Building AI Tools for Africa - Why I Charge $2 Instead of $20

Silicon Valley builds AI for Silicon Valley prices.

I build for Lagos. Manila. Jakarta. Nairobi.

The Math

  • ChatGPT Plus: $20/month
  • Average daily wage in Nigeria: $7
  • That is almost 3 days of work for one month of AI

LOUIE: $2/month

Same Claude AI. 90% cheaper.

Try it free right now:

10% of revenue goes to animal rescue. Because why not do good while building?


No VC money. No enterprise sales. Just affordable AI for everyone.
