Case Studies
Custom AI deployed for UAE enterprises.
Dubai Law Firm — AI Document Intelligence
Problem
50+ attorneys spent 40% of time manually reviewing contracts for key clauses, obligations, and risk indicators. A 100-page contract took 3-4 hours. Inconsistencies between reviewers created compliance exposure.

Custom RAG system using LangChain, Claude, and Pinecone. Ingested 50,000+ historical contracts. Arabic/English bilingual extraction of 47 clause types with risk scoring. Integrated into their document management system via API.
Results
Review time dropped from 3.5 hours to 12 minutes. 94% extraction accuracy on clause identification. 75% associate time savings. Zero critical misses in 6-month audit. System processes 12,000+ documents/month.

Problem
Rules-based fraud system had 15% false positives (blocking legitimate transactions) and missed emerging fraud patterns. 2.1s latency hurt conversion. Needed real-time ML with explainability for regulator audit.
Solution
Custom XGBoost + neural ensemble trained on 18M transactions. Feature engineering for device fingerprinting, velocity, graph embeddings. Deployed on Kubernetes with TensorRT optimisation (45ms p99). SHAP explanations for every decision. UAE data residency on Azure UAE North.

Problem
Arabic clinical notes were processed by generic NLP (68% F1). Doctors spent 4+ hours per discharge summary. Medical coders struggled with terminology gaps. HIPAA/DHA compliance required.
Solution
Fine-tuned AraBERT + clinical Arabic corpus (500K notes). Custom entity schema: diagnoses, medications, procedures, lab values. Integrated into EHR via FHIR. On-premise GPU deployment for data sovereignty.
Results
Entity extraction F1: 91% (Arabic). Discharge summary generation: 8 minutes. Coder throughput: 4.1 charts/hr (2.3 baseline). DHA audit passed. Model serves 200+ clinicians daily.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need my own data to build an AI solution?
It depends on the use case. LLM chatbots can work well with publicly available models and your business rules alone. RAG systems and fine-tuned models require your proprietary documents, databases, or historical records. Predictive ML models need labelled historical data. During our discovery phase, we assess your data readiness and advise on what's needed.
How long does it take to develop a custom AI application?
A basic LLM chatbot or RAG prototype can be delivered in 4-6 weeks. Full production-grade AI applications with fine-tuning, integrations, and custom interfaces typically take 10-16 weeks. Complex multi-model AI systems with MLOps infrastructure can take 16-24 weeks. We provide a detailed timeline after the discovery phase.
What is the difference between using LLM APIs and building custom models?
LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic) provide quick access to powerful pre-trained models — ideal for chatbots, content generation, and general reasoning tasks. Custom ML models are needed when you have unique data patterns (industry-specific forecasting, proprietary image classification) that general models cannot handle. We help you choose the right approach based on accuracy requirements and cost considerations.
How do you ensure AI accuracy and prevent hallucinations?
We implement RAG architecture to ground responses in your verified data, use prompt engineering and chain-of-thought techniques, apply guardrails and output validation, and set up human-in-the-loop review for critical applications. We also establish evaluation benchmarks and continuous monitoring to catch drift.
What does custom AI development cost in Dubai?
Our projects start at AED 20,000 for prototypes and scale to AED 120,000+ for enterprise systems. LLM API costs are separate based on query volume (typically AED 500-5,000/month for moderate usage). We provide fixed-price proposals after discovery with milestone-based payments.
Can you deploy on-premise or in UAE cloud regions for data residency?
Yes. We deploy on Azure UAE North, AWS Middle East (Bahrain/UAE), GCP Dubai, or on-premise GPU clusters. All model weights, training data, and inference logs stay within your chosen jurisdiction. We've passed security audits for DIFC, ADGM, Dubai Government, and healthcare entities.
Do you support Arabic language AI (NLP, OCR, chatbots)?
Yes, this is a core differentiator. We fine-tune Arabic LLMs (AraBERT, Jais, custom), build Arabic/English bilingual RAG, develop Gulf dialect-aware chatbots, and process Arabic documents with specialised OCR. Our team includes native Arabic speakers for evaluation and annotation.
What happens after delivery — do you provide ongoing support?
Every engagement includes post-launch support: 1 month (Basic), 3 months (Professional), 6 months (Enterprise). This covers bug fixes, model retraining, performance tuning, and knowledge transfer. We also offer ongoing MLOps retainers for continuous monitoring, drift detection, and quarterly model updates.
