Gebeya, a technology platform empowering Africans in the service economy, today announced the launch of Gebeya Dala, an AI powered app builder designed specifically for the African context. The platform allows users to create digital tools using simple voice or text prompts in local languages, directly from a mobile phone, democratizing software development across the continent.
Recognizing that existing AI assisted development tools are often designed without African realities in mind, Gebeya Dala addresses key local challenges such as limited access to laptops, the absence of credit cards, forex barriers, and the need for multilingual support.
“While global tools for AI assisted coding are emerging, they often overlook Africa’s unique context,” said Amadou Daffe, CEO and Co Founder of Gebeya. “Gebeya Dala was built to empower Africans to turn ideas into functional digital products, using their own language and mobile devices. This is a milestone in our mission to unlock Africa’s next wave of innovation.”
Key Features of Gebeya Dala:
Multilingual Natural Language Interface: Users can describe their app in languages including Amharic, Swahili, Hausa, Arabic, Lingala, Zulu, English, French, and more. The AI interprets commands and generates full stack code.
Mobile First Design: Designed for smartphones, making app creation accessible to millions without laptops.
Context Aware Generation: Produces solutions tailored to local markets and community needs.
Democratizing Development: Enables non technical users, including students, small business owners, and farmers, to build functional digital tools.
Early beta testing has validated the platform’s versatility, and Gebeya aims to onboard 30,000 users by the end of 2025.
Partnership and Growth Opportunities
To scale Gebeya Dala to reach 1 million Africans, Gebeya is seeking strategic partners, including:
Educational institutions and EdTech companies for curriculum integration and coding clubs.
Telecom companies and mobile platforms for app promotion and accessibility.
Youth empowerment organizations and NGOs to reach underserved communities. Government initiatives to align with national digital transformation strategies. Technology hubs and innovation centers to support prototyping and ideation.
Kaleab Girma, Head of Infrastructure at Gebeya, said: “We’ve built the engine for digital creation. Our goal is to empower every aspiring African innovator from teenagers in remote villages to entrepreneurs in cities to transform ideas into real-world digital solutions.”
Gebeya Dala is now live, and the company invites the community to explore the platform and provide feedback to help guide its development.
