YC-backed Bujeti launches AI agents to automate routine finance work
Nigerian fintech Bujeti rolls out AI agents to handle invoicing, transactions, and employee queries, making financial management more accessible for African businesses.
Bujeti , a Y Combinator-backed Nigerian fintech, is turning its financial management platform into an artificial intelligence (AI) workforce that can process documents, chase unpaid invoices, monitor transactions, and answer employees’ finance questions. Its Real-time Agent Intelligence Network (BRAIN) uses four AI agents, which Bujeti calls Teammates, to automate routine finance tasks using the accounts, budgets, vendors, contracts and transactions already on its platform. The company said Teammates will become publicly available on September 30. The launch comes as African businesses move beyond experimenting with AI to embedding it in daily operations. A May 2026 PwC study found that 82% of organisations in Africa were running AI pilots, Africa were running AI pilots, but few had scaled AI across their businesses. African organisations were also investing an average of 2% of revenue in AI. “Every ambitious African business should be able to run its finances with a CFO in the room, whether or not it can afford to hire one,” said Cossi Achille Arouko, co-founder of Bujeti. ”BRAIN does not sit beside the ledger and ask to be fed.
