OrionX
Company profile
We put the tools of intelligence in every hand.
So progress becomes inevitable. An AI-first intelligence platform built from first principles — African roots, global ambition.
Three statements. Each does different work.
Layered, not interchangeable — the dream we can see, the why we exist, the promise we keep every day.
The vision points us. The MTP names us. The mission is what we ship by Friday.
One platform. The whole day's work.
Uhuru AI — "freedom" in Swahili — is the consumer platform: proprietary models and the tools built around them, delivering the final product you need, not just a chat box.
Uhuru Chat
Conversational intelligence powered by the Helios frontier line — with vision, voice, files, web and image generation built in.
One unified surface for everything you write.
Personal cloud that organises itself.
Repository-aware coding and custom agent building.
Generation and organisation — one account.
The business cloud — and the infrastructure Uhuru AI itself runs on. What we trust with our own platform is what we offer to yours.

One frontier. Many specialists.

The everyday agent with the full tool suite — plus Turbo when speed wins.

Drafting & counsel for African jurisdictions.
Specialist intelligence for the living world.
Care-grade intelligence, in the works.
Hyper-personalised learning at greyed.org.
African is where we're from. Excellence is what we deliver.
We build from the ground up — original thinking on real problems, not translations of someone else's product.
AI should not be a luxury. From $0, in USD, BWP and ZAR — for the student in Gaborone and the enterprise in Los Angeles.
Enterprise-grade quality in every interaction. No compromises on performance, security or experience.
Clear, honest communication — what you get, what it costs, how your data is handled.
Built on Earth. Serving the world.
Africa HQ at Kgale Mews, Gaborone; US office in Los Angeles. Serving markets across Africa, the Americas, Europe and Asia.
Sovereign by design — models, data and value that stay close to the people they serve.
We ship. Then we go further.
Every model and product named on this page is built and in market. Uhuru Labs is the research arm that works ahead of the roadmap — and what it builds is announced when it ships, not before.
Helios frontier, Helios agentic, U4.1 Turbo — trained and serving.
Legal, biodiversity and education domains — healthcare next.
Web, iOS, Android and desktop — in market, in three currencies.
Research in progress stays confidential until release. Everything above is already live.
