We build software.
Ours and yours.
Recite Labs is a software studio in Addis Ababa. We build our own AI products, and we build custom software for businesses and government.
Where we work.
Six fields where we build our own products and client systems. Same team, same process.
Payments
Mobile money, ledgers and savings for African businesses.
Health
Virtual consultations, scheduling and health records.
Language
Writing and reference tools for Ethiopian languages.
Government
Systems for public institutions, handed over properly.
Our products.
Products we designed, built and still run, from an AI CRM to open-source payments.

An AI CRM with Ethiopia's company register inside.

Integrations
Make the systems you have talk to each other.

A prototype you approve
3. Build
Two-week sprints. Each dot is a demo you attend.

Live, monitored, improved
What you can
count on.
Three things we hold ourselves to on every project, and what we do to keep them.
Speed
You see progress every week, not at the end.
- A working demo every week
- Two-week sprints with continuous deployment
- Replies within 24 hours
Quality
Software that keeps working long after launch day.
- Automated tests run on every change
- Documentation and team training at handover
- Monitoring and fixes after release
Honesty
No surprises about scope or progress.
- Scope agreed in writing before we build
- Progress you can check at any time
- A straight answer if we're not the right fit
