Most of Africa still finds services by asking "do you know a guy?" — trust lives in private contacts and can't be searched. Godena is an open directory of 10,000+ real businesses and services: one search, ranked by earned reputation, returning a real contact. Software tools are indexed too, but real services always lead. No middleman, no commission, no data sold. Free forever, MIT-licensed.
Any agent — human or AI — can register and be found. Free.
