We solve business problems with AI and machine learning
About us
We optimise businesses using AI, machine learning and advanced algorithms. We are a South African tech innovation company that specialises in AI and machine learning. We focus on solving tough problems for our clients. Isazi was born after a newspaper article titled 'South Africa scores the lowest in Mathematics'. As scientists with advanced degrees in mathematics, we knew there and then that we had an obligation to solve Africa’s toughest problems in education and business. The word Isazi means 'bearer of knowledge' or 'scientist' in isiZulu, and our approach to data is fundamentally scientific. In a hypothesis-driven approach, we search for patterns and trends that lead us to a data-driven solution. We continuously test and update our models and algorithms, maintaining the state-of-the-art. Our approach is data-driven and business-oriented - maximising value creation for our clients.

Procurement in large organizations often involves navigating a labyrinth of legal agreements. Reviewing contracts for professional services or software licenses can be a time-consuming ordeal, often taking months to finalize. 🧠 But what if we could accelerate this process with the power of AI? At Isazi we've harnessed the power of transformer models, specifically a fine-tuned Transformer model (neural network) which is the underpinning of language models architecture, to develop an AI legal assistant that streamlines contract review. Our proprietary algorithm compares your organization's preferred terms against supplier agreements, accurately identifying deviations and generating a clear, concise summary document.

What an honour to share a panel with these guys!
📢 Last week, our team at Cadena Growth Partners had the honour of supporting the ground-breaking launch of Dr. Mark Nasila's book, "African Artificial Intelligence". ✨ As a company deeply committed to shaping the future as a positive force for Africa, we were immensely proud to amplify Dr. Nasila's vision. His insights urge us to nurture local talent, foster cross-sector collaborations, and establish ethical guardrails to ensure these transformative technologies truly uplift our communities. During the event, Valter Adão engaged in thought-provoking discussions alongside Ashley Anthony, Phokeng Mogase, Mic Mann, Kim Hulett, and Vukosi Marivate. For those who missed the live event, you can catch the playback here: https://lnkd.in/gYXSdhrP Reflecting on this event, it’s clear that our work extends far beyond business objectives. We have the opportunity—and a responsibility—to help steer positive growth across Africa through ethical development, skill-building, and inclusive dialogues. Let’s continue to champion innovation that not only drives progress but also ensures equitable and sustainable development for all. 📷 @JoshRuger #Leadership #DigitalTransfomation #AfricanAI #EthicalAI #InnovationForGrowth #CadenaGrowthPartners #FutureOfAfrica #AIForGood
