Markets
How does AI create useful, durable value in markets the wider industry often misunderstands?
Gioguide Lab
Where important questions become useful evidence
The Lab studies how AI can expand human capability in African markets, then connects what it learns to experiments, products and practical systems
Questions in view
Research grounded in the world around us
Work
Where can intelligence improve how people and organisations work without removing judgment or accountability?
Capability
What conditions help more African builders contribute meaningfully to the systems shaping their future?
The research method
Evidence should change what gets built
Frame the question
We begin with a consequential problem from the market, an organisation, a partner or our own product work
Study the evidence
We examine what is known, what has already been tried and what the people closest to the problem understand
Test in context
We use focused experiments to challenge assumptions and observe what happens under real constraints
Move the learning
Useful evidence informs a product, an enterprise system, a new experiment or knowledge shared with others
Research to product
The Lab does not sit apart from the work
A research question can shape a prototype. A product can reveal a new question. Enterprise work can expose a pattern worth studying. Each part strengthens the next
Work with the Lab
Bring a problem worth understanding
We work with domain experts, institutions and organisations that can deepen the evidence or help useful work reach the people it is meant to serve
