For Papermap.ai, a Ghanaian startup operating across Africa and the US, the solution may lie in an AI agent that understands how business users actually talk. It understands Pidgin, Twi, French, and other natural languages, allowing non-technical users to query company data as they would ask a colleague. “We originally started by building an inventory management platform powered by AI,” Sarfo told TechCabal in an interview. Today, Papermap is a no-code data platform that lets companies centralise their data and query it without hiring a data team. “We are more of a glass box AI,” Sarfo said.
