Theodore-AI · Pretoria, South Africa
We build focused, governed AI products, each made for one job and trained on knowledge you trust. Our products serve education, workforce and leadership development, healthcare, financial services, corporate and investment teams, and startups.
In market
Governed generative AI tools: board pack summaries for authorised leaders, workplace learning, and faster tender and bid responses, backed by consulting and training.
For boards, learning teams and bid teams
Change management and workforce development in one platform. It sits above your existing LMS, SharePoint and policies, so nothing migrates and it's live in days.
For HR, L&D and change leaders, and every employee
Trust MetricsObjective, FAIS-compliant fund comparison and analytics. Compares funds with their peer groups on return and cost, and flags stale data and peer drift.
For South African financial advisors
Live prototypes
Working prototypes you can click through today. Pilot one with us and help shape what ships.
An AI operating partner that keeps every spend, hire, engineering decision and deal tied to the goals the board agreed, and challenges decisions before money is spent.
For VC-backed startups, boards and fractional executives
Compliance and medication safety for South African pharmacy. Cited answers on pharmacy law and medicines, script checks, medication reviews and inspection readiness.
For pharmacies, practices, clinics and hospitals
A curriculum-trained study companion that runs under an institution's brand and keeps its content inside a closed model. Quizzes, flashcards, exam gap analysis and an educator dashboard.
For publishers, universities and colleges
In development
Early-stage products and custom builds. Bring your expertise or your problem, and build with us.
Bring the knowledge and the problem. We bring a proven engine and take a prototype to a live pilot in about 90 days.
For domain experts and organisations with a trusted knowledge base
AI-assisted drafting of high-stakes documents from your approved templates, clause libraries and past work: contracts, board papers, investment memos, term sheets, policies and proposals. Every draft follows house style and pre-approved positions, and shows its sources.
For corporate legal and finance teams, boards, and VC and private equity firms
Narrow AI for official law publishers. It drafts headnotes, consolidations and links from the official corpus only, makes every citation a link, and checks each one for existence, version and context. Anything doubtful goes to an editor before it is published.
For law reporting councils, judiciaries, parliaments and government printers
A mobile app that gives shop stewards the same preparation employers get from HR software and attorneys. Describe what happened in any of South Africa's 11 official languages, upload the documents, and get case strategies backed by CCMA awards and the union's own agreements.
For shop stewards and union members
Case, hearing and award management for the CCMA and bargaining councils. It triages referrals, briefs commissioners, links hearing notes to the record, drafts awards from the commissioner's own findings, then manages sign-off, service on the parties and publication. Every signed award strengthens the knowledge base for consistent future decisions.
For commissioners, case management officers and registry teams
A pre-hearing check of expert reports in Road Accident Fund matters, prepared for the presiding judge. It cross-checks each report against the others, the hospital records, past judgments and the expert's earlier reports, recalculates the actuarial figures, and turns every flag into a sourced question for the hearing. Both parties see the same audit.
For judges, registrars and court case managers
Who we are
Anyone can open a general chatbot. Organisations win when their people get something better: AI that knows their content, follows their rules and protects their intellectual property. That is Artificial Narrow Intelligence, and it is the only kind of AI we build.
Each product is ring-fenced to its own knowledge base, so it stays on topic and cites where every answer comes from.
Role-based access, audit trails, local data residency and POPIA compliance come as standard.
Our products support decisions. A pharmacist, advisor, lecturer or board member always makes the final call.
We judge success by what people achieve: students passing, pharmacies staying compliant, advisors meeting their duty of care.
How we work together
A clear, staged process with sign-off at each step, so you always know what you're getting and when.
We learn the problem, the people who will use the product, the knowledge behind it and the outcome that matters.
A detailed design document sets the scope, and a clickable prototype lets you see and test the product before the build starts.
We build in short sprint cycles with a demo at the end of each, for fast feedback and to stay aligned with you.
We configure the product on your content and data, then test, test and test again for accuracy, security and user acceptance.
We go live, then monitor, maintain and keep improving the product as your needs change.
