Technology, without the stress.

From Abidjan, we train your teams, we build your AI agents and your applications, and we secure your systems.

Talk to a person

What we do

Four services. Each can be chosen alone, and they combine.

Training

For HR, management and technical teams

We train your teams on the job, from the executive committee to the engineers, on your cases and your data.

See the catalogue of 67 courses

What you receive, and examples

What you receive

A programme adjusted after analysing your need, the materials and the answer keys, a named certificate of completion for each participant, an end-of-session report and a follow-up offered at three weeks.

  • Strategic AI for executives: one day, and a roadmap to leave with.
  • Generative AI for every department: write, analyse and summarise with method, in two days.
  • Essential cybersecurity for all staff, in two days.

AI agents and automation

For business departments, HR and CIOs

We build agents that answer and act in your tools, and we automate repetitive work, with a person at the decision points.

Talk about a project, AI agents and automation

What you receive, and examples

What you receive

A written scoping note, a prototype on your data before any commitment, a pilot measured on an agreed indicator, then the source code, the documentation and the access rights.

  • A WhatsApp agent that introduces itself as an AI assistant, answers your customers from your documents and hands over to your team when it is not certain.
  • Reading purchase orders and matching them with deliveries.
  • Sorting applications and replying to candidates, with the decision left to your human resources.

Applications and infrastructure

For CIOs and project leads

When the tool you need does not exist, we develop it for web and mobile, with the infrastructure that keeps it running.

Talk about a project, Applications and infrastructure

What you receive, and examples

What you receive

An application, not a mock-up: the source code, the documentation and the access rights, and teams trained to take it over. Maintenance is a separate contract, priced at signature.

  • A business application connected to your software, to WhatsApp or to Mobile Money.
  • A dashboard that brings together the figures from several sites.
  • Hosting of your choice: your servers, a cloud host, or both, with sensitive data kept on your side.

Security and AI governance

For CIOs and security officers

We look at who can access what in your systems, we harden what needs it, and we set down in writing what an agent may do alone.

Talk about a project, Security and AI governance

What you receive, and examples

What you receive

An audit of your systems, hardened access, logging in place, an incident response plan and a written framework for AI: where the data lives, who can query what, what an agent may do alone.

This work replaces neither legal advice nor a certification.

  • An access audit before connecting an agent to your data.
  • An AI use charter, written before plugging an assistant into your documents.
  • An incident response plan: isolate, do not erase, alert, document, restore.

What we can show

What was done is said. What was not, too.

Yolea is a young company, and we say so. The names below come from training and mentoring missions led by our founder. They do not refer to clients of Yolea.

Our founder also provided technical mentoring for UniPod and UNDP Côte d’Ivoire, from July to October 2025.

These missions are training and mentoring. For building agents and applications, we have no reference to cite yet: that is why you see a prototype on your data before any commitment.

The names and marks cited belong to their owners. Citing them does not imply any recommendation on their part.

How we work

You do not have to take our word for it.

What we promise is in writing. You see the result before you commit.

Scoping, prototype, pilot, deployment. You can stop at the end of each step: nothing commits you to the next one.

We resell no vendor’s products. The choice of a model or a host starts from your constraint, and we justify it in writing.

Illustration: four people work together around a table, with a laptop and papers.

  1. A written scope before we start

    What the tool does, what it does not do, what goes up to a person. You validate it.

  2. A prototype on your data before any commitment

    You judge on the evidence. We document in writing what leaves your system, to which service and for how long.

  3. Your code and your data stay yours

    On delivery, the source code, the documentation and the access rights are transferred to you. Your data is not used to train a model, or to serve another client. The day you change supplier, you do not start from zero.

  4. A named person

    You know who answers on your project, and how soon: it is written in the contract.

  5. Your teams trained, not sidelined

    Every deployment includes training for the people who will use the tool and take it over.

  6. A person at every irreversible step

    What cannot be undone waits for human validation. Every action is logged.

Why we exist

Entering, reconciling, chasing: this repetitive work ties up your teams. The rest, they keep in their heads.

Illustration: a woman sitting on a stool looks at her phone.

Our mission

Turn hardship into ease.

A task that weighs on people becomes a task that runs, and someone on your side knows how to take it over. We get there through training and through AI.

Our vision

Technology without stress: a space of peace and tranquillity, beautiful to look at, powerful at work.

The decision stays with you.

Our goal

That an organisation in Côte d’Ivoire, then in French-speaking West Africa, can put AI to work, safely, without depending on us.

Your teams are trained to take the tool over after we leave.
