Knowlix AI, a Munich-based startup founded in 2021 by Peter Meie and Francesco Wiedemann, launched an AI-powered business platform in 29 African countries and other global markets. The platform, built on open-source software, helps small businesses manage customer relationships, invoicing, inventory, and projects. It includes local tax settings, currencies, accounting standards, and legal requirements for supported countries. An AI Teammate feature can draft quotes and invoices. Paid plans start at $24.90 per month after a free trial. Businesses in supported African markets including Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, South Africa, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Zambia, and Egypt can use the platform from launch. Knowlix AI does not yet have customers in Africa. According to techcabal.com, the GSM Association suggests AI could increase Africa’s economy by $2.9 trillion by 2030. According to cscafrica.com, the International Finance Corporation estimates that Africa hosts approximately 44 million micro, small, and medium enterprises.
