Check Am
A practical way to investigate questionable posts, images, text and links.
BuildingAfrica’s biggestfrontier lab.
KodaStack is a technology lab in Lagos. We build software, train AI models and publish the research behind them.
Selected work
Some of these are products and some are experiments. Each one is labelled with its stage and links to what you can inspect: a demo, a model card or the source code.
Kamari: age assurance that keeps as little data as it can.
Our research into age checks for platforms that need to protect children online. It is designed around African users and is being evaluated for accuracy, fairness and privacy before any wide deployment.

What we build
Most problems cross more than one layer. We work on all four, so the model, the software around it and the system it runs on are designed together.
Systems and emerging technology
Industrial data workflows, infrastructure and connected devices. Hardware and robotics are at an early research stage.
AI models
Training, fine-tuning, retrieval systems and agents across language, vision and speech, evaluated in the conditions they will run in.
Software and products
Websites, web and mobile apps, APIs and internal tools. We design the architecture, ship it and keep maintaining it.
Research
Structured experiments for questions with no obvious answer yet: datasets, benchmarks, feasibility studies and proofs of concept.
Research you can inspect
We publish model cards, source code and limitations next to the results. Three open model projects are documented so far.
