Building America's Most African AI.
An intelligence layer that truly understands Nigeria's 230 million stories.
The Founder Story
QAi was born from a simple observation: the world's most powerful AI models know remarkably little about Africa. Ask them about Nigerian history, culture, or current affairs, and you'll get generic, often inaccurate responses.
Founded by a Nigerian in America, Xilbit Inc. set out to change that. We're building an AI that doesn't just translate Western knowledge into African contexts — it's trained from the ground up on Nigerian knowledge, in Nigerian voices, with Nigerian perspectives.
From the Benin Bronzes to modern fintech, from Yoruba philosophy to Pidgin English — QAi understands it all natively, because it was built to.

Our Vision
We believe Africa deserves its own intelligence layer — AI systems that understand our cultures, speak our languages, and serve our unique needs. QAi is the first step toward that future.
Sovereign AI
Rather than relying on foreign AI systems that treat Africa as an afterthought, we're building models that put African knowledge at the center. Trained on our data, for our people.
