About
VibeCoder Zed is a diverse AI community in Ndola, founded by two Zambian companies, Negocio Konnect and Heightened AI.
This is not only for people who write code. If you use AI in any way — software, graphic design, documents, finance, learning, academics, science, automation, or any other craft — you belong here.
We bring entrepreneurs, business owners, designers, accountants, teachers, students, researchers, engineers, and curious neighbours under one movement: people solving real problems with Artificial Intelligence.
VibeCoder Zed is led by its founding organizations, supported by an Advisory Board, Community Director, and a dedicated team of Technical and Provincial Chapter Leads.
Zambia, NdolaBring together everyone who uses AI — not only software developers — to create solutions that fill service gaps in Zambia, grow businesses, and create work at every level of the economy.
To build Africa's most vibrant community of people who use AI, in every field.
To inspire, train, and support a diverse community of AI users creating solutions that change lives.

Impact
We are not three years in. We are writing chapter one — from Ndola, with a conference on the calendar and a community still being called together. The scoreboard comes later. The work does not.

Tools a Zambian learner can actually open — not software that only lives in a capital-city demo.
Records, reminders, and reach for facilities that still run on paper and patience.
The Copperbelt’s real economy, coded: logistics, yield, safety, and the small operators in between.
Products a Ndola business can pay for, use on a phone, and keep running after the workshop ends.
