ZadiThe WhatsApp business assistant for South African founders
South African small businesses live on WhatsApp. Zadi sits inside that same chat and quietly runs your admin — follow-ups, invoices, payment tracking and a single priority list every morning — while you do the actual work.
Built for founders in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, Pretoria, Gqeberha.
