Samora Kibagendi

Samora Kibagendi founded Jambo AI Studio in Nairobi to build practical AI products for East Africa — starting with the problem closest to home: a patient, affordable teacher for every Kenyan child, and a real window into progress for every parent.

Kitabu AI is built around one sentence: Kitabu gives your child a patient personal teacher at home — and gives you a window into how they’re really doing, before the report card arrives. Everything the team ships has to trace back to it.
