We're building Pewbeam for the world.

But we can't deny it started as an idea in Nigeria. For this reason, we offer discounted, location-based pricing for Nigeria, which is cheaper than the standard price.

We also have a free plan we consider generous. When subscriptions are available, we hope you'll subscribe, that's how you can support us for now.

Dara reached out a while back, "are you free to collaborate on a brand identity?"

Today, Pewbeam is live.

Happy to have led the branding and design for this one. 🙏

Pewbeam is live 🎉

This was just a dream, a dream I didn’t even know was possible—but I decided to pursue it anyway. Today, that dream is now a reality. We have a desktop app (Windows and macOS—this weekend) that can do all of this and even more. Over the last six months, I’ve pushed myself and my team hard, and I’ve seen people become hopeful and genuinely blessed by this product. I’ve received strong support from pastors, church members, techies, and several media houses and reporters. It has been a great honor to spend myself on something worthwhile.

We’ve built an AI-native presentation app that displays relevant scriptures on screen in under 80 ms, without needing a volunteer. We’re starting with scriptures, but we’re growing into a comprehensive presentation software, with slides launching next month.

From testing @pewbeam_ai in churches over the last four weeks, pastors have been able to focus on what matters instead of juggling or micromanaging the media team while preaching. Church members have been able to follow their pastor’s references in real time and take better notes. In the words of a member from one of the test churches: “Pewbeam changed the way I follow sermons in church completely.” This is the kind of impact I see Pewbeam having on people’s faith and on how church and worship are done.

Pewbeam’s mission is to ensure the Church is not left behind in the AI era. We’re starting with this application, with many more to come in the next few months. We’ll keep working with stakeholders in the Christian faith, collect feedback, and build tools that better support discipleship. And unlike previous waves of technology, I believe we can be among the first movers in this AI revolution.

With all that said, the final build of the app is ready, and we’re launching for public download on February 25, 2026. The app has a generous free tier for small churches and fellowships, and a paid plan (location-based pricing) that unlocks unlimited access to all features.

If you’ve been following this journey, I appreciate you, and I assure you it will be worth it.

Please download, subscribe, and use in your church.

In Nigerian, and maybe even African visual traditions, perfection has always meant something different from the machine-like uniformity in the West.

Instead, historically, we've defined perfection as incredibly high levels of craft, mastery and meaning. Imperfections aren't flaws but evidence of the human touch, of authorship.

We started talking about ai and job displacement and protection in the EU and she said “I’m not from there so not sure about all that but im not worried about losing my job. My job is to love god and that company has been in business for thousands of years.” Diva for that

[Somawine @_somatime]

this is what you people think AI can take from us.

patience is not passive. I say this because the word has been kidnapped by people who use it to justify inaction. patience with purpose is the most aggressive thing a person can do. a person who knows where they are going and refuses to be rushed and refuses to be stopped and refuses to be distracted is performing an act of violence against every timeline the world tries to impose on them. and the violence is quiet. and the quiet is what makes it devastating. because you cannot argue with a person who does not argue back. you cannot rush a person who has already decided the speed. you cannot discourage a person who is not drawing their encouragement from you. they are drawing it from somewhere you cannot access and therefore you cannot cut the supply and therefore you cannot stop them. and the cannot stop them is what patience looks like when it has a destination. and most people have never seen it because most people’s patience is just waiting. and waiting without direction is just a person standing still and calling it strategy.

@Ferarodidit good things take time
the patience increases the payoff when the plot picks up. in the meantime, appreciate the cinematography dialogue character development

Real art is so important. Even in music, cover art is seen before a song even gets played, I’ve been so blessed to meet the illustrators and artists I know so far, visual art is truly such an important part of making music.

For those of us who are impressed by fast talkers and fast thinkers as a sign of intelligence, a story about the endearing slowness of Niels Bohr’s thinking.

in summary, just find Jesus.

[PS @dostoevesque]

I think modern unhappiness stems from the fact that youngsters nowadays seem to experience everything on a personal level rather than on a structural level. In their world, the only world they live in, they are often left wondering about the meaning of the life they live and about the role they have in this play. This primarily arises from their anti establishment attitude, where it goes beyond the domain of government and encroaches upon the very foundation, moving them away from the values and culture that have thus far shaped the civilization, or at least their ancestors.

In the name of breaking the cycle, they make themselves isolated individuals. By that I do not necessarily mean without friends or relatives, but single on a grander scheme of things. When distrust of institutions spreads, from government to religion to family structures, it does not merely weaken authority, it weakens shared symbolic worlds. The criticsism of tradition can be necessary and healthy, but if it extends to the wholesale rejection of inherited meaning, it leaves a void. They simply do not have any the capability to replace those meanings, because the meanings themselves have endured the test of time.

Every doubt feels cosmic because there is no larger narrative to absorb it. Even if someone rebelled against that role, the structure itself provided something to push against. Today, by taking a stance of total rejection, simply because of their political and ideological beliefs, they step off the stage entirely. They are no longer a link in a long historical chain.

When you are disconnected from your civilization or history's grand narrative, every single failure, heartbreak, or setback becomes an indictment of your entire universe because you are the only universe that exists. By rejecting the wisdom of their ancestors to avoid being controlled, they have inadvertently taken on the impossible psychological burden of having to be their own gods, authoring their own reality every single day.

Yet again another complexed and nuanced discussion on this app that only the extremes are highlighted

[Somawine @_somatime]

@Ferarodidit completely derailed the motion. injecting that much capital into a Nigerian system still finding its feet was a major mistake.

[Somawine @_somatime]

i HATE what Afrobeats has come to stand for, i can’t even pretend to be excited about anything in the mainstream rn and yeah who tf do i think i am lol but what’s actually tragic is sooo many young people who make up the bulk of the culture feel the same way. and there’s money!

[Somawine @_somatime]

these guys listen to new music & first thought is “great but we can’t sell this to white people as Afrobeats”. now what the common man is jamming is so far removed from what’s being pushed in media. my guy the music developed value overseas cuz we valued it here first. cooked.

[Somawine @_somatime]

mehn, unless you’re a service providing talent or an executive or you’re literally born for this shit (iykyk) you will burn out, do music for the passion if you must. this system is not built on talent or even hunger anymore. na only God know wetin dey sup inside those rooms.

but you people will come and cry on Twitter everyday about how Afrobeats is dying la di da…but none of you are using your platforms to build anything for the future, anything that solves problems in your industry. it’s pandering to big names for Elon’s cheques and jollof rice.🤣
