Born from a real problem: re-typing EBM invoices
SwiftReplyDesk was born from a frustration seen on the ground in Rwanda: hours lost re-typing invoices. Since then, the work has grown to education, training, custom software and AI research.
Our story
It all started with an invoice
Starting from a concrete problem — the manual entry of EBM invoices, repetitive and error-prone —, SwiftReplyDesk's founder built the first building block: AI invoice extraction.
From there, the work grew progressively: AI applied to education with SomaGuide, training, custom software development, and now research on AI applied to African invoices.
One conviction guides everything: technology should answer the local realities of East Africa, not those of Silicon Valley.
