Program 01
Education for every classroom
Putting a patient, curriculum-aligned AI tutor inside every secondary school in Somaliland, starting with the manhaj and extending to exam prep, teacher support and special needs learning.
The Cassivelle Foundation
We did not build Cassivelle to sell AI. We built it to give it a home.
The Cassivelle Foundation is the part of the company that refuses to wait. Its job is to move the capability gap between the Horn of Africa and the rest of the world, one deployed agent, one trained model, one institution at a time. Everything else in Cassivelle exists to make that work possible.
Three programs
Education, health, and civic intelligence. Built for the ground we stand on.
These are the three places we believe specialized AI can move a region the most, the fastest, with the least theatre. Every Cassivelle agent lives inside one of them.
Program 02
Clinical intelligence for the public health system
Training domain-specific clinical models with the Ministry of Health, so nurses, clinicians and public health officers have a second pair of eyes trained on local cases, medication and protocols.
Program 03
Civic agents for institutions
Building specialized agents for ministries, parliaments and civic forums that take on the heavy lifting of legislation, translation, policy research and public service delivery.
Why we started
We got tired of
waiting our turn.
We grew up watching intelligent systems roll out across other continents, one industry at a time, while our region was treated as a later market, or a translation project, or worst of all, a pilot for someone else's roadshow. The software that showed up was never quite designed for us. The partners who arrived always left. The real gap kept widening, quietly, while everyone else called it progress.
Cassivelle was started by a small group of engineers, data specialists and civic minds who refused to accept that the Horn of Africa should be last in line for the most consequential technology of the century. We did not want a representative in the room. We wanted to build the room.
We chose to start with the institutions that carry the most weight with the fewest tools. A ministry, a parliament, a hospital, a museum, a classroom. If our agents can move the work inside those four walls, they can move the region.
Mission
Put the best intelligence in the world inside the institutions that need it the most.
We build specialized agents and models that take on the heavy lifting inside real institutions. Our mission is to move capability from the few regions that already have it into the many regions that have been asked to wait for it. Ship by ship, not speech by speech.
Vision
A Horn of Africa where intelligence is a standard utility, not an import.
A decade from now, we want a student in Hargeisa, a clinician in Mogadishu and a legislator in Garowe to reach for a capable AI system the way they reach for electricity. Not because a foreign company arrived, but because we built the grid ourselves, together with the institutions that run the region.
How we work
Four principles that do not move.
- 01
Ship or step aside
Every program we announce exists to ship. We do not publish roadmaps we are not willing to stand behind in front of the people they affect.
- 02
Local data, local stewardship
The data we train on belongs to the institution and the region that produced it. Our infrastructure is built so it can be audited, inspected and eventually owned by our partners.
- 03
Teachers before tools
Wherever an agent meets a person who already does the work, the person is the senior author. The agent is the junior who learns the house style.
- 04
No theatre
No synthetic demos, no cosmetic pilots, no launch events that outrun the product. If a system is not ready for a real user tomorrow, we do not talk about it today.
Standing alongside
We partner with
international NGOs
and institutions that
show up for the region.
The Cassivelle Foundation does not work alone. We partner with governments, public institutions and international humanitarian organizations who bring the problem, the data and the trust of their communities. We bring the engineering. Nothing moves in Cassivelle without a partner who has skin in the work.

Join the work
If you lead an institution with real work to do, we want to hear from you.
Governments, ministries, humanitarian organizations, civic forums, universities. If you carry the weight and need the intelligence to match, the Foundation is how we start the conversation.
