Wittify.ai, a Riyadh-based startup developing an Arabic-first conversational AI platform, has raised $1.5 million in a pre-seed funding round.
The investment, backed by a syndicate of Saudi angel investors and business leaders, reflects growing confidence in the company’s mission to redefine how businesses across the Arab world engage with customers using AI.
Launched in early 2025, Wittify.ai is building a no-code platform that allows companies to deploy AI-powered agents across voice, text, and multichannel interfaces.
These agents are capable of handling over 25 Arabic dialects using native Arabic speech technologies—a key differentiator in a region where global AI platforms often fall short.
Wittify.ai: Scaling Arabic-First Intelligence
Still in closed beta, the platform integrates with CRMs, websites, call centers, and social media channels, allowing organizations to automate and personalize their customer interactions.
The startup’s early traction has been supported by three prominent accelerator programs: inspireU by stc, Misk Entrepreneurship x Plug and Play, and TikTok x Blossom Accelerator.
These partnerships are expected to accelerate Wittify’s expansion across the MENA and GCC markets, where demand for Arabic-native AI tools is growing rapidly.
According to the company, the fresh capital will go toward finalizing product development, launching the beta publicly, and ramping up go-to-market activities. The team also plans to grow across engineering, product, and operations to meet rising demand.
In a statement, Wittify said: “We’re building Arabic-first, human-level AI to transform customer engagement.”
As the AI race heats up globally, Wittify’s hyper-local focus could offer a critical advantage, bringing culturally fluent, linguistically sophisticated AI to a region ready for digital transformation at scale.
