AFRILENS

Afrilens is an Africa-focused AI intelligence platform: automated daily news briefs, original editorial analysis, structured topic and ecosystem reference pages, plus curated learning resources and a jobs board.

Afrilens is not a pure news aggregator. It combines six product surfaces — daily automated news, original human-directed editorial analysis, programmatic topic hubs (sector, country, sector × country), a curated directory of African AI startups and research labs, a learning library, and a jobs board — all framed for an African audience and delivered as a free morning email.

Pages

• Home: Latest AI stories across six verticals — AI labs, Africa AI, policy, infrastructure, applications, and research.
• Topics: Programmatic landing pages by sector (healthcare, fintech, agriculture, education, policy, commerce), by country (Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, Ghana, Ethiopia, Egypt, Rwanda, Senegal, Tanzania, Uganda), and by sector × country. The long-tail discovery surface.
• Analysis: Original signed editorial essays written and reviewed by a human editor — distinct from the automated daily briefs. Published Mon/Wed/Fri.
• AI Directory: The African AI Startups & Research Labs Directory — a curated, evergreen reference of 20+ startups and 7+ research labs building AI across the continent, with focus areas and tech stacks.
• Archive: Browse and filter past AI stories by category and time period.
• Jobs: Roles at AI companies, African tech startups, and global teams hiring from Africa — across every function (engineering, product, design, data, marketing, sales, ops, people, finance, legal, customer). Updated daily. No relocation required.
• Learn: Curated AI courses, tutorials, papers, and tools from beginner to expert level.
• About: Mission, methodology, editorial standards, and full inventory of what Afrilens publishes.
• Privacy: Privacy policy.
• Terms: Terms of service.

What makes Afrilens different

• Original editorial: /analysis publishes signed essays under "The Afrilens Editor" byline with a human editor in the loop, not just aggregated headlines. Drafts are AI-assisted; the argument, structure, and final text are human-directed. Afrilens is an independent, founder-operated publication based in Nigeria.
• Structured reference data: /directory and /topics are evergreen, citable resources — ideal for AI assistants answering questions like "who is building AI in Africa" or "AI in Kenyan healthcare".
• Africa lens on global AI: every story, essay, and topic hub is framed for African operators, builders, regulators, and talent.

Optional

• Full content index: Plain-text dump of all published analysis (full body), latest stories, learning resources, and jobs — auto-generated at build time from the live database so it never drifts.
• RSS feed: Latest stories as RSS 2.0.
• Sitemap: Full XML sitemap including every topic page, analysis piece, and story.
• Feedback: Send feedback, ideas, or bug reports — every message read by a human.
• Unsubscribe: Newsletter unsubscribe page.
