The team a small business could never afford to hire.
Ikigai ADE is one app where an AI team does the work an owner-run business runs on: the website, social posts, customer list, leads, quotes, invoices and tax reminders. You say what you need. S.I.D, our AI CEO, and eight AI executives do it. You choose whether they act on their own or wait for your yes. Money moving always waits for you.
Made in South Africa · Bootstrapped · Plans from R399 a month
From the founder
For six years I built the reports and dashboards that banking, FMCG and agri-tech businesses run on. Every one of them showed the people in charge how the business was doing and where the money went. Not one of them could go out and bring more in.
Owner-run businesses rarely lose revenue because the product is weak. They lose it in the gaps: the lead nobody followed up, the page that never went live, the invoice that went out late, the campaign that stayed a plan for another month.
So I built the team that works in those gaps: S.I.D and eight AI executives. They build what you sell, put it in front of buyers, follow up every lead and send the invoice. They work every day without being asked, and you choose whether they act on their own or wait for your yes. Money moving always waits for you.
One price, agreed before we start. Plans start at R399 a month and your first 14 days are free. We take no share of your sales, including the ones we bring in: every rand stays with you.
From reporting the revenue to bringing it in.
- Where it started
Six years behind the numbers
Sid studied medicine in China, then moved into software and data. For six years he built the reports, dashboards and data systems that banking, consumer-goods and farm-tech businesses run on. They showed where revenue was won and lost. None of them could go and win it.
- What changed
The team behind the numbers
So he built a team to do that work: S.I.D and eight AI executives. They make what you sell, market it, follow up every lead and send the invoice. They all work from one shared memory of your business.

The names, and which is which
Ikigai ADE is the product: the app your AI team works in. ADE stands for Agentic Development Environment, a workplace where AI does the work. It is also the name the business trades under (Mohamed Sidiyot, a sole proprietor; Ikigai ADE is not a registered company). Sid (Mohamed Mikaeel Sidiyot) is the human founder and chair. S.I.D, written with dots, is the AI CEO that runs the team. Sid sets the direction. S.I.D gets the work done.
Put the team to work.
Plans start at R399 a month. The first 14 days are free, and we take no share of your sales. Places are by invitation for now.
