About SMS Group
The studio that builds AI systems end-to-end.
SMS Group — Smart Modern Solutions — is an AI engineering studio based in Kigali, Rwanda. We work with companies and governments across East Africa and the Gulf to design, build, and ship AI systems, brands, web/software, and digital marketing.
Why this studio exists
Most agencies sell hours and disappear after handover. We sell outcomes — a fixed price, a signed spec, and a system you own outright when we're done. No subscriptions to us, no black boxes, no calling us back every time something needs to change.
Where we work
Kigali × Gulf.
SMS Group ships production AI systems, brands, and software for clients and governments across East Africa, North Africa, and the Arabian Gulf — from one studio in Kigali. Bilingual by default, in English and Arabic, LTR and RTL.
Most decisions about who builds your system come down to trust — will it ship, will the price hold, will you actually own what gets built. We've spent 15+ years answering that the same way: agree the scope, build it, hand it over, and move to the next problem.
Production systems since before "AI agency" was a category — not a portfolio built this year.
Rwanda, Sudan, Saudi Arabia, Qatar — built for clients who operate beyond one border.
You know the cost before a line of code is written. No surprises at handover, no drip-fed invoices.
What we do
Four practices. One studio.
Our group
One group. Three businesses.
SMS Group is the parent brand and agency. Two sister businesses operate alongside it — same team, same standards, different markets.

Recognised work
The first automated sanitizing gate made in Rwanda.
During COVID-19, SMS Group co-delivered Rwanda's first automated sanitizing gate with the Rwanda Biomedical Centre (RBC) and Rwanda's Ministry of Health — temperature screening, full-body sanitization, and data capture in a single hardware unit, designed and manufactured in-house.
