How it works

Your AI employee, trained for artisan businesses

01

Trains on your business

You teach Makoji your services, pricing, availability, and terms. It learns your craft and how you like to do business.

02

Handles customer conversations

When a customer messages on WhatsApp, Makoji responds instantly — quotes, answers questions, confirms bookings, and qualifies leads.

03

Follows up automatically

Chases quotes that went cold, reminds customers of outstanding payments, and sends job confirmations — without you lifting a finger.

04

Reports daily

Every morning you get a briefing: new leads, quotes sent, jobs booked, payments received. You decide what to act on.

Skilled hands, no time for business

You've spent years mastering your trade. Welding, carpentry, electrical, fitting — you're genuinely excellent at what you do. But the business side keeps you up at night.

You're losing jobs because you can't respond fast enough. You're forgetting to follow up on quotes. You're not reaching new customers because posting on social media takes time you don't have. You're not growing — you're just surviving.

The tools that exist were built for offices, not workshops. QuickBooks, calendars, CRMs — none of them were designed for an artisan running a one-person operation from their phone.

What changes

The difference an AI agent makes

Instant response, every time

No more customers going quiet because you didn't reply in time. Makoji responds within seconds, 24 hours a day.

Professional quotes, every time

Makoji sends formatted quotes with your pricing, timeline, and terms — not a random WhatsApp voice note.

More customers, less effort

Makoji helps customers find you, qualifies their needs, and brings you leads that are actually ready to book.

Get paid on time

Automated payment reminders mean you're not constantly chasing clients — Makoji handles the awkward follow-ups.

Africa's skilled tradespeople deserve the same infrastructure as anyone else.

You've already proven you can do the hard part. You've got the skills, the Red Seal, the reputation. The missing piece isn't more training — it's someone (or something) to handle the business side so you can focus on what you're actually brilliant at.

Makoji is that partner. Built specifically for African artisan entrepreneurs. Works on WhatsApp. Requires no tech knowledge. Priced for a real tradesperson's budget.

Your craft deserves a business that keeps up with it.
