We're an AI agency that ships.
AI Assistant is the AI division of MComm Technologies (Pty) Ltd, a licensed South African technology company operating since 2013. We don't sell slides — we build, deploy, and maintain production AI agent systems for businesses across Africa and beyond.
Six principles that guide every engagement.
We built our methodology on these. They sound obvious, but most AI consultancies skip them — we don't.
Production over demos
Every agent we build ships to production with monitoring, logging, and cost tracking. No half-finished prototypes, no abandoned repos.
Open-source first
Hermes Agent, MCP, Ollama, Supabase, Obsidian. You own everything we build. No vendor lock-in, no proprietary platforms.
Free cloud hosting
Every build includes free cloud hosting resources so you can deploy immediately. We don't bill you for infrastructure setup.
Multi-agent expertise
We build orchestrated multi-agent systems, not single chatbots. Our flagship course teaches delegation, subagents, and parallel workflows.
Security baked in
POPIA/GDPR compliance, jailbreak defence, and audit trails from day one. Security isn't a paid add-on — it's the default.
We train your team
Full handoff with documentation and training so you're self-sufficient. We don't want you to need us forever.
A 5-phase process on every engagement.
No black boxes, no surprises. You see progress every week and approve every milestone.
Audit your workflows and identify automation opportunities
30-minute call + written opportunity assessment.
Design the agent system and select the right models
Architecture diagram, model selection via Artificial Analysis, cost estimation.
Build agents, skills, and integrations in iterative sprints
1-week sprints. Working code every Friday, not slide decks.
Deploy to production with monitoring and free cloud hosting
VPS, Docker, or serverless. Monitoring, logging, alerting, cost tracking.
Monitor, tune, and hand off with full documentation
Track performance, tune prompts, switch models, iterate on skills.
