About Us

Empowering African Learners with AI-Driven Education

Somai is Africa's AI-powered learning platform, purpose-built for students from Grade 1 through Form 4, aligned to national curricula across the continent.

Our Mission

We believe every African child deserves access to world-class, personalised learning — regardless of where they live or which school they attend. Somai was created to close the educational gap by placing an intelligent, always-available tutor in every student's pocket.

What Somai Does

Somai generates personalised quiz questions, flashcards, and full practice papers on demand using artificial intelligence. Every question is aligned to each country's national curriculum and calibrated to each learner's current proficiency level — automatically adjusting difficulty after every session.

Parents and guardians get a dedicated Guardian View dashboard that provides real-time insight into their child's progress: subject scores, daily streaks, weak areas, and AI-generated weekly summaries with actionable home-study tips. The platform supports over 12 subjects across all grade levels — from lower primary all the way through secondary school.

Students earn XP points, build daily streaks, unlock achievement badges, and compete in weekly challenges against peers nationwide — making revision feel less like a chore and more like a game worth winning.

Students (Grade 1 – Form 4)

Learners who want to revise smarter, track their own growth, and build confidence across every subject in their national curriculum.

Parents & Guardians

Families who want to stay informed and involved in their child's education, with clear data and practical study tips at their fingertips.

Across Africa

Somai works on any device with an internet connection — urban or rural, public or private school, across Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, Zambia and more.

Multi-Curriculum Support

Fully aligned to each country's national curriculum — CBC, NECTA, UNEB, REB, ECZ and more — covering all approved topics and exam objectives.

Who Builds Somai

Somai is built by a passionate team of African educators, software engineers, and learning designers who have seen firsthand how limited access to quality revision resources holds students back. We combine deep local curriculum knowledge with the latest advances in artificial intelligence to create tools that genuinely work for African students.

We are committed to keeping Somai free to start, ad-free, and continuously improving based on feedback from the families and students who use it every day.
