Quick answer
GeraSkills is a marketplace where developers build and sell robot skills — automations that run on consumer and commercial robots. Kenyan developers can monetise globally and receive payouts in KSh via M-Pesa with transparent KRA-ready invoicing.
Why this matters in Kenya
Kenya's software talent pipeline (Moringa, Strathmore, Alx Africa) is well-positioned to capture the emerging robotics-skills economy. GeraSkills makes it possible for a Nairobi developer to earn USD-level income routed into an M-Pesa wallet.
Regulation and copyright
Published skills are copyrighted under the Kenya Copyright Act (KECOBO). Developers retain ownership; GeraSkills holds a non-exclusive distribution licence. Data processed by skills runs under the DPA 2019 and must respect user consent in the originating market. Hardware safety certification (KEBS in Kenya, CE/FCC elsewhere) applies at the device level.
Payouts in KSh
- Weekly payout via M-Pesa, Airtel Money, or bank
- Competitive FX spread on USD / GBP / EUR earnings into KES
- KRA-ready monthly statements
- Revenue split: 75% developer, 25% platform
