An AI Consultant for Businesses in Dubai and the Gulf

I am David Geha, an independent AI consultant based in Beirut, and I take on projects with businesses in Dubai, the rest of the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman. I find the work your team repeats every day and build AI systems that take it over, in accounts you own, after a 48-hour audit that gives you a fixed price before anything is built.

A 48-hour audit

Yes. The work is the same wherever your office is: understand which jobs your team repeats, decide which of them software should take over, and build that software where you control it. Everything I build runs in your own Supabase and Vercel accounts, with the code in your GitHub and no licence, so nothing depends on where I sit.

The time difference is small. Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Muscat are two hours ahead of Beirut in winter and one hour ahead in summer; Riyadh, Doha, Kuwait City and Manama are one hour ahead in winter and on the same time in summer. A working day in Beirut covers most of a working day in the Gulf.

I work in English, Arabic and French, so the people who do the work can explain it in the language they use every day, and the systems can read and write the messages your customers actually send.

What I build

AI systems I build for businesses in the UAE and the Gulf

The same six systems I build in Lebanon. Each one takes over a job someone on your team does by hand today and leaves the decisions to a person.

AI email agent

Scoped in the auditTeams that run on email

It lives in your company's email: it reviews the reports that come in, generates the reports management reads, and prepares and sends invoices. Anything unusual waits for a person.

How it works →

A custom CRM with AI agent employees

2 × 2-week sprintsAgencies, founders, service businesses

A CRM built around how your team sells and delivers, with AI agents working inside it like members of staff. Your team sees every action they take.

How it works →

AI outreach systems

2-week sprintMarketing agencies, founders

Leads sourced against your ideal-customer profile, researched one by one, sent a personalised first email from your domain, with every reply logged in your CRM.

How it works →

AI receptionist for hotels

Scoped in the auditHotels

It answers your hotel's phone calls and responds to guests' questions, and passes anything that needs the team to them.

How it works →

AI for SEO and GEO

Scoped in the auditAny business that sells online

Being found on Google and recommended by ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Claude when buyers ask for a business like yours.

How it works →

Custom AI that builds high-end websites

Scoped in the auditBrands that need a site that stands out

The same custom AI I used to build this site, put to work on yours.

How it works →

With an independent consultant, the person who maps your work is the person who builds the system and hands it to your team. Nothing is lost between a sales team, a project manager and developers you never meet, and the project stays the size of the problem it solves.

An agency suits you better if you need many systems across departments at once, enterprise compliance work or a team on call around the clock. The guide to AI consulting firms explains where each kind of provider fits; it is written for Lebanon, but the trade-offs are the same in the Gulf. For a hotel, an agency or a small team, one person who audits and builds keeps the price within reach.

More about who I am and how I work is on the about page, and the AI consulting page covers the audit in detail.

Engagement

How a project with a business in the Gulf works

Every project starts with the 48-hour audit. It ranks your repeated tasks by payback and comes back with a fixed price for the first build, so you know the number before anything is built. There is no price list and no licence.

  1. 01

    The audit

    Two working days with the people who do the repeated work, ranking each task by payback and pricing the first system.

  2. 02

    The build, in your accounts

    A fixed-price two-week sprint, or 2 × 2-week sprints for a CRM with agent employees, in your own Supabase, Vercel and GitHub from the first day.

  3. 03

    Handover

    Logs, a dashboard and a handover session for the people who will use it. The system is measured by the hours it gives back.

Do you work with companies in Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Kuwait, or only in the UAE?

Across the Gulf: the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman. The audit, the build and the handover work the same way for each, and the systems run in your own accounts.

What time zone do you work in?

Beirut time. Dubai is two hours ahead of Beirut in winter and one hour ahead in summer; Riyadh, Doha and Kuwait City are one hour ahead in winter and on the same time in summer, so most of the working day overlaps.

Can the systems work in Arabic?

Yes. I work in English, Arabic and French, and the systems are built to read and write the language your team and your customers use.

Who owns the system once it is built?

You do. It is deployed in your own Supabase and Vercel accounts, the code is in your GitHub, and there is no licence. If we stop working together, it keeps running.

How much does it cost?

There is no price list. The 48-hour audit comes back with a fixed price for the first build, so you know the number before anything is built, and you can stop after the audit.
