He concentrates on digital tools that automate complexity and enhance AI technology access. He develops an approach optimized for local and international adoption, ultimately seeking to scale the practical applications of artificial intelligence.
Okechukwu Nwaozor, a young Nigerian entrepreneur born in 2007 who is a self-taught programmer, is emerging as a new face of artificial intelligence in Africa. He is the founder and chief executive of OkeyMeta, a technology company specializing in generative AI and language models.
Founded in 2022, OkeyMeta is a platform designed for African and international use. It offers models capable of processing text, analyzing images, generating code, and automating tasks. These functions are accessible via APIs that can be integrated into any internet-connected application.
The platform's main model, OkeyAI, is a multimodal language model described as capable of analyzing multiple data types and adapting to queries in real time. It operates in the background, with users interacting through chat interfaces or APIs that send their requests to the model and return a response within milliseconds.
OkeyMeta enables the creation of virtual assistants, customer service chatbots, writing tools, document analysis systems, and image or code generation modules without users having to train their own model. The platform targets developers, startups, and businesses looking to integrate automated functions into their services, such as email response, decision support, or content personalization.
The platform also offers a fine-tuning function, which allows for the creation of a customized version of the model using an organization's data or for a specific use case. The user can define the model's name, version, tone, and domain of expertise, then provide content examples to guide its adaptation.
In April 2025, Okechukwu Nwaozor held a position as a software engineer at OIC Hub, an IT company and training center in Nigeria that also organizes workshops, events, and conferences related to programming and digital technologies.
