Ethiopia’s Gebeya In 2 Key Partnerships To Support Ai-built Businesses

Gebeya, the Ethiopian Al technology company behind Dala Studio, has announced key partnerships to help people build businesses using AI.

Gebeya operates Dala Studio, an all-in-one AI-powered creator platform enabling users to build apps, websites, games, comics, music, videos, and Al agents using natural language. With over 100,000 users across more than 40 countries across all its Al products, Dala Studio supports 15 African languages, and integrates with mobile money and airtime payments.

The startup has now announced two key partnerships to help scale the impact of Dala Studio when it comes to helping people build businesses. 

The first is with PROFF–IT Investment Group, trading as VukaOS. This partnership integrates VukaOS, an Al–driven ideation and go–to–market (GTM) engine, as a core module within Dala Studio. This creates a seamless “plan–to–build” workflow, with entrepreneurs able to use VukaOS to validate ideas and develop strategies, then execute directly into Dala Studio to build their solutions.

“This alliance closes the critical gap between business planning and technical execution,” said Amadou Daffe, CEO of Gebeya. “African entrepreneurs no longer have to jump between tools or hire expensive developers to test their ideas. With VukaOS handling strategy and Dala Studio handling creation, founders can move from concept to launch faster than ever before.” 

The second partnership is with Miva Open University, a licensed institution approved by the National Universities Commission (NUC), which will equip over 25,000 Nigerian students with the tools to build, launch, and run real digital businesses using AI.

Through this partnership, every Miva student gains access to Dala Studio’s full creative ecosystem, removing the traditional barriers to building in Africa. Students can now create apps and websites, develop games, produce content, deploy AI agents, and run complete businesses without coding or expensive tools.

“This partnership gives our students more than access, it gives them the ability to build,” said Graham Ekoh, senior manager for projects and partnerships at Miva Open University.

“A student can go from idea to product, from product to income, all within one platform. That shift from learning to doing is what makes this truly transformative.”
