The problem
Environment provisioning, session management and resource monitoring, designed for security, multi-tenancy and concurrent workloads.
South African legal information is scattered across portals with limited keyword search, while international e-discovery platforms are often priced beyond the local market.
Fashion-commerce recommendations usually optimise for another purchase without understanding what the customer already owns.
What was built
—
An integrated research, e-discovery and learning platform: hybrid semantic search across more than 10,000 judgments, a precedent citation graph, structured document extraction, AI-assisted discovery and stateful research workflows.
Fashionly grounds recommendations in the user's wardrobe, builds outfits from existing items and recommends products only where a genuine wardrobe gap exists. Khanya, a LangGraph stylist with about 15 typed tools, handles wardrobe access, catalogue search, saved looks and human-stylist bookings.
