What Mbaza AI Users Say

Brice Roxan MOMBOUA

Research Assistant & Deputy Manager, Lopé-Waka Biomonitoring Project
ParcsGabon

This software can classify thousands of images in less than 1 hour. We save a lot of time in data analysis and the prediction of species identification is impressive with 90% accuracy. It’s a great tool. I don’t need the internet to do the identification and I can do it in the forest.

Charles TROUVE

COO at Sustainable Landscape Project, Gabon

Mbaza has allowed me to really simplify, improve and secure the work of monitoring mammals, bring down the heavy costs and workload of organizing field missions, as well as lower risks for the staff working in the forest. The strength of Mbaza, I think, is its simplicity of use which is within the reach of anyone.

Mbaza AI has completely changed the way I work with the photo trap data, because it allows me to directly upload the images and analyze them in the program, and then get the results with all the needed information. Before, I had to look at photo by photo or video by video and manually add the data into an excel spreadsheet, such as date, season, time, species, and the number of individuals observed (which was very time-consuming).
