we actually give.

Iyara Labs offers four services for businesses in the UAE and the US.

• Next-Generation AI Websites: Brand sites and e-commerce storefronts built with GEO-ready architecture to rank on Google and get cited by ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude.
• Conversational AI: Chatbots, WhatsApp commerce bots, and voice agents in Arabic, English, Hindi, and Tagalog via the official WhatsApp Business API.
• Data Analytics & Dashboards: Custom dashboards connecting your ad platforms, CRMs, and commerce tools into one automated view.
• AI Consulting & Implementation: An operations audit, a ranked shortlist of opportunities with impact estimates, hands-on rollout, and team training.

Every service runs on either a Launch (one-time build you own) or Eclipse (ongoing monthly retainer) tier.

Iyara Labs has active clients across real estate, logistics, retail, fintech, healthcare, and B2B SaaS, across the UAE and US.

• Real estate, logistics, and marketing agencies: Active across Dubai and Abu Dhabi in the UAE and GCC.
• B2B SaaS, AI companies, and HIPAA-compliant healthcare: Operating across the United States.
• SOC 2 controls and GDPR principles: Built-in compliance; deployable entirely on your own infrastructure.

If your industry isn't listed, book a call. If you have repetitive manual work slowing things down, we can help.

AI automation replaces repetitive manual tasks with software that runs continuously. No person needed at every step.

• Over 90% reduction in order processing time: In one UAE client engagement, an AI bot took over WhatsApp order handling with no manual steps required.
• Over 40% more efficient invoice reconciliation: A UAE shipping company handles more shipments with the same headcount after implementing AI analytics tools.
• 10,000 forms processed per year at 99.6% accuracy: An AI pipeline handles healthcare intake forms for a US clinic with zero manual intervention.

AI is ready. The only question is which parts of your operation still depend on a person doing what software could handle.

Iyara Labs is based in Dubai (UAE), with a team in San Francisco (US).

• Dubai, UAE: Active across Dubai and Abu Dhabi; available for in-person meetings.
• San Francisco, US: Operating across both coasts; available for clients in New York, San Francisco, and beyond.

Yes. Clients in the EU, the UK, and elsewhere are welcome. Offices in Dubai and San Francisco cover most global time zones, and we're flexible for everywhere else.

Nothing formal. No brief, no spec, no budget figure. Come with a problem or a frustration; we ask the questions, and by the end of the call you'll know exactly what's worth building.

Most engagements begin within 5 to 10 business days of the first conversation. There's no extended sales cycle. Discovery, scoping, and proposal move fast because we've built enough systems across enough industries to know exactly what we're doing.

Both. We don't separate them because consulting alone ends in a slide deck and building without consulting solves the wrong problem.

• Operations audit: Maps where time is lost, which processes are automatable, and what each opportunity is worth.
• Ranked shortlist: A prioritised list of AI opportunities with impact estimates and build costs.
• Production delivery: Before the engagement ends, one working automation ships to production, not a prototype.
• No lock-in: Stop after Launch or continue on Eclipse retainer; most clients keep going.

Other consultants stop at the recommendation. We build the thing.

If any one of these three signals is present, you're ready.

• Repetitive manual work: Any process a person performs the same way more than 20 times a month is an automation candidate. Volume is the qualifier, not complexity.
• Unused data: If your business generates data (customer behaviour, sales patterns, operational metrics) that nobody is actively analysing, that's an immediate opportunity.
• Repeated customer questions: If your team answers the same questions over email, WhatsApp, or phone more than 30 times a week, a conversational AI can handle them without human intervention.

Most businesses have all three. The first call is 30 minutes and identifies the highest-impact opportunity. No preparation required.

Most builds are production-ready in 3 weeks from kick-off. You have a first working version to test after week one. Complex integrations or advanced AI workflows can run to 4 weeks. Comparable agencies typically spend 4 to 6 months on work we finish in under a month.

Every engagement moves through five clear stages, each with a defined output and a sign-off point.

• Discovery: We align on the problem and agree on what's worth building.
• Scoping & proposal: A clear brief, fixed cost, and timeline before any work begins.
• Build & feedback: Working software for your review from sprint 1; most clients bring teams in early.
• Deployment & handover: Live system with everything you need to own it.
• Ongoing improvement: Eclipse retainer for clients who want continuous progress after launch.

Most clients check in weekly; some prefer daily. We match whatever rhythm works for your team.

Always. Working software ships for your review from the very first sprint, and we encourage clients to bring their teams into testing from day one. No surprises at launch.

A 30-day support window at no extra cost comes standard with every delivery. After that, most clients move to an Eclipse retainer. AI systems improve with real-world use, so the value compounds.

Most clients see measurable operational impact within the first 30 days of go-live.

• Conversational AI: A WhatsApp lead qualification agent built for a UAE real estate client was handling 87% of inbound property enquiries autonomously within two weeks of deployment.
• Data dashboards: Teams typically recover 5 to 10 hours per week of manual reporting time within the first month of operating a live automated dashboard.
• AI automation: A UAE logistics client reduced invoice reconciliation time by over 40% in the first month after deployment, handling a higher volume of shipments with the same headcount.

Results depend on which process was automated and the volume it handles. We always scope for a measurable metric. If we can't point to something that will move, we say so before starting.

Any language. Websites, apps, and conversational AI all support Arabic, Spanish, French, Hindi, and more via LLM-based translation with high accuracy.

• Single or full multi-language support: Build for one language or several from day one; the architecture handles both.
• English, Hindi, and Malayalam: Native client communication languages within our team.
• Any other language: We bring in the right language support for every project, regardless of market.

Iyara Labs is model-agnostic. OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, Mistral, and open-source models are all on the table, chosen by what fits the problem.

• OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, Mistral, and open-source: Every major language model is available; selection is driven by the use case, not preference.
• AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, or your existing stack: No locked-in infrastructure vendor.
• No vendor relationships: We pick what works, not what pays us.

Yes. Integration with your existing stack is always the first option we evaluate, not a fallback.

• HubSpot, Shopify, Mixpanel, Stripe: And most standard REST APIs; no rip-and-replace required.
• Official Meta Business API: WhatsApp bots run on the stable, compliant channel, not at risk of shutdown.
• EHR systems, billing platforms, and ad platforms: Including compliance-sensitive integrations for healthcare and finance.
• Custom builds: Only when off-the-shelf would constrain your business, and we explain exactly why before building.

No. Existing platforms, APIs, and tools are always the first option. Custom builds happen only when an off-the-shelf solution would force your business to work around its limitations, not yours, and that trade-off is always explained before we start.

Data security is a baseline requirement. All solutions are built to SOC 2 controls and GDPR principles.

• On-premises or your own cloud: Sensitive data stays fully under your control; no forced third-party storage.
• HIPAA-compliant delivery: Proven for US healthcare clients where data confidentiality requirements are strict.
• Non-negotiable confidentiality: Built for finance and government clients within your existing data governance framework.

Yes. An NDA is signed before any meaningful discovery work begins, and every engagement runs under a formal contract with clear deliverables, payment terms, and IP ownership provisions. You own everything we build.

A chatbot follows a script. An AI agent can reason, take actions, and handle situations it was not specifically trained on.

• Rule-based chatbots: Fast, reliable, and predictable. Handles the queries it was built for; fails gracefully outside that scope. Best for high-volume, consistent workflows: FAQ handling, order status, appointment booking.
• AI agents: Can reason through novel problems, call external APIs and tools, take multi-step actions, and handle complex conversations requiring judgment. Best for lead qualification, escalation routing, and internal workflows that involve decision-making.

Iyara Labs builds both. The right choice depends on what the use case actually requires, not which sounds more advanced.

Yes, when built on the official WhatsApp Business API, which is the only channel Iyara Labs uses.

• Official Meta Business API: The compliant infrastructure for WhatsApp automation. All Iyara Labs WhatsApp bots run on this platform, in line with UAE Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority (TDRA) requirements.
• No unofficial tools: Third-party WhatsApp automation tools that bypass the official API are non-compliant and at risk of account termination under Meta's terms. We do not build on these.
• GCC market experience: We have active WhatsApp automation deployments across the UAE and broader GCC, built to withstand the platform and regulatory requirements of these markets.

Iyara Labs works with startups, SMBs, and enterprise organisations, typically 5 to 5,000 employees, from funded startups to publicly listed companies. What they share is that they're ready to act, not just explore. If you want a pilot that stays a pilot, we're not the right fit.

That's what the first call is for. Come with a problem or just a frustration, and we'll turn it into a plan you can actually act on. Most of our best work started exactly like that.

Yes. For qualified engagements, we connect you with reference clients who've agreed to speak with prospects. We'd rather you hear directly from the people who've worked with us.

Large consultancies sell strategy and deliver reports. Iyara Labs builds and ships working systems.

• Delivery, not recommendations: Every engagement ends with a working system deployed to production. We do not produce white papers, feasibility studies, or AI roadmap decks.
• Speed: A typical large-firm AI engagement can run 4 to 6 months and cost hundreds of thousands of dollars before a single line of code is written. Our standard timeline is 3 weeks from kick-off to production-ready deployment.
• Direct access: Large firms staff engagements with junior analysts supervised by partners who appear at the start and the end. At Iyara Labs, you have direct access to the engineers building your system throughout the engagement, with no account managers in between.

If you need a strategy report, we are not the right fit. If you need the thing built, we are.

Every system Iyara Labs delivers includes monitoring and a human escalation path. We design for failure modes from day one, not as an afterthought.

• Logging and monitoring: All AI outputs are logged. Anomalies trigger alerts before they become visible to customers or stakeholders.
• Human escalation thresholds: Every AI system has a defined confidence threshold below which it hands off to a person. No AI runs without a clear fallback to a human.
• Continuous improvement: Eclipse retainer clients receive regular reviews of edge cases and failure patterns. Systems improve with real-world use. The feedback loop is built in, not bolted on.

Unmonitored AI is the actual risk, which is why monitoring is non-negotiable in every system we deliver.

Yes. Iyara Labs works with businesses from 5 employees upward. The entry point for smaller organisations is a scoped starter project (a landing page, a rule-based chatbot, or a simple analytics dashboard) scoped, built, and handed over as a one-time project.

Most of our longer-term clients started with a single starter project. Once the first system is running in production and the impact is visible, the next opportunity becomes obvious. The only requirement is that you are ready to act, not just explore.
