Nigerian Startup Dayroom Launches Innovative Workplace Software

Oluwafikayomi Gideon Adeleke, a Nigerian software engineer, has launched Dayroom, a workplace software designed to enhance communication and task management for smaller businesses. Officially launched on October 12, 2026, Dayroom integrates team messaging, video calls, project management, and an AI assistant into a shared virtual office environment.

This platform allows users to import WhatsApp conversation histories, facilitating the transition from informal communication to structured software. Adeleke's vision is to maintain the context of discussions, decisions, and tasks, addressing the common issue of losing context when using multiple applications.

Dayroom features an online office organized around project rooms, messages, and calls, with an AI companion that helps users retrieve information from past discussions. The project management feature, Dayroom Works, enables teams to organize responsibilities alongside conversations, ensuring that tasks remain connected to their original context.

Adeleke's approach also considers the limitations of AI-generated summaries, aiming to preserve the integrity of discussions and decisions.
