Hello! I’m Akram Makni, a software engineer who connects AI with how businesses actually work. I’ve built AI data platforms for enterprise reporting and agents that read documents and answer customers in Tunisian Arabic, French and English. Today I teach master’s students, study business engineering and digitalization, and help Tunisian companies hand their repetitive work to AI.
Reads Tunisian invoices from a PDF or a phone photo, checks that the totals add up, catches duplicates by their unique TTN reference and fills the accounting spreadsheet on its own.

Problem: accountants retype supplier invoices by hand, and errors or duplicate payments slip through.
Solution: the agent extracts seller, buyer, tax IDs, VAT and totals, recomputes HT + VAT + stamp duty, and flags any gap or duplicate before saving.

Problem: managers give instructions by voice, and tasks get lost.
Solution: the model listens to the audio directly, turns relative dates like “Tuesday” into real dates, and never invents a task that wasn’t said.
