Localized AI project builder for Rwanda

Build with an AI agent that understands local projects.

Gihanga is our localized project builder, adapted from Pi for Rwandan learners, makers, and teams. It helps people talk with an AI agent, plan real projects, generate files, and build practical AI, software, automation, and hardware work from their own machine.

Localized from Pi for Rwandan builders. Gihanga is not just another IDE. It is a local-first way for people in Rwanda to interact with an AI agent, learn by doing, and turn ideas into working projects through the desktop app and CLI.
Desktop application

A local AI workspace for Rwandan project builders.

The desktop app is the home for conversations with the localized agent, project folders, guided tasks, hardware notes, and assisted build flows for UpskillsAfrica programs.

  • Local project workspace powered by a Pi-style agent
  • AI, automation, web, and physical product labs
  • Designed for Rwandan schools, cohorts, makers, and founders
  • Can support English, Kinyarwanda-first guidance, and local project examples over time

CLI application

Start localized project labs from the terminal.

The CLI gives builders a fast path to create projects, check their local environment, and prepare templates that the AI agent can help extend through conversation.
