We Built This
Because of Students Like You.
Sabi AI didn't start as a product. It started as a response to real Nigerian student struggles â students with no scholarship guidance, no exam structure, no one to explain a concept at midnight, and study materials they couldn't even open. We built the AI we wish existed.

From Handwritten Notes in Lagos
to an AI Platform Backed by Microsoft
AbS was founded with one question: why do brilliant Nigerian students keep failing systems that were never designed for them? The average Nigerian student deals with unreliable power, expensive data, photocopied materials from 2008, WAEC results that don't reflect their intelligence, and scholarship applications they fill out in the dark â sometimes literally. We decided to build the platform that changes that.
The Problem
Nigerian students â some of the most motivated learners in the world â were failing not from lack of effort, but from lack of infrastructure. Bad materials. No exam guidance. No scholarship support. No one to ask at 11pm.
The Build
AbS began building Sabi AI as a response â not a product feature. We started with OCR: a way to turn physical, handwritten, and photocopied Nigerian study materials into searchable, AI-readable documents. Over 93,000 materials digitized.
Microsoft Support
Microsoft recognized AbS's mission and backed the platform through Microsoft for Startups â providing the infrastructure and AI compute that powers Sabi AI today. This support made it possible to offer advanced AI tools to students at accessible pricing.
100,000+ Opportunities
Sabi Scholar now hosts over 100,000 scholarship and opportunity listings â the largest verified database for Nigerian students anywhere on the internet. Updated daily. Matched by AI to each student's real eligibility.
Microsoft for Startups â Founders Hub
AbS is a verified Microsoft for Startups portfolio company. Sabi AI runs on Azure AI infrastructure.
93,000+ Nigerian Study Materials â Digitized
One of the biggest problems Nigerian students face is that their study materials are physical â handwritten, photocopied, scanned badly, locked in PDFs that can't be searched. AbS built a custom OCR (Optical Character Recognition) pipeline specifically tuned for Nigerian academic materials: messy prints, local fonts, handwriting from student notes, and even blurry WhatsApp-forwarded lecture slides.
Any physical note or printed textbook can be photographed, uploaded, and converted into AI-readable, searchable text.
Our OCR was trained and fine-tuned on Nigerian academic content â the formatting, shorthand, and subject styles unique to our curriculum.
Once digitized, every material becomes searchable, readable by Sabi Notebook, and usable for practice tests inside Sabi Examiner.
The Students Who Made Sabi AI Necessary
These are not edge cases. These are the stories of millions of Nigerian students â different names, same obstacles. Every Sabi AI tool was built in response to one of these realities.
Finding funding for her Masters
Chiamaka, 300L â University of Lagos
âChiamaka spent 7 months applying to scholarships she never heard back from. She didn't know she was sending applications to programs she didn't qualify for â her degree class, her field, her nationality. No one told her. She almost gave up.â
Sabi Scholar now matches students to scholarships by actual eligibility before they apply. Chiamaka got into 2 shortlists in her first month.
JAMB preparation without structure
Emeka, SS3 â Federal Government College
âEmeka had the textbooks. He had the past questions printed on loose sheets. But he had no way to know which topics he was weak in, no timer telling him he was spending 4 minutes on a question that should take 45 seconds. He went into his first JAMB attempt unprepared â not because he didn't study, but because he didn't know how to practice.â
Sabi Examiner was built specifically for this â timed CBT sessions that mirror real exam conditions, with immediate feedback on every mistake.
Writing a final-year project with zero guidance
Ngozi, Final Year â Obafemi Awolowo University
âNgozi's supervisor would see her once a month â for 15 minutes. She had 5 chapters to write, hundreds of papers to read, a methodology she had never used, and a December deadline. She borrowed laptops from 3 different friends just to access her journals online. There was no one to tell her what a literature review was supposed to look like.â
Sabi Research helps students plan, structure, and execute research â chapter by chapter â with AI guidance that is available every hour of the day.
Studying with materials she couldn't open
Tobiloba, 200L â Covenant University
âTobiloba had a stack of photocopied lecture notes â blurry, densely printed, impossible to search. She had PDFs she couldn't open because the campus Wi-Fi throttled file downloads. She had a textbook she bought at the start of the semester that she never finished because she couldn't understand half of it without someone to explain it. Every difficult concept required a trip to the library, a long queue, and maybe â maybe â a librarian who had time.â
AbS built OCR technology to digitize physical materials and Sabi Notebook to put AI explanations directly inside every document â so no student is stopped by a page they can't understand.
10 AI Models. Each One Answers a Real Problem.
