Expanding human potential with AI-enhanced digital solutions

Hey there! 👋 We're Baobab Tech, a human-centered technology organization that specializes in responsible use of AI for organizations making a difference in social, development and humanitarian work. We help build sustainable digital solutions that enhance human capabilities while tackling real-world challenges.

We are not a tech vendor, we are a solutions partners. We believe we can do AI very differently that where Big Tech wants to take us.

We amplify human potential and help organizations create greater impact through strategic AI consultation and custom digital solutions. Our human-centric approach ensures AI serves as a tool to elevate human capabilities, working alongside people to achieve meaningful goals.

• 🚀 Custom AI-Enhanced Digital Solutions - Building intuitive web and mobile applications powered by AI
• 🧭 Strategic AI Consultation - Guiding non-profit and social good organizations through their AI transformation journey
• 🤝 Knowledge and Innovation Partnerships - Enhancing the value of AI within development sectors
• 🌱 Enduring Partnerships - Building long-term relationships as strategic partners in digital transformation

We dive deep beyond buzzword solutions and surface-level AI implementations. Our team understands the underlying mechanics of modern AI systems and builds tailored workflows that maximize impact with minimal resources:

Frugal AI Engineering - We build cost-effective (agentic) RAG systems, optimized LLM workflows, and efficient data pipelines that deliver results without breaking budgets.

Custom Agentic Workflows - We design multi-step AI systems that automate complex decision-making processes, from document analysis to strategic planning.

Practical Implementation - We convert research-grade AI techniques into production-ready tools that organizations can actually use and maintain.

Evidence-Based AI - We measure real impact through rigorous evaluation frameworks tailored to humanitarian and development contexts.

We work with non-profits, civil society organizations and governments working in the humanitarian and development sectors, rights spaces (sexual reproductive health) and other social impact domains.

We're committed to developing open source social good tooling for AI applications. Our goal is to democratize access to AI-powered solutions that can drive positive impact in development and humanitarian contexts. We understand the risk of detractors misusing sensitive data and tooling and will deploy tools with trusted partners only in those cases.

More open source projects coming soon as we continue to build tools that serve the greater good. ✨

We believe in:

• Human-centric AI - Technology that augments human abilities
• Knowledge equity - Making AI accessible to all stakeholders
• Local leadership - Prioritizing AI and data sovereignty
• Evidence-based implementation - Rigorous evaluation matched to implementation stages
