About Ayiha Labs

Software with depth,built for real-world impact.

Ayiha Labs is a full-service software company building fast, elegant, and reliable digital products for African and global clients. From SaaS platforms and mobile apps to AI-powered tools and university systems, we combine engineering discipline, thoughtful design, and a warm, human approach.

Rooted in intention, built for the world

Ayiha Labs takes its name from the Fon word 'Ayixa' - the place of heart, mind, and inner being. For us, it represents how great software should be built: with clear intent, empathy for the people using it, and the courage to pursue deep, meaningful work rather than shallow trends.

We started as a small engineering effort between Benin and Cyprus, building internal tools, student platforms, and AI-powered experiences that had to work in the real world: unreliable networks, complex institutions, and users who don't have time for bad UX. That pressure shaped our standards for performance, reliability, and clarity.

Today, Ayiha Labs operates as a multi-product innovation lab: delivering custom software, refining platforms like BrollyHub, Aveem University System, Ahidaho, and RenoSmarter, and helping teams bring ambitious ideas to production. We treat every project like part of a long-term ecosystem, not a one-off build.

Our goal is simple: prove that African-born technology can stand shoulder to shoulder with the best in the world-through disciplined engineering, thoughtful design systems, and software that feels as good to use as it is solid under the hood.

What we stand for

Principles that shape every product

Ayiha Labs is not just a collection of projects. It is a way of building: focused, reliable, and human. These values guide how we think, design, and ship software.

1

Craftsmanship over shortcuts

We care about architecture, naming, tests, and clarity. Every feature should be understandable six months from now, not just impressive in a demo.

2

Reliability as a baseline

We design for uptime, performance, and predictable behavior. Systems must scale, degrade gracefully, and stay trustworthy when they matter most.

3

Human-centered by default

Dashboards, flows, and tools are built for real people with real constraints. We obsess over friction, readability, and interfaces people can trust quickly.

4

Conscious use of AI

AI is an instrument, not a gimmick. We integrate assistants, automation, and prediction where they create true leverage-ethically and transparently.

5

Long-term partners, not vendors

We design with the next version in mind. Documentation, clean APIs, and maintainable codebases ensure our clients can grow without starting from zero.

Cotonou, Benin

Headquartered in Cotonou, Benin—in the heart of Francophone West Africa. But we work with clients and collaborators from all over the world.
