What is an AI app?
An AI app uses artificial intelligence models to do something a normal app can't: understand a question in Arabic or English and answer it, read what is in a photo or a document, or learn what each user likes and suggest the right product or content.
At MetaGate we build AI into practical apps for businesses: we connect proven AI models to your own content and data, design a simple interface around them, and add the control panel, limits and privacy settings you need to run it safely. We start with a free consultation with a business development expert to agree on what the AI should do and how to measure it.
AI can also be part of another app type, such as recommendations inside an e-commerce store app.
Who it's for
What AI can do in your app
- 01
Arabic and English chat assistants
An in-app assistant that answers customers' questions from your own content, such as products, services, policies and FAQs, in Arabic and English, and hands over to your team when needed.
- 02
Image and document analysis
Recognize what is in a photo, or read text from IDs, invoices and forms (OCR) and turn it into data, so users don't type it by hand.
- 03
Recommendations and personalization
Suggest products, services or content based on each user's behavior and history, so the app feels personal and customers find what they want faster.
- 04
AI inside an existing business idea
Add one of these capabilities to a store, booking or marketplace app to make it faster or more helpful for your customers.

Questions about this app type
Clear answers about app design and development with MetaGate
How much does an AI app cost in the UAE?
At MetaGate, AI apps start from AED 40,000. The price depends on the AI capability you need, such as a chat assistant, image or document analysis, or recommendations, the amount of content or data to prepare, and the platforms. Ongoing AI model usage costs depend on how much the app is used, and we estimate them with you before launch. The exact price is set after a free consultation.
Can the AI assistant answer in Arabic?
Yes. We build assistants that understand and answer in Arabic and English, using your own content, such as products, services and policies, so the answers match your business.
How do you stop the AI from giving wrong answers?
We ground the assistant in your approved content, set clear limits on the topics it may answer, test it with real questions before launch, and add a hand-over to your team when it is not sure. You can review conversations from the control panel and update the content at any time.
Can you add AI to my existing app?
Often yes. If you own the source code of your app, we can review it and add an AI feature such as a chat assistant or recommendations. We confirm what is possible after reviewing the app in a free consultation.
How long does it take to build an AI app?
An AI app usually takes 2 to 4 months, depending on the AI capability, the content or data to prepare and the number of platforms. The time includes testing the quality of the AI results before launch.
Is my data safe in an AI app?
We design AI apps with privacy settings for user data and uploaded files, send the AI model only what it needs, and agree with you on where data is stored. You own the source code, and the app's data belongs to you.
