AI has become normal business practice in the UAE. A 2026 report by Strand Partners with AWS and the UAE Artificial Intelligence Office found that 72% of UAE businesses have adopted AI, up from 53% in 2025. The safest way to start is one clear task, such as answering WhatsApp enquiries or booking appointments, then grow from there.
What we build for GCC businesses
Every build works in Arabic and English where you need it, and connects to the tools you already use.
WhatsApp AI agents
Answer enquiries, qualify leads and book viewings or appointments on WhatsApp, day and night, then hand over to your team with a summary.
Arabic and English voice agents
An AI receptionist that answers calls, books, reschedules and routes callers in either language. See voice AI agents.
Customer support agents
Order status, returns and product questions for e-commerce and service firms, on your website, WhatsApp or app. See support agents.
Knowledge assistants
Private AI search over your policies, contracts and manuals in Arabic and English, with links to the source. See RAG assistants.
Document and workflow automation
Read invoices, trade documents and forms, update your systems and remove copy-and-paste work with n8n, Make or custom code. See workflow automation.
Custom AI agents
Agents that act in your CRM, ERP or booking system, with clear limits and human approval for anything that matters. See AI agent development.

Built for UAE and Saudi data rules
We design every project around the data laws that apply to you, and agree in writing where data is stored and who can see it. This is general information, not legal advice.
- UAE: the federal Personal Data Protection Law (Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021) covers most companies. Firms in the DIFC and ADGM free zones follow their own data protection laws instead.
- Saudi Arabia: the Personal Data Protection Law has been fully enforceable since 14 September 2024, overseen by SDAIA. Sending personal data outside the Kingdom needs approved safeguards.
- Data residency: where data must stay in the country, we host in a cloud region inside the UAE or Saudi Arabia, or on your own servers.
- Your control: you own the code, prompts and data, AI accounts are in your company's name, and risky actions need a person's approval.

Frequently asked questions
- Do you build AI agents that speak Arabic?
- Yes. We build chat and voice agents that work in Arabic and English, and can switch between them in one conversation. We test them with real messages or call recordings from your customers, because Gulf dialects and mixed Arabic-English messages vary.
- Can our data stay in the UAE or Saudi Arabia?
- Yes. Where your data must stay in the country, we can host the agent in a cloud region inside the UAE or Saudi Arabia, or on your own servers, and choose AI models that can run there.
- Do you work with companies in Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the rest of the GCC?
- Yes. We serve the whole GCC from our Dubai office. Most work happens remotely, with meetings in Dubai when needed.
- How much does an AI agent cost in AED?
- A focused AI agent for one workflow usually starts at about AED 18,400 to 44,100 (USD 5,000 to 12,000). A WhatsApp or website chatbot starts at about AED 9,200 to 22,000. Arabic plus English adds about 15%.
- How long does a project take?
- A first chatbot or automation takes 1 to 4 weeks. A first AI agent or voice agent usually takes 4 to 8 weeks, including testing with your real data.
- Where is your office?
- Our Dubai office is Office 408, 4th Floor, Al-Wasal Building, Dubai. We also have offices in Karachi and Manchester, New Hampshire.
