For decades, computers have revolutionized mundane tasks and are now transforming the artificial intelligence (AI) industry. The global AI market is projected to reach USD 703.7 billion in 2027, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 42.4% from 2020 to 2027. At the forefront of this expansion is Clive AI, owned and operated by a visionary Nigerian entrepreneur, Nnamdi Okeke.
Current AI models encounter hurdles in terms of ownership, democratization, and seamless integration. They struggle with multi-layered replies and lack the ability to think in-depth, rendering them unsuccessful in unpredictable situations. Also, the AI landscape is battling for domination and competition among many AI assistants, with a heavy reliance on predefined replies. This competitive dynamic stifles collaboration, resulting in a lack of creativity and flexibility in issue resolution.
AI companies are fragmented, with different models functioning independently, preventing the development of a cohesive and comprehensive AI experience. The complexity and resource-intensive task of generating and maintaining different AI models make them inaccessible to startups and developers. The emphasis should be on making AI accessible to a broader public rather than a chosen few.
Clive AI, Nnamdi Okeke's brainchild, unveils a profound vision for democratizing artificial intelligence. His vision for Clive is to create an inclusive AI landscape by fostering a robust partner and developer ecosystem. This company aims to collaborate with other companies, rather than compete with them, and transcend conventional AI assistance boundaries.

Nnamdi Okeke is a computer science major from Northeastern University in Boston. He graduated in 2015 and moved back to Nigeria. He decided to work on Clive as a side project. Okeke's interest in AI stemmed from his childhood fascination with talking to computers and the potential for artificial intelligence.
Okeke thinks that with the technology we have now, it's possible to create user-friendly large language models (LLM). He believes that the approach to AI should be less about features and more about creating quality products. Instead of having a hundred features, companies should focus on building AI assistants that are more valuable to users.
Okeke's emphasis on being different resonates in the tech sphere, where collaboration often takes a back seat. His core ambition is to create an “AI companion” beyond conventional tasks, capable of enhancing life's comfort.
The focus on software intelligence complements rapid hardware advancements, positioning Clive AI at the forefront of innovation. Its features include seamless interaction with financial services, transaction processing, and automation of repetitive processes, to remove complexity from daily activities and redirect energy toward more impactful endeavors. The system ranks requests based on user priority, such as Google Calendar requests, account balance requests, and authorization requests.
The platform also offers features like distance calculations, weather checks, and image generation. As users use Clive, they may request more features, but the best approach is to launch with only a few capabilities. The conversational capabilities are similar to other basic LLMs, such as writing a poll or proposition. However, Clive has added personal integrations to allow it to talk to multiple users down the line.
Clive AI has been in stealth mode for more than one and a half years and is on the verge of achieving a major milestone after the current funding round is closed and the engineering team is strengthened. According to Statista, the number of digital assistants in use globally will increase, with the amount predicted to reach 8.4 billion by 2024. With this rise in mind, the company has announced the imminent launch of the developer community, indicating its commitment to collaboration.
Okeke has taken the necessary steps to ensure scalability, which is why the team has grown to meet the demand for product launches. As the company prepares to unlock its full potential in the artificial intelligence market, there is a sense of excitement as the company strives to establish itself as an industry leader.
The goal at Clive is not just to build an AI assistant app. The app is the first and the tiniest innovative step in the grand plan. Okeke’s vision for Clive is pretty clear, “The goal in the future is to build our ecosystem. With hardware products like earpieces, glasses, and floaters to enhance the user experience of our clients.”
This AI assistant consolidates user's favorite apps into a single one, providing a new way to interact with these apps through speech. The goal of Clive is to build an assistant that saves users time by focusing on human-centric design and providing tangible convenience.
