Technology start-ups are gradually developing software solutions which people, companies, and organizations are leveraging on to improve service delivery. One of such start-ups that is the subject of today’s talk is KariXchange.
KariXchange is a start-up software company in Nigeria that builds different platforms “with the latest technology and designed to ensure great user experience which in turn drives growth and wealth creation,” the company website says.
KariXchange recently launched its artificial intelligent bot that is able to predict matches, including big tournaments like the World Cup.
Nyra, an androgynous bot, is intelligent enough to predict matches, chat with users over any topic and create a user-based experience around chats. Nyra prompts predictions from users and any user who makes an accurate counter prediction stands a chance to win gifts, according to a feature story by The Guardian about the bot.

According to KariXchange CEO Eucharia Amanambu, the company is positioning Nyra for the future with a goal to create jobs and empower users leveraging on Artificial Intelligence and the Internet of things.
Nyra was used to predict the Nigeria Vs Iceland game and it predicted in favor of Nigeria which came to pass.
“Match prediction is a difficult area to delve in. Beyond focusing on previous results, each game needs to be analyzed for context. Individual team strength, individual player capabilities, past goal records, clean sheets, the importance of the match, etc., are all contexts that are varied. However we are confident that Nyra is up to the task,” said Amanambu as quoted in a press statement.
Data continuously increases in size each day that goes by. Companies are greatly relying on this data to make informed decisions. Bringing all this data together and applying Artificial Intelligence techniques to it is key to unlocking its great potential. I personally consider data the new mineral that everyone should be looking out for.
