AI Engineering Services in Qatar

When evaluating AI companies in Qatar, look for: 1) Real AI portfolio - not just general software, actual ML models and AI systems, 2) Data engineering capability - AI fails without proper data work, 3) Production experience - demo AI is easy, production AI is hard, 4) Arabic NLP experience if you need it, 5) MLOps practices - AI needs ongoing maintenance. SoftZena has delivered 30+ AI projects across oil & gas, healthcare, retail, and banking in Qatar.

AI development costs depend on complexity. Simple integrations (ChatGPT, basic chatbots) cost QAR 55,000-110,000 ($15,000-$30,000). Custom ML models cost QAR 180,000-365,000 ($50,000-$100,000). Enterprise AI systems cost QAR 365,000-730,000+ ($100,000-$200,000+). We recommend starting with a proof of concept (QAR 36,500-73,000 / $10,000-$20,000) to validate before major investment.

Yes, ChatGPT/LLM integration is one of our most requested services. We can: build AI chatbots for customer service (Arabic and English), create document processing pipelines using GPT-4, build internal knowledge assistants trained on your company data, automate content generation, and add AI features to existing applications. All done securely with your data protected.

Yes, Arabic NLP is a core capability. We build: Arabic chatbots that understand Gulf Arabic, sentiment analysis for Arabic social media, document processing for Arabic text, Arabic-English translation systems, and voice recognition for Arabic speech. Arabic AI is harder than English - many global AI tools fail with Arabic. We have specific Arabic models and expertise.

AI timelines depend on complexity. Simple integrations: 4-8 weeks. Custom ML models: 3-6 months (including data engineering). Enterprise AI systems: 6-12 months. We always recommend a proof of concept phase (2-4 weeks) to validate the approach before committing to full development.

We have AI experience across: Oil & gas (predictive maintenance, safety, production optimization), Healthcare (medical imaging, patient risk scoring), Retail (demand forecasting, recommendations), Banking (fraud detection, credit scoring), Construction (progress monitoring, safety), Logistics (route optimization, demand prediction), Government (document processing, citizen services).

Yes, AI consulting can be engaged separately or as part of development. Consulting includes: AI readiness assessment (is your data ready?), opportunity identification (where will AI create most value?), technology recommendation (which AI approach fits?), build vs buy analysis, and implementation roadmap. Consulting typically runs 2-4 weeks.

Yes, we see consistent ROI from AI: Customer service automation typically delivers 40-70% cost reduction. Document processing speeds up 10-20x. Demand forecasting reduces inventory costs 15-25%. Predictive maintenance reduces downtime 25-40%. We can estimate ROI for your specific use case during consultation.

Data security is built into every AI project. We offer: On-premise deployment for sensitive data (common in Qatar banking and healthcare), AWS Bahrain region for cloud deployment (data stays in region), encryption at rest and in transit, role-based access control, audit logging, and compliance with Qatar data protection requirements.

Yes, AI requires ongoing attention - models drift as data changes. Our AI maintenance packages start at QAR 11,000/month ($3,000/month) and include: model performance monitoring, periodic retraining when accuracy drops, infrastructure management, bug fixes, security updates, and monthly performance reports.
