Technology Products

We build products that solve real problems.

Catalyst Gen is a technology company founded in The Gambia. Our products turn how people actually work into structure a system can act on — and we run them ourselves.

Starting in Africa. Scaling globally.

Products built deep, not wide.

We build products and run them end to end. Migration, training, and long-term support are how those products land, not a separate business.

HEREIQ

Know who's here. Know what it means.

One connected system for your workforce.

Attendance on paper. Leave over WhatsApp. Payroll in a spreadsheet. Three records that have to be reconciled by hand every month-end.

HEREIQ connects attendance, leave, payroll, employee records, documents, performance, onboarding, and reporting into one system — so payroll closes from the same data attendance was taken in. It works offline, because the organisations using it don't always have a connection.

Built for NGOs, country offices, and organisations operating across multiple locations.

HEREIQ is the platform previously known as AttendanceGM, rebuilt around everything we learned running it.

AI Intent Layer

Translate human intent into better AI.

AI is becoming part of everyday work, but getting useful results still depends on knowing how to structure a request — a skill most people were never taught. AI Intent Layer reads intent as you write and turns plain language into instructions the model can act on.

  • Real-time intent detection
  • Prompt optimization while you type
  • Missing context identification
  • Cross-model optimization for ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini

On the roadmap: multi-language support, enterprise AI governance, and workflow intelligence.

Built for real organisations.

HR teams who moved their workforce onto the platform, in their own words.

AttendanceGM is not just an attendance system anymore — it is a full HR platform with all the standard features we need. We use it for attendance tracking, leave management, leave balances, holidays, and staff document storage. It helped us migrate completely from manual work to digital, and we are still working with the team to build the HR platform we have always needed.

Catalyst Gen builds interpretation layers.

Every product we build takes something people do informally — showing up, asking for time off, typing a request to an AI — and turns it into structure a system can act on. HEREIQ does that for an organisation's workforce. AI Intent Layer does it for anyone working with an AI model.

We are a product company. We identify problems worth solving, build focused products around them, run those products in production, and improve them from what the people using them tell us.

Built close to the problem. Designed for the world.

01

African roots

We build close to problems traditional software has left underserved — which is why HEREIQ works offline and assumes payroll starts on paper.

02

Global mindset

Every product is built to the scalability, usability, and security standards expected in global markets, not to the limits of its first one.

03

Product thinking

A product earns its place here by turning something people do informally into structure a system can act on. We add technology when it solves a problem, not because it is available.

04

Long-term partnership

We migrate the spreadsheets, train staff in-country, and stay on after go-live. Adoption is part of the product, not a service line.

Built in Africa.
Built for the World.

Catalyst Gen was founded in The Gambia with a simple belief: world-class technology can be built from anywhere.

Africa is where we begin, not where our ambition ends. Building here puts us close to problems that remain underserved by traditional technology — and close enough to the people living them to know when a feature is theory. Artificial intelligence, automation, and intelligent systems will keep changing what we can build. What we build them for stays the same.
