Bilingual Arabic-English assistant that answers employee HR and policy questions for large employers

Overview

Problem

HR teams at large Gulf employers answer the same questions thousands of times a month: leave balances, end-of-service gratuity, housing allowance rules, exit and re-entry visa steps. Policies exist in Arabic and English versions that drift apart, and frontline staff often ask in Gulf dialect late at night from their phones. One 9,000-person employer we work with logged 14,000 HR tickets a month, 70% of them repeat questions.

Solution

Mizan Desk reads the employer's policy manuals, grade tables and HR system records, then answers in the language and dialect the employee used, citing the exact policy clause. It calculates personal figures such as gratuity or remaining leave from the employee's own record, and hands off to a named HR officer when a question involves discretion or a complaint. It also flags where the Arabic and English policy versions disagree.

Target market

HR and shared-services leaders at employers with 2,000+ staff in Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Qatar, around 1,800 organisations covering more than 9 million employees.

Business model

Annual licence priced per employee per month (US$0.90–US$1.60 depending on volume), plus a one-off setup fee for policy ingestion and HR system integration.

    Impressive dialect handling, thin integration list

    We rolled it out to shift workers at two of our plants in the Eastern Province. It handled a Najdi question about gratuity with unpaid leave correctly, which our previous tool could not. But only two HR systems are supported out of the box, and our setup took nine weeks. Until that shrinks, it suits employers with patient IT teams.

    Reply from Noura Al-Shehri, CEO

    Two more HR system connectors are in testing, and the new policy import has brought setup to about five weeks for standard deployments.

    Our drivers finally get answers outside office hours

    Most of our drivers and warehouse staff ask about leave and overtime after their shift, when HR is closed. Mizan answers them in their own dialect and shows the clause, which cut our HR ticket queue by more than half in two months. The handoff to a named officer for disputes means nothing important gets lost.

    Reply from Noura Al-Shehri, CEO

    Thank you, Tomás. Shift workers were the reason we built the late-night handoff queue, so this is good to hear.

    Arabic dialects with citations fill a real gap

    HR assistants are crowded in English, but Arabic dialect support with policy citations is a genuine gap in the Gulf. Noura and Turki have sold to large employers before and know how long procurement takes here. Seven customers is a small base, and the setup fee and integration weeks must shrink before the sales motion can scale.
