Everything You
Want to Know
Who founded DoubleDown AI?+
DoubleDown AI was founded in January 2026 by Duval van Staden (CEO) and his brother Dantus van Staden (CTO) in Vanderbijlpark, Gauteng. Duval is the majority owner and leads strategy and growth; Dantus leads engineering.
Where are you based and where do you work?+
Headquartered at 7 Hanz Coetzee Avenue, Vanderbijlpark, SW5, South Africa. We deliver to clients across Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town, Durban, Port Elizabeth, and remote-first nationwide.
What kinds of businesses do you work with?+
From single-location SMBs (salons, dental practices, attorneys, restaurants) up to mid-market and enterprise. Our pricing tiers — Starter, Intermediate, Pro, Pro+, Custom/Enterprise — are designed to scale with the business.
Is DoubleDown AI POPIA-compliant?+
Yes. POPIA is built into how we deploy — per-client isolated infrastructure, opt-in consent flows on outbound messaging, audit logs for every AI interaction, and a Data Processing Agreement available on request.
How long does setup take?+
Most products go live within 5–7 working days from contract sign-off. Custom builds are scoped on a separate timeline during your strategy call.
Do you require long contracts?+
No. Our subscription products are month-to-month. You pay setup once and the monthly continues until you cancel — with a fair cancel-grace policy so you're never charged for unused service.
Which AI models do you use?+
We choose the right model for each task — typically OpenAI (GPT-4-class) for general reasoning and Anthropic Claude for long-context, document-heavy and structured workloads. Workflows orchestrated on n8n, hosted via Cloudflare.
How do I get started?+
