Products
What we ship
Technology we build and run ourselves. The same engineering goes into every client system.
Services
Two disciplines. One team.
We build software and AI systems, from first prototype to production.
Software Engineering
taw.software/
Custom web, mobile, and business systems built with modern frameworks from SaaS platforms to enterprise dashboards.
AI Engineering
taw.ai/
Intelligent systems, agents, and infrastructure that turn models into products your business can run on.
Our Process
How we work
From discovery to scale, watch the light move through every phase.
01 / DISCOVER
Discover
Stakeholder interviews, audits and market research. Full context before a single line of code.
- Interviewing stakeholders
- Auditing your systems and workflows
- Mapping user journeys and pain points
- Competitive and market research
- Roadmap drafted
02 / STRATEGIZE
Strategize
Architecture, stack and AI capability mapping. A tailored blueprint, never cookie cutter.
- Selecting architecture and stack
- Designing the system and data model
- AI capability mapping
- Budget, timeline and milestones locked
- Blueprint document
03 / ENGINEER
Engineer
Precision builds. Clean code, intelligent systems, pixel perfect interfaces.
- Design system and product UI
- AI models and agents integrated
- Testing, QA and security hardening
- Deployed to production
- v1.0 shipped live
04 / SCALE
Scale
Observe, optimize, iterate. Your system grows with your business.
- Monitoring logs, metrics, uptime
- Performance and reliability tuning
- Iterating with real user data
- New capabilities shipped quarterly
- Compounding results
Who We Are
We turn research into production systems.
Taw is the technology and product engineering arm of Tawakkul Labs, a Nairobi based research firm working on new computational systems, AI, and software architectures.
The name "Taw" comes from the Swahili word for "branch," our link to the lab. Taw also means a "mark" or "signature" — the mark we leave on every system we ship.
We design, engineer, and ship software and AI systems: our own products, and production systems for the teams we work with.

The Pipeline
Research in. Products out.
Tawakkul Labs researches computational systems, AI, and software architectures. Taw turns that work into products, platforms, and production software.
Let's build something that ships.
A platform, an AI system, or a first prototype. We take it from idea to production.
