✦ About Us

Built for the
UAE business owner

WaAI was born from a simple frustration — great businesses losing customers because no one replied to WhatsApp on time.

Our Story

In 2023, our founder visited a salon in Dubai Marina and watched the owner manually reply to dozens of WhatsApp booking requests between cuts — often missing them entirely. The solution seemed obvious: automate it, without changing the number customers already knew.

WaAI launched in early 2024 with one salon. Within six months, over 400 UAE businesses were running on it. Today, WaAI handles bookings, orders, FAQs and cancellations for 1,200+ businesses across the UAE — in Arabic, English, Urdu, Hindi, and 10+ other languages.

Our Mission

To give every UAE business — from a single-chair barbershop in Sharjah to a multi-branch salon chain in Dubai — the same AI-powered customer service capabilities that were previously only available to large enterprises.

No coding. No new number. No training. Just scan a QR code and your existing WhatsApp number becomes a 24/7 AI assistant.
