Ted Chinekezi, 23years old, and Jesse Chinekezi, 20 years old, are software programmers and co-owners of Avatar and Qantum AI Technologies Limited. The duo have launched Multiverse, a vibe coder that can be described as one of the most dynamic and agentic AI builders in the world. In this interview Ted Chinekezi, explained what differentiates Multiverse from other vibe coders, detailing the uniqueness of the product, its capacities and capabilities. He spoke with GODFREY OFURUM in Aba. Excerpts:
What is Multiverse, how did It come about?
Let me start by saying that it has been such a tough journey. We established our company in March 2025. The first product we built was a chatbot. We have been building Multiverse, our flagship product for some time. It’s a vibe coder, which simply means an AI builder.
What’s an AI builder? If I want to explain it clearly, it is simply an app (application) that can design software, build websites, build all kinds of apps and all manner of software programmes. Naturally, in traditional programming, it takes months and years to build some apps and code bases. But now, with AI apps, like Multiverse, all that is needed is to collect your prompt and instructions and put them into reality.
Whatever you ask it to do for you in terms of software, it’ll do it. You can demand a website for your law firm and build a website for your fashion line and an app that will track your speed limit. It’ll take the prompt and code. It codes in 12 programming languages. It writes those codes so quickly that in a matter of seconds, it can give you whatever prompt you asked for. Someone who’s not tech-inclined can actually build something as long as he has an idea of what he/she wants to build.
You don’t need to consult a tech developer. All you need to do is bring out your phone or whatever device you have, prompt it, and watch your idea come to life. Note that we’re not the first to create this type of vibe coder. We’re not even the first in Africa. There are other companies before us. So, this is not new. However, some things make the multiverse different and special.
So, what’s the difference between Multiverse and others like it. What is its unique selling propositions (USPs)?
Let me start with the sign language input. Unlike any other AI builder, Multiverse has sign language input. Those facing disabilities can equally make use of Multiverse to create something. You see, the user on the Multiverse camera can give a sign in language for the Multiverse camera to capture and create that idea into reality. Let me break it down: it uses Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and takes the sign language instructions and prompts and produce them. This is one smashing ability that Multiverse has.
Another thing is that Multiverse is equally conversational. You literally don’t need to type. You can give yourself instructions, through voice in about 16 languages, including major Nigerian languages, like Igbo, Hausa, Yoruba and Pidgin English, and interpret and produce them. That is to tell you that it breaks the barrier of literacy. All you need is an idea and a concept, and Multiverse will take you to your reality.
Multiverse equally has a marketing suite, where it can generate an advertisement banner for the ideas you’ve created. For instance, if you create a fashion website, it’ll immediately prompt itself to generate a branded banner for what you built instantly, and you can download it.
You don’t need to hire a developer to help you do that anymore. It has something we call the ‘marketing mode’. When you switch it on, it gives you a write-up to use for a proper introduction about your site. It is equally important to mention that Multiverse, unlike any other vibe coder, has five preview engines.
A preview engine is the part of the vibe coder that shows you what you’ve just built. Normally in other vibe coders, the preview engine can fail; it’s possible. It happens, and most times users will face some frictions previewing their apps. However, Multiverse is there to let you use up to five that’ll allow you to switch over to anyone if the previous one fails. It simply gives you comfort.
So, which among the above USPs of Multiverse placed it above other vibe coders?
Before we get to that, I must say that I’m not yet done giving you the difference between Multiverse and some AI builders out there. You see, one of the most unique things about Multiverse is that it has what is called the Multiverse Marketplace. This is where we changed the game entirely, so that even the multibillion-dollar companies in China, Europe and the US never saw it coming.
What we did here is that users can prompt the app in that marketplace and sell. It’s like your Jumia or any e-commerce place, but there, nobody is selling physical products. What you sell there are generated apps, websites and ideas. It makes the Multiverse have the opportunity to accommodate different kinds of users and allows these users to easily earn a living with their creative ingenuity. There are people who will use Multiverse to prompt for their personal needs.
There are also users who come to buy already-generated apps. They are not there because they want to build anything, but are around to see what other tech guys have built and buy from them. So, you just come here, scroll through, see the apps you like and negotiate to acquire them.
Note also that Multiverse equally has a feature called ‘community’ where all the developers, who signed into it can actually chat with each other to share ideas and post apps. It’s like a mini social media platform built inside the multiverse where developers interact and rob minds.
Don’t you think this marketplace calls for a serious security control mechanism?
Oh yes, you are correct. Although I’m not done stating the uniqueness of the multiverse, let me also touch on the control of the Multiverse marketplace, which is equal to the things that make it unique.
Multiverse has an escrow account. Breaking it down means I’m talking about a lawful monetary, or should I say, a financial arrangement online, where a neutral third party temporarily holds funds, assets, or documents on behalf of two other parties in e-commerce. Here, the products are heavily secured and can only be released to the receiving party once specific conditions or contractual obligations are met to everyone’s satisfaction. Its major objective is to remove the risk of a buyer paying, but never receiving the product or a seller handing over the product, but never getting his payment.
So, the escrow I’m talking about is simply an inbuilt platform, where the buyer and seller can interact safely and transact without scams or fraud. The buyer will pay, the escrow will hold the money, and the Multiverse Market will transmit and give the entire code base of that product to the buyer.
Once the buyer confirms he has received every necessary thing, the seller receives his cash. So, Multiverse is not just about building software; it is equally about building an economic ecosystem within it. So, it’s a new platform where one can earn a genuine income.
Are you saying that Multiverse has to take the vibe coder to another level?
Exactly, and while still talking you through the USPs of Multiverse, you also need to know that Multiverse has eight models that are responsible for building apps and correcting codes. Put simply, a model is the digital brain that recognises patterns and makes decisions. It is created by applying algorithms to large datasets, so it can learn to perform specific tasks. Most builders have just one or probably two models, but Multiverse has eight. So, each of these models has its own vibes; the same prompt you give each model and its output are not the same as the output of the other models. They have their different vibes. You may choose to like one model over the other and probably start using it more frequently. All were aimed at improving user experience in models.
There is another special thing most Vibe Coder users need to know about the Multiverse. It’s actually going to change the vibe coder. Some vibe coders do have access to everyone’s projects. We’ve heard of some that had issues, and boom, people’s secret passwords and other things were leaked, and that happened because the foundation of their backend was about having access to people’s information.
They have protection from external people, but have access to whatever the users are doing. In Multiverse, it’s not like that. By default, when you create an account, you have your own backend, and we don’t have access to people’s passwords and projects. It’s another high-level security and another high-level tech respect. That’s one thing that makes the Multiverse unique.
Don’t you think that this restricted access to users’ backend could backfire when they have problems that need your attention?
It cannot backfire, because Multiverse already has another of its USPs to take care of that. It is called the ‘Beast Agent’. It’s like a magician. Users can prompt the beast agent to correct whatever the problem is. The beast agent is autonomous and controls itself. On Multiverse, we have a provision called support, where you can actually have live chat with the admin, as well if you don’t want to make use of the best agents.
Yes, we don’t have access to your backend, and that’s why there’s support, where you can submit the credentials of your backend for us to come in based on your own request to fix whatever it is that actually needs only us to do. The backend, which Multiverse uses, is called BlueBase. It’s an agentic AI that can act on its own.
Something makes the Bluebase unique. Other vibe coders have no agentic function in their backends. If you are putting your secret keys and other things, you have to do it yourself. Imagine when you don’t know it; it means you must consult the developer. The multiverse is not like that. Our backend is agentic.
Remember this backend’s agentic AI is different from the frontend agentic AI of the multiverse. Multiverse is another entity from Bluebase, but they work together with two different agentic AIs. Whatever the Multiverse agentic AI cannot fix, the backend’s agentic AI that has full and scary control over everything in that backend can handle it. Its control is limitless. Now, that’s where this brand of backend, called the Bluebase, comes in to fix such errors. However, if you don’t want to use Bluebase, Multiverse agentic AI can fix it. If you don’t want to use either of these AI options, then there’s a provision for support, where we can come in through your request and fix it.
You talked about the Multiverse beast agent, why that name?
Alright, it is because of what it does and how it does them quickly. It does everything for Multiverse. It can build a type of codebase and can deploy by itself. It can buy domains for you and link them to your project. All it needs is the commands. Usually, when you build something with other vibe coders, you need the developers to divulge your code base to connect it to your project so that when someone goes to Google, he can search for whatever domain that vibe coder has made. The Multiverse Beast agent can autonomously build the project, deploy it, and buy the domain outside the multiverse. It’s an agentic AI that takes actions. All you need is to type the domain you prefer, and it’ll go immediately; purchase it and link it to your project without delay.
The only delay that comes is the payment angle, which it doesn’t handle. It allows you to handle the payment angle and prompts it to continue its own part. After payment, it takes over and links the domain to the website. An American company in San Francisco has an agent that ranks the best so far, but without sounding biased, I think what we have is superior to that. Multiverse’s beast agent has it all. There’s nothing that it cannot handle in this field.
With all these features that Multiverse possesses, isn’t it going to take many people off their jobs?
That is not the plan. The projection and vision are to even create more jobs and better channels for businesses. You see, according to an account I have read, because I wasn’t born then when the computers were coming out newly, typists and office workers that only knew how to operate typewriters were shouting that it’d take them out of jobs. Today, have we not created more jobs with the computers than whatever the typewriters could have done? Like I said, I wasn’t born then, but history is clear about it. The world has built a foundation on technology. Evolution cannot be denied. It must take place, and it’s taking place. It doesn’t hide under emotions and feelings. It rather pushes people to get involved and be part of the changes coming. Evolution cannot be reversed. This multiverse is built to take us to a better destination with limitless abilities. We’re not supposed to be afraid of the future. The comfort zone is not the best place. There’s more out there, and there’s more to come. Innovation must take place for us to move our world forward. All you need is to command. When you do, if that operational model cannot handle it, shift to another model, and it’ll happen.
All we need to do as a people is to get ready to grab the available opportunities, because the world is moving on without delay. For instance, in our journey towards achieving Multiverse, we’ve built about seventy different apps, while in the process of testing the abilities of Multiverse since we got involved in building it.
We can actually push all those apps to the Multiverse Marketplace and sell all of them. It is an opportunity for us to make money. The multiverse is not stopping anybody from making money. Just come in with your genuine ideas and create something and make money. You can be a good web designer with the prompting system of Multiverse.
You’ve talked about the USPs of Multiverse, are you not concerned about negative usage of it?
We already got that settled, so we’re not disturbed about it. Take note of this: all Multiverse models are security-centric. The Multiverse cannot build anything that’s malicious, obscene or morally negative. When you make such a negative instruction or request, the answer you’ll get is please, I can’t help you. It cannot generate harmful codes. If you like requesting a website for adult content, it’ll respond that it cannot help you. It will give you some positive options. Instead of building for you an adult app, it’ll simply take you to an option of a dating app that’s a bit better.
What are those challenges faced so far in this journey?
We as a company may not say we’re actually facing any challenge. We are not facing any challenges. We’re also not ignorant that it may come. However, no challenge will be greater than what we went through trying to build something as autonomous as the multiverse. Multiverse has about 63 abandoned projects. We built them; most weren’t functioning, most had issues, and we had to move on. At a point, this particular one stopped sometime around January 2026, but something happened. We insisted that we cannot make it 64 abandoned projects. Today, Multiverse has a seamless user experience. No challenge out there will be greater than what we have conquered.
Finally, do you think Nigeria is making headway in AI, where are we?
Honestly, I’ll confess that there’s no support for young tech people coming up. Most are struggling to bring in technological trends into Africa. People are struggling to make impact. No serious AI institutions. Those you see have childish curricula. They’re not teaching anything. No serious support. I’ve not seen any investor calling tech guys to bring their projects to be looked into and see what it’ll turn out to be. From the beginning, we’re the giant of Africa.
A country that has the knowledge we have today in Nigeria can conquer the world positively. We don’t need to produce negative people that stain our name; if only they could support us and put the struggling guys to good use. We all can channel our knowledge to the positive part. You can see that some online payment platforms came out from Nigeria. We have the brain; we’re the true giants of Africa. All we need is a decent society to rule the world. Despite the economic challenges, we’re moving as though nothing is happening. Bring the opportunities you give to the tech guys outside Nigeria to Nigeria and see.
