Nigerian startup Abbadh Labs expands its AI research platform SABABAT
Abbadh Labs says it is expanding SABABAT globally, its AI-assisted research platform.
The company is based in Abeokuta, in Nigeria’s Ogun State, and says the platform is for students, independent researchers, health professionals and institutions.
SABABAT grew out of delays in handling research data, after the founder saw his father, a biostatistics lecturer, spend days entering students’ paper questionnaire responses by hand.
Researchers also often had to move between separate tools for collecting data, finding research and writing, while general-purpose AI could produce false citations or evidence.
The platform brings research tasks into one workspace, with tools for developing topics, creating forms and cleaning and analysing data.
Its research assistant searches more than 250 million academic papers and preprints and provides cited answers, according to the company.
Abbadh Labs says global expansion is continuing after SABABAT’s version 4.0 launch in August 2025.
Nigerian company Abbadh Labs announced the continued global expansion of SABABAT, its AI research and data-analysis platform.
The company is headquartered in Abeokuta, Ogun State, and is bootstrapped.
SABABAT is designed to support research workflows, including topic development, literature research, data collection and statistical analysis.
The platform’s version 4.0 was rolled out on 8 August 2025.
