MindLab launches Qirnas, an Arabic-first AI assistant

Building AI from Saudi Arabia, with Arabic, organizational control, and enterprise needs at the center.

MindLab is a Saudi AI company building models, platforms, and products with a focus on Arabic-first AI and enterprise needs.

The company brings together an AI assistant, a developer platform, and enterprise products under one technology company, beginning with Qirnas, the MindLab API Platform, and JWava.

Building from Saudi Arabia

MindLab was created around a simple premise: AI technology should be built with the needs and context of the markets it serves in mind.

For Saudi Arabia, that means developing technology from within the Kingdom while giving organizations greater control over where their data and systems operate.

MindLab's approach is centered around three areas:

Portable by design

Designing for deployment where your data must live — in-country cloud or on-premises — with portability and organizational control in mind.

Arabic-first AI

Building AI experiences around Arabic, including Fus'ha and the dialects people actually speak.

Government and enterprise

Developing technology with the security and procurement requirements of serious organizations in mind.
