Meet the Ajé Bot: Trade Smarter, Safer & Seamlessly on WhatsApp and Telegram

Published on 6/12/2025

Commerce is changing—and Ajé is at the forefront of it. Whether you’re selling puff-puff on campus or buying a used laptop in Lagos, chances are, you’re doing business on WhatsApp or Telegram. But what happens when trust breaks down? Scammers, missed payments, and delivery drama? Enter the Ajé Bot.

🤖 What Is the Ajé Bot?

The Ajé Bot is your digital trade assistant built for informal markets. It helps you:

  • Buy and sell safely using escrow

  • Post flyers in seconds

  • Track your trades and wallet

  • Resolve disputes quickly

  • And soon… even get credit insights based on your trade history.

All within chat. No app download. No long forms. Just straight-to-the-point commands like:

/post – to list a product  

/feeds – to see what others are selling  

/trades – to manage your ongoing deals  

/wallet – to check your balance  

/advisor – to get trade tips

💡 Why It Matters

Informal trade powers Africa’s economy—but lacks the structure to grow securely. Ajé Bot brings trust to the chat by embedding smart contracts, digital receipts, and payment assurance inside the platforms you already use.

“We built this because we’ve lived this—scams in student WhatsApp groups, stress over payment, and missed opportunities. Now, with over 7,800 trades processed, we’re giving everyday traders a system they can rely on.” – Ifeoluwa, Ajé CEO

🌍 Who’s It For?

Ajé Bot is perfect for:

  • Campus sellers and buyers

  • Small-scale merchants and creatives

  • Diaspora traders and digital hustlers

  • Anyone using WhatsApp or Telegram to do business
