Built by a project manager, for anyone accountable for project delivery

Slayt Intelligence was founded in February 2026 by Jackline Wanjiru Nyaga — a senior project and programme manager with a Master of Science in Project Management from the University of Southampton, and project delivery experience spanning Kenya Revenue Authority and UK local government. Slayt exists because project management platforms collect data and rarely turn it into anything.

Most tools ask you to fill in fields. Slayt reads your data and tells you what to do next. It surfaces governance risks before they become audit findings, flags project delivery momentum before it becomes a programme board crisis, and generates the briefings your leadership needs without requiring you to write them.

What we are for

Projects rarely fail suddenly. They fail quietly, over months, while everyone involved is working hard and nobody has the evidence to say what is going wrong.

Our vision: every project team can see what is really happening on their work, early enough to do something about it.

Our mission: to read the project delivery data teams already produce — milestones, decisions, risks, spend, benefits — and turn it into a straight answer about whether a project is on course, and what to do next.

And to say so plainly when it isn’t known. A tool that always has a number is easy to build and easy to distrust. Slayt scores a project only where there is evidence, says “not yet assessed” where there isn’t, and tells you it could not check rather than telling you everything is fine.

Built for the way project delivery actually varies

Her experience runs deepest in public sector, health and education project delivery — and in the consultancies that serve them. The platform covers 23 sectors today, with more added as the product grows. Each project carries its own sector. All 23 bring their own risk library, field capture tiles and setup examples; most add document templates, benefit measures and budget benchmarks. Document templates follow both the project method you choose — agile, waterfall, hybrid or programme — and your sector. Compliance document checklists are built for health, education, financial services and defence. Where a sector's library is not yet built, projects draw on the general one rather than meeting a gap.

A programme office running forty projects and a service manager running one are not doing the same job, and a tool that treats them identically is useful to neither.

Slayt is configured at setup rather than afterwards. It asks for your sector, your scale and the phase you are actually in, and it calibrates to the answers — the vocabulary it uses, the documents it expects, the benchmarks it compares your budget against, and what it treats as evidence when it scores project health.

That reaches well beyond public sector and health — construction, financial services and charities among them. A Kanban board is never asked for a sprint length. A discovery-phase project is not judged on project delivery evidence it could not yet have.

None of that is a template you apply. It is how the product behaves from the first screen.

The name

The name Slayt almost did not exist.

When I was building this platform, I spent weeks going round and round on what to call it. Nothing felt right. Everything either sounded too corporate, too generic, or was already taken.

Then I landed on Slate. As in a clean slate. A new beginning. A fresh start with clarity and purpose. That felt true — because that is exactly what I wanted Slayt AI to give people. A way to reset how they see and manage project delivery. Free from the guesswork. Free from the noise. Starting from a place of real intelligence rather than gut feel and hope.

But Slate was too common. Too easily lost in a search. Not ownable.

So it evolved. Slate became Slayt — a deliberate respelling that kept the meaning and the sound but created something distinctive. Something that could stand alone. The Y gives it energy. It looks at home in the AI and SaaS space without forcing it.

And underneath the new spelling, the meaning stayed exactly the same:

• A new slate on your projects
• A new way of seeing project delivery
• A fresh start built on intelligence, not instinct
