AI · Software · Automation Johannesburg, South Africa
Algori is an AI & software studio engineering agents, automations and platforms for companies who would rather own the future than rent it.
01 — The studio
No brittle no-code stacks held together by hope. Real architecture, version control, tests, monitoring — software you can bet a business on.
You see working software every two weeks. Scope moves with what we learn, and you never wait a quarter to find out whether it worked.
A senior team in Johannesburg working across SAST, CET and EST. World-class engineering, without the London or New York invoice.
02 — Services
Six practices, one team. Most engagements braid two or three together.
Agents that qualify leads, answer customers, read documents and run operations around the clock — grounded in your data, speaking in your voice, working inside the tools your team already lives in.
We map the manual, then remove it. Quoting, onboarding, reconciliation, reporting, approvals — the sequences quietly eating a day a week get rebuilt as systems that simply run.
Web platforms, customer portals, dashboards, mobile apps and the unglamorous internal tools that decide whether a company scales. Designed properly, engineered to last, shipped fast.
Meet people where they already are. WhatsApp Business, Slack, Microsoft Teams, email, voice and web — a single intelligence layer behind every door, with your CRM kept honest in the background.
Licensable AI platforms for agencies, SaaS founders and enterprises who want intelligence as a product line. Multi-tenant, branded per client, metered and billed — your logo on the front, our engineering underneath.
Lead engines that find, enrich, score and open conversations with the right people — then hand your sales team only the warm ones, with the context already written.
03 — How we work
04 — Selected work
Client names withheld under NDA. Happy to walk you through any of these live.
68% of orders now self-serve
Catalogue, stock, order capture and payment links — all inside a WhatsApp thread, handing over to a human the moment it matters.
4 days → 6 hrs claim triage
Document extraction, policy matching and fraud signals, with a human approving every decision the model isn't certain about.
1,900 hrs recovered per year
Scheduling, proof-of-delivery capture and exception routing stitched across three legacy systems that were never meant to speak.
12 tenants live on one platform
A white-label assistant an agency resells under its own brand — multi-tenant, metered, billed and branded per client from day one.
The toolkit
“They replaced a team of spreadsheets with something that actually thinks.”
05 — Questions
If yours isn't here, ask us directly. We answer in plain numbers and dates, not brochure language.
We price the project, not the hour, so you approve a number before anything starts. The Discover session costs nothing and ends with a written scope and estimate — if the maths doesn't work, you keep the map and owe us nothing. We will also tell you when the honest answer is a two-week automation rather than the platform you came in asking for.
Two weeks. We build in fortnightly cycles inside your staging environment, so you are clicking on real software at the end of the first cycle instead of reviewing slides. Most full builds run six to ten weeks, depending on how many existing systems we have to integrate with — and integrations, not models, are almost always what sets the timeline.
You do — entirely. Code, infrastructure, prompts, model configuration, evaluation suites and documentation live in your repositories and your cloud accounts from day one. There is no licence fee for running what you paid us to build, and no version of this where leaving us means losing your system.
That is often the best arrangement. We take the part your team hasn't done before — agent architecture, evals, model selection, the integration nobody wants to own — and hand it over with documentation your engineers can actually work from. We would rather leave your team able to extend it than leave them dependent on us.
Most clients keep us on a monthly retainer for monitoring, model updates and the next round of improvements. Guardrails need tuning against real traffic, and the model landscape moves fast enough that a system built today deserves attention in six months. If you would rather run it in-house, we train your team and step back — that is a legitimate ending, not a lost account.
Most of our work is. Johannesburg overlaps a full working day with Europe and gives us a clean morning handover to the US East Coast. You get senior engineering on your calendar, at a rate that isn't priced in London or New York.
06 — Start here
Tell us what's slow, expensive or manual. We'll come back within one working day with an honest read on whether we can fix it — and roughly what it costs.
