Rafiki Works

Found an hour today to revisit https://myrun.club/, which is fast becoming my environment to upskill, build and test my own persistent databases, self-service listings, basic integrations, and MCPs. I spent it testing what the team at Community Wolf are releasing, a unified API for safety data. My map needs a ton of refinement: the ideal experience would be an interactive, routable map that provides 'risk scores' for any planned runs. Log in with Strava, or upload your gpx file, etc. Even cooler if it pings you with a 'high-risk alert' if you deviate off-route into a dodgy area Michael Houghton? They've combined 10 years of private and public security data with the past 2 years of in-market iteration to create the data infrastructure for physical safety. This really did take me less than an hour to integrate, and the MCP server means your agent can reason about safety as a tool call, super helpful if your end product revolves around chat. There are so many great use-cases here, from insurance to property, mobility, security, and honestly so much more - if you're interested in playing around with it, or building on top of this commercially, jump on their waitlist: https://lnkd.in/e7TsSb82 More about them here: https://lnkd.in/e52VQWzd Nice work guys!

A few projects we've been working on lately: 🤖 A voice agent that handles recruitment autonomously. 🫰 An MCP-native compliance and payments workflow for digital agencies. 🧑🎓 A centralised company intelligence layer across a business - every system connected, every answer one chat message away. ⚽ A fan engagement platform that turns watching sports into a competitive experience. 🏗️ A workflow automation system for project managers in construction. Different problems across different industries, but with the same approach every time. We put together small, senior, fractional AI teams who ship fast and don't need hand-holding. If you're looking for fractional, AI-led specialists within engineering, GTM, automation & workflow ops, and creative strategy, get in touch. #FractionalTalent #AITalent #Automation

The way businesses access senior talent has permanently shifted. The best fractional specialists are also now 2.2x more likely to use AI tools than their full-time counterparts. This is the model Rafiki Works was built for. Over the past 2.5 years, we've vetted and placed fractional specialists across AI automation, engineering, GTM, product, and sales, sourced from South Africa’s deep and fast-growing senior talent. Most engagements start within a week. rafiki.works #FractionalWork #AITalent #FutureOfWork #Hiring

We started Rafiki Works just over 2.5 years ago, with a thesis that many thought was too early. We believed that within 5-10 years, almost no one would be employed in the way we thought about back then. We hammered down on the fact that very soon, the vast majority of the working world would consist of contractors, fractionals, creators, and networks of micro-agencies that collaborate to service any remaining work that #ai hasn't disrupted. Since then, LinkedIn profiles mentioning fractional roles are up 5,400%. Hiring demand for fractional CMOs, CFOs, CTOs, and GTM specialists is up 68% year-on-year. There's a discrepancy here, and that's where Rafiki plugs in - finding the right fractional talent who understands, lives, and breath ai. Freelancers and fractional specialists are 2.2x more likely to leverage AI tools regularly than full-time employees. The top fractionals are doing the work of 2-3 people. At the same day rate, and with a significantly faster ramp-up than any full-time hire. We're still bullish on the fact that combining fractional, domain and sector expertise with best-in-class AI can create new jobs while enabling businesses to adopt AI and adapt to this ridiculously fast-paced world. #FutureOfWork

Most businesses know they need AI. Very few have the team to implement it, or even know where to start. Here's everything you need to know about types of #ai skillsets, areas of automation, tools to implement, and where Rafiki Works can assist. #automation #fractionaltalent #talent

Rafiki Works recently doubled down on Fractional AI talent & managed delivery teams. Vetted AI engineers, automation specialists, and growth operators, on demand, without the overhead of full-time hiring. Direct-to-talent, or should you wish, the team can manage delivery, compliance (Contractor of Record + Employer of Record), and cross-border payments end-to-end, in 130+ countries. The community has now worked on over 45 projects between the US, EU, UK, and across Africa, from pre-product dev, GTM, to VC-funded startups, across #fintech, #proptech, 3D modelling, FMCG, Gaming, Generative Design Software and AI-Powered Real Estate Development Software. If you're looking for some seriously solid fractional strategist who can actually execute and build systems, get in touch with the Rafiki Works team.

One of our fractional specialists recently created something pretty handy, which we've subsequently started using. They created an agent that connects to your Reddit, scrapes relevant keywords and community posts, conducts sentiment analysis, and automates SEO/AEO structured content for your site, directly into your Webflow CMS. Leveraging #ClaudeCode, #RedditAPI, and a handful of other systems and integrations. With Reddit being a goldmine in natural language insights, LLM indexing, and strategic community seeding, it's a win-win-win across 3 critical platforms for startups. #aitalent #fractionaltalent
