The Cloudflare for AI production — built by Nigerians, for the world
Cencori is a Nigerian-built AI cloud infrastructure platform — described as 'the Cloudflare for AI production.' It gives developers a single API gateway for every AI model (OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Gemini, Mistral, AWS, Meta, Cohere, DeepSeek, and more) with enterprise security, real-time observability, and smart routing built in. Features include PII protection, jailbreak detection, prompt injection prevention, semantic caching, multi-provider failover, audit logs, cost tracking, and AI memory layers. Built by Nigerians at FohnAI who saw developers at African startups plugging LLMs into production code with zero visibility. Free tier available.
Best for
Use when
You are shipping an AI-powered product and need security (PII protection, jailbreak detection), observability (what requests are being made, at what cost), and reliability (automatic failover across providers) without building that infrastructure yourself.
Skip when
You are still prototyping and have no production users. Cencori becomes essential the moment you ship AI to real users who have PII in their requests.
Built in Nigeria by African founders who understand the continent's AI context — including data privacy requirements under the Nigeria Data Protection Act. Routes to cheaper models automatically to manage cost on Africa's price-sensitive AI budgets. This is the infrastructure layer your AI product needs before it reaches real users.
