Mafutai builds AI-powered products that sit inside existing operations and make them work better. Our primary product is AICU — an AI system for security company control rooms that watches every camera feed and delivers actionable intelligence to human operators.

KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. All our GPU infrastructure is locally hosted — no cloud dependencies, no offshore data processing.

Not anymore. Mafutai started as a GPU rental platform but has pivoted to building AI products. Our GPU infrastructure now powers our own products instead of being rented out.

AICU (AI Control Unit) is an AI-powered system that sits in a security company's control room and processes all their camera feeds simultaneously. It detects threats, identifies people and vehicles, analyses behaviour, and packages actionable intelligence for human operators.

No. AICU follows a strict principle: AI Detects, Rules Decide, Humans Act. The AI perceives and recommends — it never triggers physical responses on its own. Every dispatch, gate lock, or siren activation requires human confirmation.

Yes. AICU works with any camera that outputs an RTSP video stream — old cameras, new cameras, Hikvision, Dahua, any brand. No rip-and-replace required. 90%+ of installed camera systems in South Africa are compatible.

AICU can recognise faces and read number plates, but only where camera quality allows. A 4MP camera at a gate can identify faces. A 720p camera 30 metres away can detect people but can't resolve faces. AICU adapts to what each camera can provide.

Yes. AICU is designed for POPIA compliance from day one. Face embeddings (not photos) are stored and auto-deleted for unmatched detections. Enrolled persons require consent. Full audit trails are maintained. We provide signage and consent form templates.

AICU is currently in development. We're building on our own camera system first, then running a pilot with a security company in the Ballito area. Sign up on the homepage to be notified when it launches.

AInsure is an AI-powered insurance intelligence platform for claim assessment, fraud detection, and risk analysis. It processes documents, identifies patterns, and helps assessors make better decisions faster.

AInsure is in development. A colleague manages the AInsure project independently.

We're looking for pilot partners in the KwaZulu-Natal area. Email [email protected] with your company details, number of sites, and approximate camera count. Pilot deployments are free — if it works, we talk pricing.
