Hedwig is an AI assisted tool that enables freelancers, creators and small business to manage clients and projects. It allows them to generate payment links, invoices and contracts. They can earn through stablecoins and fiat.
Hedwig’s mission is to empower freelancers and small businesses in Africa to get paid faster, more reliably, and with greater professionalism.
We are building an AI-powered financial assistant that simplifies proposals, invoices, and payments—bridging the gap between crypto and local banking systems. By combining automation, trust-building tools, and accessible payment options, Hedwig helps users focus on their work while ensuring they get paid, no matter where their clients are.
Our goal is to make cross-border payments as seamless as sending a message, and to give African freelancers the financial infrastructure they need to thrive in the global economy.
Freelancers across Africa face major challenges when it comes to getting paid. Traditional payment systems are fragmented, cross-border transfers are expensive, and clients often delay or ignore invoices. While crypto offers a faster and borderless alternative, many freelancers find it too complex to manage wallets, track exchange rates, or off-ramp funds into their local bank accounts. This creates friction in receiving payments, managing income, and converting between fiat and crypto seamlessly.
Hedwig solves this problem by acting as an AI-powered freelance assistant directly inside Telegram — a platform widely used across Africa. Hedwig automates financial workflows for freelancers by:
Invoice & Proposal Creation: Generate professional, personalized invoices and proposals that clients can act on instantly.
Payment Links: Shareable links for quick and simple client payments.
Wallet Management: Automatically creates and manages secure crypto wallets for each user with Privy.
Seamless Fiat ↔ Crypto: Integrated with Paycrest APIs and spend permissions, Hedwig allows freelancers to off-ramp stablecoins like USDC directly into local bank accounts, or convert fiat into crypto as needed.
AI Assistance: Provides real-time exchange rates, tracks payments, and generates earnings summaries in exportable formats.
By combining familiar messaging platforms with blockchain infrastructure, Hedwig reduces friction for freelancers, makes payments faster and more reliable, and bridges the gap between traditional finance and crypto.
