(1888PressRelease) September 27, 2026 - OBEKS AI, a Nigerian technology company focused on artificial intelligence and digital infrastructure, announced the completion of its agentic AI infrastructure platform on Tuesday. The company said the platform is designed to provide developers, software agencies and businesses in Africa with tools for creating and deploying AI agents for different business applications. The platform is intended to serve as infrastructure for organizations that want to develop AI-powered services without building every component of an agent system independently. According to OBEKS AI, users can describe an agent's intended functions using natural-language instructions, after which the platform generates and configures the agent for deployment. The company said the infrastructure can support agents designed for tasks such as customer communication, social media management, business enquiries, messaging automation and other internet-based workflows.

Platform focuses on agent development
OBEKS AI said its platform differs from individual AI applications because it is intended to provide underlying infrastructure that agencies and developers can use to create solutions for their own clients. This approach allows a software development agency, for example, to build an AI-powered customer-service or marketing system for a business without developing an independent infrastructure stack for every client. The company said the platform is particularly focused on development teams and smaller agencies that may not have large engineering teams available to handle multiple AI integrations.

“We built the infrastructure to make it easier for development teams to create and deploy AI-powered services,” a representative of OBEKS AI said. “The objective is to provide the underlying technology while allowing agencies and developers to determine how the resulting AI systems are used for their clients.”

Natural-language instructions and account linking
According to the company, users can configure agents through text-based instructions rather than writing all of the underlying logic manually. OBEKS AI said the platform also includes an account-linking workflow based on one-time passwords (OTP). The company said the workflow is intended to simplify the process of connecting supported business accounts to an agent without requiring users to manually exchange account credentials. The platform is designed to work with services including WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, X and Telegram, subject to the technical and access requirements of each platform. OBEKS AI did not claim that its system eliminates restrictions imposed by third-party platforms. Instead, the company said its account-linking system is intended to simplify configuration and reduce some of the technical steps involved in deploying integrations.

Infrastructure costs and African developers
The development of the platform also reflects the cost considerations faced by African software companies using international cloud and AI infrastructure. OBEKS AI said it designed its infrastructure with African developers and agencies in mind and intends to provide an alternative infrastructure option for organizations building AI-powered services. The company previously described its infrastructure as a lower-cost option compared with some foreign-based alternatives, but it did not provide independent comparative pricing data with the announcement. OBEKS AI said the platform's infrastructure is being developed around the requirements of organizations that need to deploy AI systems for multiple clients rather than simply use a single AI application internally.

Potential business applications
The company said potential applications include customer-service agents, social-media management systems, lead-management tools, messaging assistants and other AI systems that perform recurring digital tasks. For agencies, the infrastructure can also serve as a development layer between the agency and its clients. An agency can develop an AI solution for a specific business requirement while using OBEKS AI's infrastructure to handle parts of the underlying agent system. The company said this model is intended to allow agencies to focus on developing business-specific applications rather than recreating infrastructure for each project.

Availability
OBEKS AI said the platform is being made available to developers, software agencies and businesses interested in developing AI-powered services. The company has not disclosed the total number of organizations currently using the infrastructure or provided independent figures on cost savings, deployment volume or revenue generated through the platform. OBEKS AI also did not announce a formal partnership with WhatsApp or claim that its infrastructure guarantees protection against account restrictions or bans. Access to third-party platforms remains subject to the rules, technical requirements and policies of those platforms. The company is based in Nigeria and operates in the areas of artificial intelligence, software infrastructure and technology services.
