About Iyke Tega, founder of That AI Operator

Engineer first

Before this, I spent 8+ years as a software engineer and engineering manager, building systems for organisations including NNPC, the Central Bank of Nigeria, the National Teachers' Institute, the Nigeria Police Force and the Nigerian Army. Those were systems that had to work every day, for a lot of people, without excuses.

I then spent 4+ years in growth marketing and SEO, including leading SEO and IT at a security group and working as a fractional CMO for a business software company. I studied Applied Mathematics at the University of Benin, and I won HackJos in 2016.

Why sales systems

For most small businesses, getting enquiries isn't the problem. They pay for ads, they post every day, and the enquiries come in. Then the replies come late, nobody follows up, and last year's best customers never hear from them again. The money is already at the door. It just isn't being let in.

So that's what I build: systems on your own WhatsApp that reply in seconds, follow up politely, and bring past customers back, tested properly before they ever talk to a customer alone.

How I work

• I measure before I pitch. I time your reply to a real enquiry, so we both know if this is worth your money.
• Your accounts, your data. Everything runs on your own WhatsApp, Meta and Google accounts.
• Honest numbers. Example figures are labelled as examples. On our call we use yours.
• No spam, ever. I don't message bought lists or strangers, and I won't build a system that does.
• 4 builds every 2 weeks. I build and test each one myself, so I cap how many I take.
