We build chatbots on your website and WhatsApp that answer first questions, qualify enquiries, book meetings and hand every conversation to the right salesperson inside your CRM.
An AI chatbot connected to a CRM answers first questions on the website or WhatsApp in English and Arabic, asks qualifying questions such as emirate, product interest and timeline, checks for duplicate contacts, and creates an assigned lead with the full transcript. It can book meetings from salespeople's calendars or hand over to a live agent, including after hours.
An AI chatbot for CRM UAE sits at the very start of the sales cycle. Visitors land on your website from a Google ad at 11 pm, or message your WhatsApp number after seeing a post, and ask the same opening questions: do you deliver to Al Ain, what is the minimum order, do you have a showroom, can someone call me tomorrow. Without a bot those enquiries wait until morning, and some go to the competitor who answered first.
The bot answers from approved content (products, service areas, opening hours, FAQs), asks the qualifying questions your sales team would ask, such as company name, emirate, product interest, quantity and timeline, and then does something useful with the answers: creates or updates a lead in the CRM, assigns it by territory or product line, books a slot in the salesperson's calendar, or transfers the chat to a live agent during working hours. The salesperson starts the next morning with a qualified lead and the full transcript, not a missed call.
This page is about the customer-facing bot that feeds your CRM software. Once a lead is in the CRM, scoring, deal alerts and drafted follow-ups are covered under AI CRM. Bots that answer stock, order and invoice questions from the ERP are covered on AI chatbot for ERP.

Most UAE companies lose more leads at the first touch than in the pipeline itself.
Enquiries arriving on Friday evening or late at night wait until the next working morning. Buyers comparing three suppliers often go with whoever replied first.
Leads message a salesperson's personal number. When that person is busy, on leave or leaves the company, the lead and its history are lost.
A form with name, email and message gives sales nothing to prioritize. The first call is spent asking basic questions.
The same contact enters through the website, a portal and WhatsApp with different spellings and phone formats, creating three leads for one buyer.
Older button-only bots cannot handle a free-text question like "do you supply fire-rated doors for a villa project in Dubai Hills?" and push visitors away.
The bot handles the opening conversation; a salesperson owns the relationship from the moment a lead is created.
One shared database: every step updates stock, finance and reports in real time.
We combine a language model for understanding questions with fixed rules for what the bot is allowed to say and do.
Understands questions typed in natural English or Arabic and answers from your approved knowledge base, saying so when it does not know.
Asks the questions your sales team needs, such as emirate, company size, product interest, quantity and timeline, and stores them as CRM fields.
Matches the visitor to an existing contact by phone or email before creating a new lead, normalizing UAE phone formats.
Offers available slots from the assigned salesperson's calendar for a call, showroom visit or site survey.
Transfers to a person during working hours with the conversation so far, so the visitor does not repeat themselves.
Conversations from the website widget and the WhatsApp Business Platform land on the same CRM contact.

A public chatbot collects personal data from people who are not yet customers, so the basics must be right from day one.
Follow-up messages outside the customer service window need opt-in and approved message templates through the WhatsApp Business Platform. No bulk messaging to bought lists.
Let visitors know they are chatting with an automated assistant and offer a route to a person. It reduces complaints and sets expectations.
The bot must not invent prices, delivery dates or regulatory claims. Restrict answers to approved content and route pricing to the sales team.
General information, not tax or legal advice. Rules change; confirm current FTA, MOHRE and Ministry of Finance guidance with your advisor.
A tight first version, then improvements from real conversations.
Sales and marketing agree which questions define a qualified lead and how leads are assigned by emirate, product or size.
Write the answers the bot may give: products, service areas, opening hours, delivery coverage and common objections.
Map bot fields to CRM fields, set up duplicate checks, and connect salespeople's calendars. Our CRM integration team handles the API work.
Start on the website, review transcripts daily for the first weeks, and fix wrong or missing answers.
Extend to WhatsApp once opt-in and templates are approved, and review lead quality with the sales manager monthly.
Compare against the month before launch: response time, leads captured and lead quality.
Every visitor gets a first reply at any hour, and the lead is in the CRM by morning.
Salespeople start calls knowing the emirate, product interest and timeline.
Duplicate checks and structured fields replace free-text form messages.
WhatsApp conversations sit in the CRM, not on personal phones.
We configure the system for the rules UAE businesses report against, and test it before go-live.
General information, not tax or legal advice. Confirm current requirements with the FTA, MOHRE or your advisor. See all UAE compliance guides.
On-site workshops in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah, and remote or on-site delivery across the Northern Emirates and free zones.

The one your sales team already uses. If you are still choosing, our CRM solutions page compares the options; the bot can be added during CRM implementation.
We limit it to approved content and set it to hand over or say it does not know when a question is outside scope. Transcripts are reviewed during the first weeks.
Yes, current models handle both and switch with the visitor. We test common mixed-language phrasing before launch.
A CRM-connected bot needs the WhatsApp Business Platform (API) through a provider. The phone app cannot be connected to a bot and CRM in the same way.
The sales team takes over. AI inside the CRM can then help with scoring and follow-ups, described on our AI CRM page.
