Kindri Edge / The path to an AI-powered business
Two steps:
think with AI, then build with it.
So AI becomes how you work every day, not an experiment you try sometimes.
02
Build systems that scale
Work with Nick and Ali to build AI employees and automated workflows that handle repeatable work across your business.
The goal is not to add complexity. It is to expand what your business can do with systems your team can understand and keep using.
Why the work matters
Make room for the work only you can do.
Asana asked more than 10,000 office workers how they actually spend their day. More than half of it went on work about work: chasing updates, hunting for information, switching between apps, and meetings that could have been a message.
And that's in places like London, New York and Sydney. Running a business in Africa, you can add:
Power cutsTrafficSuppliers who don't showClients who pay late
We can't fix the grid. We can give you back the hours.
The leverage gap
58%
of the working day goes on work about work, not the work that grows the business.
In Edge you build AI employees for the gold part: the chasing, drafting, sorting and admin. So more of your day goes on the purple.

Inside the ten weeks
Ten weeks. One part of the business at a time.
Each week, live with Nick and Ali, you take one department and build an AI employee for it. By week 9 you have an AI team working across your business, and you built every one of them.
Week 0
Get ready
Set up your AI workspace
Tools set up, privacy sorted, and AI taught who you are, so it stops sounding like a stranger.
Week 1
Business Brain
Build your Business Brain
Your company, clients, prices and voice in one place that every AI employee reads first. Everything after this builds on it.
Week 2
Marketing
Build your AI marketing assistant
Writes posts, emails and adverts in your brand voice. You edit instead of starting from a blank page.
Week 3
Sales
Build your AI sales assistant
Preps you before every call, handles objections and drafts proposals in minutes instead of evenings.
Week 4
Operations and people
Build your AI operations assistant
Turns meetings into actions with owners, writes your step-by-step guides (SOPs), and helps you hire. Your team stops waiting on you for answers.
Week 5
Customer care
Build your AI customer care assistant
Drafts replies to customer questions in your voice, so customers hear back fast and your team only handles what needs a human.
Week 6
Finance
Build your AI finance assistant
A cash flow dashboard that shows what's coming in, what's going out and who still owes you, built with tools that work in your market.
Week 7
Builder I
Build your own apps
Simple apps, websites and dashboards for your business, made by you, without hiring a developer.
Week 8
Builder II
Connect your AI team
Plug your Business Brain into every AI employee, so marketing, sales, operations, customer care and finance all work from the same facts.
Week 9
Demo day
Show what you built
Present your AI team to the cohort and leave with a plan for what to automate next.
Inside Kindri Edge
One Business Brain.
A whole business connected.
Most AI gives generic answers because it knows nothing about you. The Business Brain fixes that: a set of documents about your company, clients, prices and voice that every AI employee reads before it does anything. You start it in week 1 and add to it every week.

The difference is how work flows
Your business shouldn't stop every time you do.
Normal businesses or Kindri businesses?

Founder story · 01 / 03
VA Corps / Rent A Room
Sean Walpole
AI systems guiding his team's day-to-day workflows.
“I was already using ChatGPT every day to run my business, but Edge showed me what we could actually build and automate. We've now got real AI systems running the day-to-day and guiding the team through every step of their workflow. The ROI has been incredible, everyone's days are structured far more efficiently, and work that used to take me a full day I now handle in minutes. That frees me to focus on what matters most, serving our clients and growing the business.”
Individual experiences shared by Edge founders. Outcomes vary by business and implementation.
The people behind Kindri
Two perspectives.
One Kindri.
We’re Nick and Ali. One of us comes at business through operations and systems. The other through people and how they change. Edge brings those two things together.
We teach the sessions ourselves. You work directly with us on your business, alongside a cohort doing the same.
Nick’s story
From running businesses
to building better systems.
Nick has spent a decade launching and scaling businesses across multiple markets, from craft breweries to manufacturing. When the right systems weren’t there, he had to build them.
His first business dashboard came together in Lagos, without a course or a framework to follow. It took months of trial and error. That experience is part of why Kindri exists: founders shouldn’t have to figure out every step alone.
What Nick brings to Edge: the operator’s perspective, grounded in real business work.
Ali’s story
New tools only matter
when people use them.
Ali has spent his career helping people think differently and act on it. That is the other half of the Kindri story: building a system is one thing; helping a team change how it works is another.
In Edge, that means making space for questions, working through what feels unfamiliar, and turning new thinking into practical action. The goal isn’t just a clever demonstration. It’s a team that feels able to use what it has built.
What Ali brings to Edge: the people side of making a new way of working stick.

FAQ / EDGE
You might be thinking…
The questions founders ask before they commit. Still wondering? Email nick@kindri.ai.
Before you commit
That's usually the reason to do it. Edge is one live session a week, about two hours, and every session is recorded. Between sessions, you're building inside your own business on work you'd be doing anyway, done a better way. The total build time depends on what you choose to work on. If you're too busy to take ten weeks to fix why you're too busy, the next ten weeks will look exactly like the last ten.
Run it with your own numbers. If three people each get three hours back a week at $25 an hour, that's about $11,700 a year in recovered capacity, before other benefits. That's an illustration, not a promised return; use your own figures. The systems you build keep working after the ten weeks are over, and you can pay in instalments over four months.
You can. Nick did. He built his first business dashboard in Lagos with no course, no framework and no one to ask, through months of trial and error. That's exactly why Edge exists. The question isn't whether you could; it's whether the next year of evenings is the best use of your time when you could have a working system in ten weeks, with your team, alongside people who've already made the mistakes.
Many courses show you what AI can do and leave you to work out how to apply it. Edge is implementation: each week you build something inside your own business, live, and leave with practical work in place. The examples are grounded in real businesses and operating conditions, not generic overseas case studies with the currency changed.
Every business has marketing, sales, operations, customer success and finance. Those are the departments we build, one at a time. The details differ from business to business, which is why the sessions and clinics are live. We work with real operating conditions like WhatsApp-first customers, power cuts and clients who pay late.
You don't need to be. Working with AI is a communication skill as much as a technical one. If you can explain how your business works to a new hire, you can teach AI to do real work. We start with the foundations in Week 0.
Then Edge can matter even more. Right now you may be doing the marketing, sales, operations and finance yourself. Edge helps you build AI support into those areas, so you can decide when to hire because the business needs it, not because you're drowning.
Giving people a tool without training or guardrails can create more work. In Edge, your team learns what to build, how to build it and what not to put into AI. Each person builds around their role, so it can become part of the daily work rather than another experiment.
The aim is the opposite: take repetitive work off people's plates so they can spend more time on the work they were hired to do. Team members who learn to build AI systems can become even more valuable to the business.
Use the investment example above with your own figures. If you'd like help making the case, email Nick at nick@kindri.ai and we'll point you to the right information.
Because we've lived it. Nick has spent a decade launching and scaling businesses across multiple markets, from craft breweries to multi-market manufacturing, and building systems when the right ones weren't available. Ali has spent his career helping people think differently and act on it. We teach the Edge sessions live, ourselves.
That's normal, and it's worth noticing. Hesitation can show up right before a real change, not only when something is wrong for you. Ask yourself: if the next ten weeks look exactly like the last ten, is that okay? If the honest answer is no, apply. It costs nothing, and you decide when enrolment opens.
The practical bits
There's one live session a week, about two hours, plus optional clinics if you're stuck or want to go further. We'll confirm the day and time before the cohort begins and share it in EAT, WAT and SAST.
Every session is recorded and posted in the Kindri community within 24 hours, along with the handouts and prompts.
Yes, and we recommend it. Team seats cost less than a founder place, and each team member gets their own onboarding.
We share pricing after you apply. Edge is priced for business owners, team seats cost less, and you can pay in instalments over four months.
You'll need a paid Claude account: Pro if it's just you, Team if you're bringing staff. A free account isn't enough for the programme. In Week 0, we'll set it up together, including the privacy settings.
Week 0 covers practical data handling, including privacy settings, switching off model training where available, and what should and shouldn't go into AI. We discuss data-protection considerations in Kenya, Nigeria and South Africa. This is practical guidance, not legal advice.
You get the Kindri community, session replays and handouts, prompt libraries and department kits, clinics when you're stuck, and a demo day at the end to present what you've built and receive your certificate.
Show up to at least 75% of the sessions, live or on replay, and complete the weekly builds. If you’ve done your part and you don’t have AI systems working in your business by Week 7, tell us before the Week 7 session and we’ll refund you in full.
The next cohort is capped at 50 businesses. Team seats do not count toward that limit. Applicants receive their personal enrolment link by email when places open.
The next cohort starts 6 January 2027. Apply now. It takes a minute and costs nothing. We'll email you what happens next, send you The Kindri 10 free, and email you your enrolment link when doors open.
