Ebenworks is an AI product company that builds software for shop owners, nurses, family carers, contractors and artists. We are based in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, and our products are running in South Africa, Kenya, Zimbabwe and South Korea.
Our products include Imali AI, which runs sales, stock and books on WhatsApp for shop owners and merchants, their suppliers and groups of companies; Chingu Care AI, which talks with older parents in Korean or English and tells their families how each day went; and Phila Health Ecosystem, seven health products for clinics, health programmes, district offices and hospitals, whose apps keep working without a signal.
We also build BidWright Tender AI, which reads a tender, drafts the response and scores it the way the evaluator will; Tzohar Sites, which designs websites for musicians, creators, experts, businesses and organisations; Izwi Music OS, a full record label operating system for labels and musicians; and A鈥揨 Dates, which picks checked date ideas in 45 cities across 14 countries.
Our founder, Ebenezer Tarubinga, designed, engineered and built every Ebenworks product end to end, and our team has five full-time members.
The products launched in October 2026, and together they work in ten languages. Four of them are apps on Google Play.
Ebenworks has secured over US$400,000 in startup credits, technology benefits and support through the startup programmes of 35 global technology companies, including AWS, NVIDIA, Google Cloud, Microsoft and Anthropic. Our joint entry with Statotech Systems was shortlisted for the KAFXA 2026 awards and reached the finalists' public vote.

Njere Engine is our model gateway: it routes a product's request through a named chain of providers, moves to the next one on an outage or a rate limit, and checks the structure of every reply before the product receives it.
Research
Our research trains vision models that learn from a small set of labelled images. The field is semi-supervised semantic segmentation, which segments images when only a few of them carry labels. Each method ships with its paper, weights and a demo.
- PixCon adds a clean-positive pixel-contrastive branch to a DINOv2-based semi-supervised segmentation pipeline. On Pascal VOC at the 1/8 labelled split it reaches 87.90 mIoU as a three-seed mean. Paper 路 Demo 路 Pascal VOC 路 Cityscapes 路 ADE20K
- CW-BASS v2 measures how reliable a foundation-model teacher's confident pseudo-labels are, then chooses between strict filtering and an adaptive confidence floor. On ADE20K at the 1/8 split the adaptive floor reaches 50.58 mIoU in a single-seed run. Paper 路 Demo 路 Pascal VOC 路 Cityscapes 路 ADE20K
