About 1024 Bytes

Imagine a hospital that wants to use AI to help doctors find information faster. The technology exists today, but every patient record contains sensitive information. Sending that data to a third-party AI provider may violate policy, regulation, or simply the trust patients place in the institution.

Now imagine a government agency with decades of documents, reports, and operational knowledge spread across thousands of files. AI could help employees find answers in seconds instead of hours, but the agency cannot upload its internal records to someone else's cloud.

These are not edge cases. They are becoming the reality for hospitals, governments, schools, energy companies, and other organizations across Africa.

1024 Bytes exists because many of the organizations that stand to benefit most from AI are also the organizations least able to hand their data to third-party clouds and AI companies.

We build AI infrastructure and software that runs where the data already lives.

Our approach is built on open-source foundation models. We fine-tune them for the industries and environments where they will be used, then equip them with tools, workflows, and agents that can perform real business tasks. We believe the value of AI comes from what it can do, not from restricting access to the underlying models.

Our first product, LemonSupport, is already in use today. LemonSupport is an AI-powered business operating system that helps organizations structure their operations as data and automate work through AI agents that can update records, manage workflows, and execute routine processes.

LemonSupport is the first step toward our broader mission: building AI infrastructure for healthcare, education, energy, oil and gas, and government organizations across Africa.

We are starting with models and systems designed for the realities of Nigeria and the wider African market, because we believe the future of AI should not require organizations to choose between intelligence and control.
