
39 regulators live 45 laws enacted 54 countries
38% internet penetration against 68% globally (ITU 2024).
Africa took 3% of global data-centre investment (UNCTAD 2025).
Lagos · Legal

Client files cannot leave the firm's control without creating compliance exposure and professional risk.

Nairobi · Health

Patient data used to power a care or triage agent faces the same cross border restrictions as any other transfer.

Pan-African · Fintech

Verification and transaction data used to train an agent has to stay within regulatory reach.

Every new data law, and every outage, makes on-premise the default.

Day two onward

Then it runs itself

Kamry OS is built for the office manager, not the machine-learning team.

Operate

Live tokens per second and queue depth. Hot-swap models in under five seconds. Queue heavy work overnight. Seats, roles and instant revocation.

Understand

Which model and which documents produced an answer. Usage and failure rate per agent. Cloud spend avoided, in naira.

Comply

Every prompt logged on the appliance. A live statement of what left the building. Retention mapped to your jurisdiction, with verifiable deletion.

Maintain

Temperature, wear and power draw. Rides out cuts and resumes after. Updates over the air or from offline media. Support sessions you switch on.

Status

Kamry OS is specified and in active development. This round funds it, and it ships with Batch 01. We would rather say that than show you a mockup.

An AI agent, built on your business, without an AI team

Tell us what you want automated. We build the agent, grounded in your own knowledge base, mixed with public data only where it genuinely helps. You do not hire, learn or maintain any of it.

Your data

Contracts, records, playbooks, tickets. Whatever the agent needs to know.

+
Public data

Mixed in only where it genuinely improves the answers.

Kamry Builder

Assisted build: retrieval, fine-tuning, evaluation, done for you.

Your agent

Running on your appliance, or deployed into your app and tools.

Price

$1,600 to $2,000, scoped after onboarding, live in about a month. A fraction of one month of an AI engineer's salary.

Vision

Any business can become an AI-native business

Built right, the agent becomes the interface. The business does not have to change to become AI-native. Only the front door does.

Customer
I need a pickup from Yaba tomorrow morning, going to Lekki.
The agent
Yaba to Lekki, tomorrow before noon. That is ₦12,500. Shall I book it?
Customer
Yes, book it.
The agent
Booked and paid. Your driver arrives at 9:40.
No form

No menu tree, no back-office re-entry. The conversation is the checkout.

The interface changes. The business doesn't have to.

Why now. Three things became true at once.

2024–2026 · The modelsOpen weights caught up

Open-source models reached frontier-class quality and kept it. The intelligence stopped being the scarce, expensive part of the problem.

Free, and improving quarterly
CES 2026 · The hardware120B fits on a desk

Sparse mixture-of-experts inference put 120B-class models inside a 130W envelope. On-premise stopped needing a server room or a cooling budget.

130W, on an inverter
2023–2026 · The lawEnforcement arrived

African data protection laws moved from statute books into active enforcement, and cross-border transfer became a real liability rather than a policy footnote.

45 countries · 39 regulators
And the market

Africa's AI market grows from $4.5B to $16.5B by 2030, at 27.4% a year (Mastercard). Nigeria is second on the continent for AI startups.

Two years ago this was impossible. Two years from now it will be crowded.

Go to market

Everyone relates. We start where the pain is sharpest.

01Confidentiality is existential. Client files cannot leave the building.
02Text documents are the ideal workload, and analysis can run overnight.
03Real budgets. Top firms spend $100,000 to $300,000 a year on legal tech.
04Partners decide fast. Short sales cycles, one signature.
05NDPA enforcement is rising, and on-premise is the clean answer.
Phase 1Legal, Lagos

Draft contracts, analyse case files, summarise discovery. All on the premises, all confidential.

Then

Healthcare, then financial services.

Then

Government, then every office renting AI.

The product is universal. The sales motion is sequenced. Discipline is the strategy.

Go to market · Channel two

The fastest way into a firm is somebody it already trusts

We are partnering with the companies that digitise physical records for law firms, hospitals and agencies. They finish a project and hand a client thousands of searchable documents. We turn that pile into something the client can actually ask questions of.

01 / The partner
They scan the archive

Document digitisation firms already sit inside the exact organisations we want, and they are trusted there.

02 / The corpus
The client is left holding data

The project ends with a client owning a large digital archive and no idea what to do with it.

03 / The introduction
A warm intro, not a cold call

The partner introduces us to the decision maker. The trust is already there and the need is obvious.

04 / The fee
They earn on every close

We pay a referral fee on each deal. The partner monetises a relationship twice on the same project.

Also running

Founder-led direct sales into Lagos legal, and job-board interception: companies advertising for an AI engineer have already told the market they have the problem.

First digitisation partner conversation is underway.

Three-year revenue$13,050

Kamry One. Hardware ($9,450) plus $100 a month for 36 months.

Three-year revenue$21,500

Kamry One Pro ($17,900), on the same platform basis.

Say it plainly

Delivered hardware margins (14–24%) fully absorb logistics, duties and warranty. The platform relationship compounds recurring value long after the sale.
