JIBU
For Kenyan shops that sell on WhatsApp

Wake up to paid orders, not unread chats.

Jibu answers every WhatsApp customer in Kiswahili and English while you serve the counter, restock or sleep. It never drops below your price, and it never sounds like a robot.

What you see in the morning

Jibu messages you on WhatsApp the moment a chat crosses 70. Quiet hours respected, except above 90.

Now setting up our first shops in Nairobi, one at a time.

We set it up with you

On a call or over WhatsApp, in one sitting. You do not do this alone.

Seven days free

No card. If it does not earn its keep in a week, walk away.

Your number, your customers

Nothing moves. Jibu answers alongside you on the number you already use.

What you will see

Every month Jibu shows you what it answered, when, and who was ready to pay — in shillings, not in charts you have to decode.

This is the screen itself, filled with a month from our own testing.

Only the sales you tick off yourself are counted. Jibu never claims money it can't see.
Who you are dealing with

We are onboarding our first shops by hand, and yours would be one of them.

Jibu is built in Nairobi by Kajama Studios. We are not going to show you a wall of logos we do not have — at this stage you would be early, and being early means we set it up with you ourselves and answer on WhatsApp when something is wrong.

Your number never moves

WhatsApp on your phone keeps working exactly as it does now. Jibu answers alongside you, and steps back the moment you type.

Your floor is not a suggestion

The lowest price you will take is checked in code before any message is sent — not left to the AI to remember.

Leave whenever you like

Seven days free, then month to month. No contract, no setup fee, nothing to uninstall.

The problem

Your customers won't wait. And you can't live on your phone.

You are the shop, the stock-taker, the delivery planner and the customer care. WhatsApp never stops, and every chat you miss is a customer who asks someone else.

“Bei?” at 23:14

Customers ask when they finally have time: late at night, early morning, Sunday. By the time you open the shop, they have paid the duka next door.

“Punguza kidogo boss”

Every sale is a negotiation. Twenty minutes of back and forth on one chat while three customers stand at the counter.

“Iko?” thirty times a day

Same price, same stock question, same delivery answer, typed again and again with one thumb.

A better way

Jibu answers every chat the way you would, even when you can't.

It knows your stock, your prices and how you bargain. You stay in charge of every chat, and you can take over whenever you want.

Replies in Kiswahili and English

Kiswahili or English, whichever they wrote in. Customers feel they are talking to your shop, not a machine, so they stay in the chat and buy.

Bargains, but never below your floor

Set your lowest price per item once. Jibu negotiates the way you do and protects your margin on every sale.

Steps aside the moment you type

Jump into any chat, any time. Your big buyers still get you, and the customer never sees a handover.

Learns from one correction

Fix a wrong answer once and it stays fixed. No retraining, no tech person, no waiting.

Tells you who is ready to pay

“Naeza lipa leo” sends you a WhatsApp alert with the amount. You spend your time on buyers, not window shoppers.

Understands photos and voice notes

Customers send a screenshot from your status or a quick voice note. Jibu knows what they want, so no sale gets lost.

How it works

Live this afternoon. No tech skills needed.

About twenty minutes of your time, in as many sittings as you like. Your own number comes last, after you have seen it work.

Questions

What shop owners ask us first

Jibu writes the way your shop writes: the same greetings, the same prices, in Kiswahili or English, whichever the customer used. When you jump into a chat there is no "you are now talking to a human" message, so the conversation just carries on.

Tonight, someone will ask your price. Let Jibu close the sale.

Set it up this afternoon and wake up to customers who are ready to pay. Seven days free, then from KES 2,499 a month by M-Pesa.
