Welcome to SabiSavvy
The Situation
Every week, another AI announcement. Another tool. Another promise that this will change everything.
If you lead an African organisation, you have likely felt the pressure. Board members ask about your AI strategy. Staff quietly use ChatGPT on company data. Competitors announce AI pilots. Consultants promise transformation.
The noise is deafening. The guidance is often worse.
Most AI advice is built for well-funded Silicon Valley startups. It assumes reliable power, cheap cloud computing, clear data governance, and teams who can afford to experiment. That is not the reality for most organisations in Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, or anywhere else on the continent.
SabiSavvy exists to close that gap.
What SabiSavvy is
We help African organisations make sense of AI — without hype, fear, or blind adoption.
We work with leaders, teams, and institutions who are being pressured to “do something with AI” without clear guidance on what that actually means for their people, systems, or responsibilities.
This platform is where we share how we think.
You will find practical reflections drawn from real organisational contexts — especially within Nigeria and similar markets — where infrastructure, policy, culture, and capacity matter as much as the technology itself.
Our goal is not to convince you that AI will save your organisation. Our goal is to help you decide if, where, and how AI makes sense — safely, responsibly, and strategically.
What SabiSavvy is not
We are not chasing trends. We are not writing about every new model release or startup funding round. We are not producing technical tutorials for developers.
This is not a place for breathless AI optimism. Nor is it a place for doom and gloom. We aim for the middle ground: honest assessment, practical guidance, and respect for complexity.
If you want someone to tell you AI will fix all your problems, look elsewhere. If you want someone to help you ask better questions before you spend money or take risks, you are in the right place.
Practical takeaway
- Treat SabiSavvy as a thinking partner, not a news feed.
Dip in when a question comes up. You do not need to read everything. - Share posts internally. Use them to spark discussion before making AI decisions.
- Pressure-test assumptions. Before acting on AI advice from vendors or consultants, check if we have written about it.
Risks or limitations
If you are looking for certainty, you may not find it here. AI is moving fast, and anyone who claims to know exactly what will happen is guessing.
What we offer is clarity in uncertain terrain. A way to think through decisions before making them. A framework for asking better questions.
That is what SabiSavvy is. And that is what it is not.
