WideBot, founded in 2016 by Mohamed Nabil (CEO), Mohamed Mostafa and Saif Ahmed and now operating from Riyadh after Egyptian roots, is described as MENA's leading Arabic-first AI-as-a-Service platform for governments and enterprises. Its offering spans conversational AI and chatbots, AI agents for business processes, and AQL, a proprietary large language model positioned as one of the most accurate Arabic LLMs, alongside text-to-speech, speech-to-text, sentiment analysis, OCR document processing and entity extraction. WideBot serves more than 80 million end users and 300+ enterprises across 40+ countries in telecom, finance, healthcare and government, and is a Meta Business Partner and NVIDIA Inception Partner. In March 2025 WideBot raised a $3M pre-Series A round to develop its Arabic LLM 'AQL Mind,' co-led by Enza Capital and Keheilan Asset Management II (backed by Saudi investor Wafra), with participation from DisrupTech Ventures, Den VC and SparkLabs.
