AI Chatbot Development Company in UAE
Expert software development services in Dubai, UAE — delivered by Proud Lion Studios. Trusted by startups and enterprises across the Middle East and globally.
AI chatbots that actually help your customers
Proud Lion Studios builds AI chatbots for businesses in Dubai and across the UAE. Our chatbots understand what customers mean rather than matching keywords, answer from your own website, price lists and policies, and speak English and Arabic. When a question needs a person, the chatbot hands the conversation to your team with the full history, so nobody has to repeat themselves.
We build chatbots for WhatsApp, your website, Instagram and internal tools. Every project starts with your real customer conversations, so the chatbot handles the questions your team answers every day, and it is tested on those conversations before it goes live.
Chatbots we build for UAE businesses
WhatsApp chatbots
Most customers in the UAE prefer to message a business on WhatsApp. We connect your chatbot to the official WhatsApp Business API so it can answer questions, send prices and brochures, take bookings and follow up, with approved message templates and proper opt-in.
Website chatbots
A chat widget trained on your website and documents that answers visitors instantly, captures their details and books a call with your sales team while they are still interested.
Customer support chatbots
Chatbots that resolve common order, booking, delivery and account questions around the clock, and open a ticket in your help desk when a person needs to step in.
Arabic and bilingual chatbots
Customers in the Gulf often switch between Arabic and English in the same conversation. We build chatbots that understand both, reply in the customer's language and use the right tone for your brand.
Lead qualification chatbots
The chatbot asks your qualifying questions, such as budget, timeline and location, scores the lead and sends it straight into HubSpot, Zoho, Salesforce or your own CRM.
Internal help desk chatbots
Give staff one place to ask about HR policies, IT issues and internal processes, with answers that link to the source document.
Chatbot or AI agent?
A chatbot holds a conversation and answers questions. An AI agent can also take actions in your systems, such as confirming a booking, updating a customer record or issuing a refund. Many of our clients start with a chatbot on one channel and, once it is working well, extend it into a full AI agent that completes tasks from start to finish.
Conversational AI we run ourselves
We do not only build chatbots for clients. Our own Pride AI Estimator is a conversational assistant that gives instant cost and timeline estimates for app, game and blockchain projects, and Leomen AI Studio uses an interviewing chat assistant to turn a short brief into a full video plan. Running these in production is where we learned how to keep answers accurate and conversations short.
How we build your chatbot
We review a sample of your real enquiries and pick the questions the chatbot should handle first.
We connect your content, such as your website, FAQs, price lists and policies, using retrieval so answers come from your own information.
We set guardrails: what the chatbot may and may not say, and exactly when it hands over to your team.
We test it on real past conversations in English and Arabic and fix weak answers before launch.
We launch on one channel, review conversations every week and then add channels and skills.
Our rates in Dubai
We charge between USD 30 and 45 per hour, which is about AED 110 to 165, depending on the work involved and the seniority of the team. A website chatbot typically takes 2 to 4 weeks, and a WhatsApp and web chatbot with CRM integration 4 to 8 weeks. After a short discovery call we give you a fixed quote with a clear timeline. For a quick first estimate, try the Pride AI Estimator.
