The Lab
Six working demos on sample and public data, each running on an engine we use in production. Anyone can write a case study. These run.
What we build
WhatsApp assistants that answer every enquiry in your name, and agents that read, decide and update across the tools you already use.
Lead engines that find the businesses or buyers who need what you sell, score them on why they would buy, and put them in your team's queue.
Collect, clean and watch the data your business runs on: prices, stock, listings, tenders, competitors. Then put it to work in dashboards and alerts.
Web apps, iPhone, Android and Mac apps and the internal tools a business runs on, scoped and priced before we start.
Focused builds from R8,000 · full systems from R80,000 · run and improve from R4,500 a month · pay from results available
How pricing works →Lead generation
Most businesses buy lead lists that are stale the day they arrive. We build the engine instead: it reads your market every week, scores every business on why it would buy, and hands your team a queue that is ready to call.
01Find
Every business in your market from Google Maps, directories, company websites and ads libraries.
02Score
On signals you can act on: no website, weak reviews, an unclaimed listing, ads running, hiring.
03Enrich
Verified emails and numbers added, and anyone who asked not to be contacted removed for good.
04Queue
The best leads land in your team's calling and WhatsApp queue, each with a short brief and an opening line.

The ZAIQ group
We don't only build for clients. We run our own products in production, every day, on the same engines we build with. That is the proof that what we build keeps working after launch.

Turns any web page into clean data, with a receipt for every result. Used by developers and AI agents through an API and MCP.
Puley
An add-on for ChatGPT and Claude
Lets your own AI read TikTok, Instagram and Amazon, watch pages for changes and compare prices across countries.

Watch them run on the Work page →How we work
The model is maybe a tenth of the job. The rest is your process, the systems you already run, and the people who have to use the thing on a Tuesday morning. That is where AI projects die, and it is the part we do.
Send the problem
On WhatsApp or by email, in your own words. The assistant asks what it needs and the team reads every message.
