As Nigeria’s tech ecosystem continues to grow, Ezekiel Nwaeke, Founder and CEO of HelpMe AI Solutions Nigeria, is quietly building what could become one of the country’s most practical AI platforms. With a clear mantra “Built for Real Life. Powered by Intelligent Technology”; the company is developing two flagship products set for full launch in 2026: HelpMe AI, an all-in-one lifestyle and business assistant, and HelpMe AI – Home Automation, a smart-home system designed specifically for Nigerian households and security realities. HelpMe AI combines everyday digital services into a single, easy-to-use platform available as a chatbot, mobile app, and website.
Users will be able to send money instantly, buy or gift airtime, pay electricity and cable bills, order food from nearby restaurants with tracked delivery, book reliable dispatch riders, and crucially for entrepreneurs register their businesses to automate customer service, payments, and logistics. The home-automation arm brings remote CCTV monitoring, AI-powered motion and intrusion sensors, voice-controlled lighting, automated gate systems, and real-time alerts to smartphones, giving homeowners peace of mind whether they are in Lagos, London, or Dubai. Backed by a hand-picked team of top Nigerian engineers, the company is currently in advanced development and beta-testing phases ahead of the 2026 rollout.
Speaking on the vision behind the startup, Nwaeke said: “We are not building AI for the future we are building AI for Monday morning when NEPA takes light, when you need to send school fees urgently, or when you’re stuck in traffic and want to be sure your family is safe at home safe. That is the real life we are solving for.” He stressed simplicity and trust as non-negotiable pillars: “Too many AI tools feel like science experiments. At HelpMe AI Solutions, we believe technology should disappear into the background and just work. It must be simple, safe, human-centered, and above all something your mother in the village can use without calling you for help. ”On the business side, Nwaeke sees huge potential for small and growing companies: “Startups and SMEs are the heartbeat of Nigeria’s economy.
When they register on HelpMe AI, they instantly get automated payments, customer chat support, dispatch integration, and data insights — things that used to cost millions to build. We’re leveling the playing field. ”Finally, he spoke directly to Nigerian homeowners adopting smart technology for the first time: “With HelpMe AI Home Automation, you don’t need to be a tech wizard to secure your compound. One app lets you see who is at the gate, turn on lights when motion is detected at night, and get an alert if a door is opened while you’re away. Peace of mind should not be a luxury.
”As Nigeria races toward greater digital adoption, HelpMe AI Solutions is positioning itself not as another flashy startup, but as a dependable partner for millions seeking smarter finance, smoother business operations, and safer homes — all powered by AI that finally speaks with a Nigerian accent.
