A Cape Town AI studio

The future we were promised.

Robots were meant to do the chores while we got on with living. We're making good on that. SuperFu hands your busywork to friendly machines, so your people get their time back for customers, for each other, and for the work that matters.

See what we do

Six questions. A plan in plain English. No jargon.

This is an estimate. It assumes 46 working weeks a year and that machines take on 25%, 40% or 60% of the repetitive work, depending on the setting. An audit gives you your real number.

How it works

Four stages from first chat to handover. You see the price before each one starts, and you can stop after any of them.

Mission logs

Real missions. Real numbers.

We keep our clients' names private. The work and the numbers are real.

Log 01 · Data & dashboardsIn flight

The services firm

The problem
Hours lived in one system and invoices in others. Nothing joined them, so nobody could see which projects made money.
What we did
One central database that pulls everything in daily, checked against their accounts line by line before anyone relies on it.
What's next
Live dashboards for the numbers the directors care about most.
  • AllP&L lines matched to their accounts
  • Everymonth reconciled
  • Dailyrefresh into one live view

The stretched startup

The problem
A small team juggling investors, grant applications and a busy inbox. Too much to track, too few hands.
What we did
Built them a digital team on Claude: agents for investor research, grant drafting and inbox triage, plus personal assistants for the team. We connected them all to one shared memory of the business.

The boutique retreat

The problem
A beautiful place with a website that didn't feel like it.
What we did
A new site built around their brand and their four retreat themes, with every photo sized to load fast and a plain-English guide so the owners can make changes themselves.

What it proves

Ground control
We've sat on your side of the desk.

SuperFu is a small AI studio in Cape Town. Before AI, our founder Rowan McKenzie spent eight years in private credit, managing a $350M+ trade finance portfolio across Africa and running a $20M agricultural impact fund.

So we look at AI the way an investor would. What does it cost, what does it give back, and how soon? For the past two years we've built AI products, agent teams, Claude integrations and data systems for small teams and growing companies, plus a few of our own.

Plain English, alwaysIf we can't explain it simply, we don't understand it yet.
You own itYour data, your accounts, your code. Nothing held hostage.
Price firstYou see the price before we start. No surprise invoices.
People stay in chargeMachines do the chores. People make the calls.
No stupid questions

Ask us anything.

Will AI replace my team?

No. We take the busywork off your people. Every project starts with one question: what would your team rather be doing?

I'm not techy. Is that a problem?

Not at all. Most of our clients aren't. We explain everything in plain English, and you never have to look at code unless you want to.

Is my data safe?

We build to POPIA, South Africa's privacy law, from day one. On custom builds, your data stays in your own accounts and you own everything we build. On Liftoff, your data sits in our platform account and stays yours.

What does it cost?

Audits start at R5,000 and take three to five days. Every build is quoted before we start, so there are no surprise invoices.

How soon will I see a difference?

An audit takes three to five days. Most first automations are working within two to three weeks.

Do I have to use Liftoff?

No. We're happy to work with the tools you already have, like Pipedrive, Xero, HubSpot or Google Workspace. Liftoff is there when starting fresh is simpler.

Which AI do you use?

Whichever is best for the job, including Claude, GPT and Gemini. On custom builds, you're never locked in to one AI company.

What if something breaks?

Every automation we build tells someone when it stops working. On a Monthly AI partner plan, that someone is us.
