Built for UAE-specific needs
Generic AI vendors miss these. We don't.
Multilingual by default
Arabic + English + (commonly) Hindi, Urdu, Russian, Filipino. Built bilingual from day one — not a translation layer.
UAE Data Office aware
Federal Decree-Law 45 (PDPL) and DIFC / ADGM data rules shape architecture. We design for them upfront.
Local hosting options
Deploy on AWS Bahrain / G42 Cloud, Microsoft UAE North, or your own infrastructure for in-region data residency.
WhatsApp-first
WhatsApp is the #1 customer channel. Every customer-facing AI we ship supports it natively.
VAT + free-zone invoicing
AED handling, VAT compliance, free-zone vs mainland nuances — boring but critical details we don't skip.

The UAE FAQ
Do you have a presence in Dubai or Abu Dhabi?+
No — AI Makers LLC is a US company (New Mexico) and I work with UAE clients remotely, with on-site visits to Dubai / Abu Dhabi scheduled per project. Most of the work — discovery, weekly demos, deployment — runs over video and shared screens. You talk directly to the developer building your AI.
Can I pay in AED?+
Quotes are in EUR by default but I can invoice in AED, USD or GBP. Bank transfer, Wise, and crypto all work.
How does data residency work?+
Three options: (1) hosted in our managed cloud (EU); (2) deployed on AWS Bahrain / G42 / Microsoft UAE North for in-region residency; (3) on-premise inside your infrastructure. We pick during discovery based on your data sensitivity and regulator exposure (DFSA, FSRA, DHA, etc.).
Can the AI work in Arabic + English + a third language?+
Yes. UAE customer bases are typically multilingual — Arabic, English, plus Hindi, Urdu, Russian or Filipino depending on the segment. Frontier models handle this well; we test against real customer messages.
How is a UAE project priced?+
UAE projects run from a single WhatsApp bot to multi-department platforms. Fixed price for the agreed scope, quoted after a short scoping chat with me. The written quote spells out what's in and what's out, and you own the code.
