Artificial intelligence to

The Cape of Good Hope is a beacon that has guided explorers from all over the world. We guide our clients to lead the way in artificial intelligence (AI) and data science.

About us

Cape AI is a South African based tech startup, founded in 2019 by Pieter Boon and Adit Mehta.

Our mission is to help businesses grow by enabling them to make smart decisions through the use of AI technology. And, in line with our triple bottom line (people, planet and profit), we ensure that our employees are constantly challenged, learning and having fun and that we give back to the planet by participating in AI for good initiatives.

Our general capabilities include advanced analytics, data engineering, AI modelling and software development. But our true expertise lies in helping our clients build custom end to end machine learning solutions that allow them to make smarter decisions, faster.

What our clients say

“It is an absolute pleasure working with the Cape AI team. They are very hands-on, and really spend time to understand the details of your requirements or the business side of the problem you are trying to solve. They immerse themselves in the work and take ownership of the solution. They have delivered quality work, and I would recommend them, from top management to the consultants on the ground, to any company looking for data work to be done.”

“Wij werken nu zo’n 6 maanden samen met Capa AI en de samenwerking bevalt buitengewoon goed. De consultants en engineers zijn enthousiaste, goed opgeleide en ervaren mensen, die gevraagd maar ook zeker ongevraagd hun advies geven. Ze maken de materie van onze business snel eigen en zijn daarmee in staat om te versnellen in het project. Ondanks dat de besprekingen digitaal geschieden en er een continet tussen zit, levert de afstand voor ons geen issue op. Door kunde van Cape AI kregen wij beter inzicht in de mogelijkheden van ons DataLake, waardoor de stappen naar machine learning en segmentatie gedegen en gefundeerd zijn verankerd.”

“The people working at Cape AI are very efficient, friendly and critical about the solutions. They are willing to think along with the possibilities instead of just delivering what is asked for. As a Dutch person, and client based in The Netherlands, it was amazing to see that the people in South Africa can understand other languages as easy as their own, work great with NLP and experienced no issues despite the distance we had.”

“Samen met de kennis en kunde van Cape AI waren we instaat om in een aanzienlijk korte tijd een applicatie te ontwikkelen die volledig voldoet aan onze wensen. Al bij het intakegesprek waren we overdonderd door het enthousiasme waarmee Cape AI te werk gaat. Door middel van de wekelijkse sprints kon er altijd bijgestuurd worden en ging er nooit tijd verloren. We kijken uit naar onze verdere samenwerking met Cape AI en zijn benieuwd hoe ze ons de volgende keer zullen verbazen.”
