AI agents and automation in Dubai
Dubai teams need a WhatsApp agent that answers in Arabic and English in the same conversation, because customers switch between them. It books, qualifies leads, or follows up on a Tabby order, then stops at the edge of its job. These chats fall under the UAE PDPL, and logs should stay in a UAE hosting region where possible. A public chat window on the website is not an operations agent; the real work happens inside the inbox, CRM, or store your team already uses.

What data should the agent be allowed to read?
Only what the business already has: payment status from the payment gateway and shipment tracking from the delivery company, so it never makes up an order update. It should not see full card numbers. Conversation logs need the same care as the app itself. Suggested hosting: AWS UAE (me-central-1) or Azure UAE North.
