Everything we announced at DaveLabs Horizon Summer '26

DaveLabs Horizon Summer '26 premiered today. In just under fifteen minutes we launched a visual reasoning engine for learners, a platform that makes a studio-quality video ad cost less than five dollars, and an enterprise programme that does not get paid until it delivers results.

Everything below is live now. Amaka AI is open at amaka.app. Optiq Studio is open at optiq.studio. Optiq Studio Enterprise is taking applications for its first campaign cycle.

Amaka AI: making the abstract tangible

Millions of students fail every year not because they lack intelligence, but because a textbook diagram is static and a language model answers a physics question with a wall of text. Neither builds intuition.

Amaka AI is a visual reasoning engine. It draws. It animates. It reasons in pictures the way a good teacher reasons at a whiteboard, in fourteen languages including Wolof, Mandinka, Fula and Jola. Read the full introduction, how the engine works, or go straight to the app.

Optiq Studio: a studio-quality ad for less than $5

A broadcast-grade commercial costs between $3,000 and $20,000 to produce. That price is why a bakery in Serekunda, a tailor in Banjul or a mechanic in Lagos cannot sell online the way an American small business can — not for lack of a product, and not for lack of customers.

Optiq Studio takes that number below five dollars. Describe your business, describe the video you want, set a length, and press generate. Five specialist agents handle the rest. Read the introduction, the economics or how the agents work.

Optiq Studio Enterprise: two tiers, one outcome

For brands that need custom execution, Optiq Studio Enterprise runs on two tiers. Custom Video Production puts our creative team on your commercial for a flat $100 to $500 per ad. The Enterprise Campaign Engine takes five organisations per cycle and does not get paid until it delivers measurable business results.

More on the two tiers, the accountability model and the 329 industries we mapped.

And one more thing

DaveLabs is no longer a software agency. We are a research company. Here is what that changes.
