AI-powered business memory agent for African SMEs. # Biashara Brain **AI-powered business memory agent for African SMEs.** Built for the **Global AI Hackathon Series with Qwen Cloud — Track 1: MemoryAgent**. --- ## The Problem Small businesses across Kenya, East Africa, and Africa broadly run on conversations.
