Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning

Production AI for African problems.

We design, train, and operate AI and machine learning systems for African contexts, including model selection, training data, and ongoing evaluation.

The practice

Production AI for African problems.

PANEOTECH designs, trains, and operates AI and machine learning systems for institutional clients. The practice combines applied machine learning depth with the operational discipline of running ML in production, in environments where accuracy is non-negotiable and traceability is required. We build AI that holds up under audit, not AI that holds up in a demo.

Capabilities

Across the AI and machine learning stack.

Applied ML

Classical and deep learning model development for forecasting, classification, anomaly detection, and the structured prediction problems institutional clients actually face.

Generative AI

LLM-based agent platforms, retrieval-augmented generation systems, document intelligence pipelines, and the guardrails that make generative AI safe in regulated contexts.

Computer vision

Image and video analysis pipelines for satellite imagery, surveillance, document processing, and the operational use cases that benefit from machine perception.

NLP and language

Text classification, named entity recognition, multi-language pipelines including African language support, and the language engineering institutional content workflows require.

Model evaluation

Rigorous evaluation frameworks, fairness audits, drift detection, and the ongoing assurance work that distinguishes models that get deployed from models that should.

Production ML

Model serving, feature stores, monitoring and observability, and the MLOps disciplines that keep deployed models reliable across the full lifecycle.

At a glance

AfricanLanguages prioritised across NLP and conversational engagements
Why it matters

Most AI systems fail in operations.

An AI model is easy to train and difficult to operate. The hard parts are the parts that come after the demo: model drift, edge cases that surface only in production, the audit obligations institutional clients have, the cost discipline that keeps inference economics from breaking the business case. Our practice is built around those hard parts, because they are what determines whether AI actually delivers value.

In the field

Where we apply this expertise.

A selection of PANEOTECH projects that draw on this area of expertise.

Continental

Public Sector Collaboration Hub for the African Capacity Building Foundation

A continental digital platform commissioned by the African Capacity Building Foundation, a specialised agency of the African Union, that consolidates Public Financial Management diagnostics, reform case studies, peer learning workspaces, and an academy integration into a single environment for senior public officials across all African Union member states. Currently in delivery, with the public-facing site live at https://pschub.africa.

Mauritania

HydroMet AI, AI-Powered Early Warning System for Hydrometeorological Hazards in the Senegal River Valley

A national early warning system delivered by PANEOTECH for UNDP Mauritania, in joint venture with Effica SYS Co SARL, to anticipate hydrometeorological hazards in the Senegal River Valley. The system combines a stacked LSTM neural network with the SWAT hydrological model and ingests data from seven complementary global sources, including Open-Meteo, NASA POWER, GloFAS via Copernicus, and CHIRPS and SMAP via Google Earth Engine. Alerts are validated by institutional operators before diffusion across SMS, WhatsApp, email, web, mobile, radio, and television channels.

Continental

Climate Watch Africa, Continental Climate Intelligence Platform with the Climate Insight AI Agent

A continental climate intelligence platform developed by PANEOTECH for POLIWATCH AFRICA, covering all fifty-four African Union member states. The platform consolidates climate, energy, and socio-economic data into thematic dashboards and country profiles, and exposes the Climate Insight AI Agent, a natural language interface for conversational query, cross-referencing, and trend narration over the consolidated corpus.

Continental

DiraCore, Pan-African Agricultural Data Infrastructure

A Pan-African agricultural data infrastructure that turns fragmented smallholder data into structured digital assets, supporting financial analysis, EUDR deforestation compliance, voluntary carbon market certification, and credit scoring. Designed for Pan-African Management Services with operations across East and West Africa.

Continental

Anti-Illicit Financial Flows Policy Tracker

A continental analytical platform tracking anti-illicit-financial-flows policies across more than fifty African countries. Built for Tax Justice Network Africa, the African Union and ATAF to support implementation of the Mbeki Report recommendations on illicit financial flows from Africa.

Continental

All Business Africa, Pan-African Business Intelligence and Deal Platform

A pan-African business intelligence and deal platform delivered by PANEOTECH for POLIWATCH AFRICA, covering all fifty-four African Union member states. The platform consolidates verified company directories, investment deal flow, funding and tender opportunities, and market intelligence into a single environment for entrepreneurs, investors, development finance institutions, corporates, and policymakers. The platform is co-owned and jointly operated by POLIWATCH AFRICA and PANEOTECH going forward.
