The CX knowledge platform for Africa. Ask a question about strategy, measurement, or what's working across the continent — and get structured, trustworthy intelligence in minutes instead of hours.
Navi exists to make Africa-relevant CX knowledge, frameworks, and best practices consistently accessible to professionals across the continent. It is a conversational AI platform that reasons over a governed, multi-layer Knowledge Hub.
Instead of spending hours searching for sources or building frameworks from scratch, you ask a question and get structured, actionable intelligence — backed by evidence, not assumptions.
Built by CIOS Technology AG (Switzerland) in partnership with the Africa CX Leaders Forum, a growing community of CX professionals from over 30 African countries.
From structured research to quick insights — Navi meets you where you are and adapts to how you work.

Africa's Customer Experience knowledge is growing rapidly, driven by practitioners, organisations, and the work of the Africa CX Leaders Forum and its 8 thematic commissions. Research reports, frameworks, case studies, practical guides, and emerging standards are being developed to address real CX challenges. Yet this knowledge remains fragmented — spread across documents, discussions, and disconnected platforms — making it difficult for professionals to access, trust, and apply it effectively.
Navi's authoritative answers come from a PhD-grade Knowledge Hub — a multi-layer system of peer-reviewed research, institutional reports, and validated CX evidence. It can draw on trusted public sources for general orientation, but always validates external information against the Knowledge Hub before including it.
Navi's Knowledge Hub includes sector-specific intelligence across banking, telecoms, retail, insurance, public services, and tourism — calibrated for how CX actually works in African markets, not retrofitted from Western assumptions. Learn more about CX in Africa →
Navi never speculates, fills gaps, or presents opinions as facts. Every answer is grounded in explicit evidence. If the data is not there, Navi says so and stops. No hallucinations. No guesswork.
Navi helps you in two ways: answering CX questions with evidence-based depth, and creating practical work outputs that save you real time.
Understand what Customer Experience really means in practice, how value is created, how service systems operate, and how CX connects to business performance — so you can make informed decisions with clarity and confidence.
Know what to measure, how to measure it correctly, and how to interpret results with confidence — enabling you to focus on what truly matters and make data-driven CX decisions that lead to real impact.
Apply CX approaches that reflect your industry and operating environment, with insights tailored to sectors like banking, telecoms, retail, insurance, public services, and tourism across African markets.
Move from insight to action by identifying the right improvements to implement — from service redesign to complaint handling and change management — ensuring your CX efforts deliver measurable results.
Create clear, structured outputs that support analysis and decision-making, including CX assessments, VoC summaries, customer insight briefings, and executive reports ready for use.
Design effective surveys and apply proven CX frameworks — from journey mapping to governance models — helping you standardise your approach and align with best practices across Africa.
Not a library of interesting CX content. A multi-layer reasoning system that enables Navi to think structurally about Customer Experience.

Navi searches its Knowledge Hub — verified insights, frameworks, and examples from across Africa — and synthesises an answer grounded in evidence.
Use what you learn to inform strategy, build a business case, train your team, or benchmark your approach against peers across the continent.
Compare your organisation's maturity against peers in your sector and region. Understand where you stand and where to invest.

Curators are selected based on engagement, domain knowledge, and ability to evaluate source quality. Active participation in Navi and the broader CX community is an important factor.

Navi is your AI-powered CX knowledge companion, built specifically for Customer Experience professionals in Africa. It gives you access to a curated, evidence-based body of CX knowledge — grounded in academic research, African industry data, and real-world use cases — and helps you reason through CX challenges with clarity and context.
Three things: curated, governed knowledge — Navi's authoritative answers come from a PhD-grade Knowledge Hub, and it validates any external information against it before responding. Africa-first calibration with deep coverage of African markets. And strict guardrails — Navi never speculates or presents opinions as facts.
Quality is governed through an evidence hierarchy (peer-reviewed research at the top), strict layer separation, community curation with internal quality review, formal governance under a Knowledge Hub constitution, and regular maintenance reviews.
Yes. Each user has their own private, isolated space. Your questions, history, and context are never visible to other users and never mixed into the shared Knowledge Hub. Only you can see your conversations.
You can ask questions in your preferred language — including English, French, Swahili, Afrikaans, and others. Navi will respond in the same language you use.
Yes. Navi remembers your previous questions and builds on earlier conversations, avoids repeating itself, and can guide you progressively deeper into a topic over time.
Navi is currently available as a community tool, built with and for the Africa CX Leaders Forum. Request early access to be among the first to use the platform.

Navi is directly powered by the work of the Forum's commissions. Research, frameworks, and outputs developed by each commission are structured and integrated into Navi, making them accessible and usable for professionals across Africa.
