Three steps to your first call
Our aim is that you will not need an overseas card or a foreign billing account. We will confirm local payment options at launch.
- 1
Create an account
Before launch, request a place through the form below. At launch, register and get an API key from your dashboard.
- 2
Top up prepaid credit
Load credit in US dollars. Local payment options follow at launch.
- 3
Call the API
Point an OpenAI-compatible client at your Akili endpoint and watch usage in your dashboard.
Your first call
Illustrative# Any OpenAI-compatible client works.
client = OpenAI(
base_url="<your Akili endpoint>",
api_key="<your Akili key>")
client.chat.completions.create(
model="<an open model>",
messages=[{"role": "user",
"content": "Summarise this."}])
What we are building that buying direct does not give you
At launch, the models will be the same ones global teams use. What changes is how you pay, who you deal with and the paperwork you get.
Harare, Zimbabwe
Invoices your finance team can file
Issued by Akili Connect (Private) Limited, a registered Zimbabwean company.
Support during Zimbabwean business hours
At launch, a local team you can email, answering in plain language.
Several models, one balance
Chat, document and coding models, all drawing on the same prepaid credit.
Who we are building for
We are inviting each of these groups to early access, and their feedback shapes what we launch.
Developers and startups
Chatbots, document extraction and call summaries, started on a small prepaid balance.
Software houses and agencies
A separate prepaid balance per client project, with invoices you can pass on.
Universities and researchers
One account per department or project, with spend capped at what you load, so a class cannot run up a bill.
Banks and larger firms
A local contract, a written data protection agreement and a defined pilot before any production use.
Tell us which group you are in and what you want to build.
What you can build with it
The same API covers the jobs teams in Zimbabwe ask us about most.
Customer support assistants
Answer common questions on your website or WhatsApp, and hand over to a person when needed.
Document and invoice extraction
Turn invoices, forms and statements into clean data your systems can use.
Call and meeting summaries
Summarise calls and meetings into actions, from text transcripts your team already has.
