Overview

Yebo is a conversational operating system for Africa. One AI agent that connects users to an entire ecosystem — jobs, commerce, learning, payments, sourcing — through a single chat interface.

The Problem

Africa needs infrastructure for the basics:

• Commerce — Buying and selling is fragmented
• Jobs — Finding work is manual and slow
• Education — Skills training is inaccessible
• Payments — Moving money is complex
• Trust — No unified identity or reputation

The Solution

Instead of building 10 separate apps, we built one AI that connects them all through conversation.

User: "Sell these clothes for me"
       ↓
Yebo lists items on YeboShops, finds buyers, handles payment
       ↓
User wakes up to money in their wallet

Core Concept: YeboID

When you join Yebo, you don't get an account — you get an agent.

• @handle.yebo — Your unique address on the network
• Personal AI — Learns your preferences, acts on your behalf
• Unified Wallet — One balance across all products
• Progressive KYC — Via YeboVerify

Product Ecosystem

Product	What it does
YeboShops	Buy and sell anything
YeboJobs	Find work, get hired
YeboLearn	Skills and certifications
YeboLink	SMS, WhatsApp, invoicing
YeboSafe	Escrow and payments
YeboNa	Source from China
YeboVerify	KYC and identity

How It Works

1. User sends message — "Find me design jobs in Lagos"
2. AI Orchestrator — Extracts intent, identifies product (YeboJobs)
3. Product API — Searches jobs, returns matches
4. Response formatted — Cards with job details, action buttons
5. User acts — "Apply to Paystack"
6. Agent executes — Submits application, notifies user

Design-First Approach

This documentation covers the design of Yebo before building:

• System architecture
• Data models
• API contracts
• User flows
• Integration specs

No code until the design is complete.
