Africa market entry · Nigeria first → Ghana → South Africa · Roswell, GA HQ + West Africa partner network
Sentinel AI Partners is bringing its US-built front desk to West Africa: a 24/7 AI receptionist inside the WhatsApp account your customers already use. It answers in seconds, qualifies what each lead actually needs, and books a free discovery call into your calendar — nights, weekends and holidays included. We serve clients across two continents; this is where we're putting down roots.
Why this exists — a scenario we've watched repeat in Lagos, Accra and Johannesburg
01
A customer texts at 9:47pm asking price and availability. Your office is closed, your phone is on the desk, and the reply — if it comes — goes out tomorrow morning by email.
02
Your competitor's WhatsApp answers in minutes. By morning, the customer is already talking to them — and the one who replied first usually closes, not the one with the best product.
03
A 24/7 AI front desk replies in seconds — in the language they typed — asks what they actually need, and books them into a free discovery call before they've even looked at the competitor's price list.
First response wins in WhatsApp-first markets. In Nigeria, WhatsApp is the phone — English mixed with Pidgin, Yoruba and Igbo is normal business chat there. A front desk that reads and writes natively isn't a luxury feature; it's the difference between two leads and one.
Scenario drawn from real pilot briefs we've reviewed; names withheld until close. Real case studies land on this page as actual clients sign — not before.
The front desk, in one sentence each
No new app for your customers — they stay on the WhatsApp line they already use with you. Here's what that means in practice:
Pricing questions, availability, "do you handle my area?" — answered from your own facts. And before the thread ends it asks what it needs to know: business name and what they need, so your team starts with real information instead of a cold contact.
Growth tier books straight into your calendar and sends you a weekly lead report every Monday morning. Priority follow-up flows chase cold leads back to warm instead of letting them go quiet.
English, Pidgin, Yoruba and Igbo mixed together, or French for Francophone clients. The front desk answers natively in whatever language the customer types — not a translated-sounding template.
Live interactive demo · no backend, runs on this page
This is a working front desk, live right here. Type English, Pidgin or French — or fire one of the quick-starts — and watch it answer natively, qualify your lead, and offer a free discovery call. That's the Starter tier in action; calendar wiring is the Growth tier.

Pilot pricing — founding cohort only
Founding-cohort rates are locked for the pilot window and rise as we fill slots. Every tier includes the 24/7 AI WhatsApp front desk — that's the product; the tiers decide how far it goes.
Where we are and where we're going
One company, two continents. The track record is American-built; the roots are being planted in Lagos right now.
Lagos first — pilot deployments and partner onboarding underway.
Accra expansion with the same front-desk stack, francophone-ready from day one.
Johannesburg — enterprise and on-prem Sentinel units for security operations.
Serving clients across two continents — US HQ in Roswell, GA 30075 with a local partner network across West Africa. We don't claim to be operating everywhere yet; we're building the footprint one city at a time, and founding-cohort clients get first call on every new market.
Proof policy — zero fake reviews
We'd rather show you real closes than a wall of invented five-star quotes. These are the founding-cohort proof slots; each one gets filled with an actual client, actual numbers, and their sign-off — no exceptions, no stock testimonials.

Who you'll actually be talking to
Every lead that books through this page is worked with you by a named local face — no call centers, no hand-offs into the void. When you WhatsApp or book, you get our Africa market lead:
Africa Market Lead · Nigeria & West Africa — based in Oyo State, leading the Lagos-first rollout.
He answers in English, Pidgin or French — whichever is comfortable for you — and stays with your lead from first message to signed pilot. Reach him directly:
Discovery calls run in English, Pidgin or French — whichever is comfortable. We respond within two business days with a scoped plan and pilot pricing locked for your market.
