Iyara Labs offers four services for businesses in the UAE, the US, and India.
- Websites & Landing Pages: Brand sites and e-commerce storefronts built with GEO-ready architecture to rank on Google and get cited by ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude.
- Conversational AI: Chatbots, WhatsApp commerce bots, and voice agents in Arabic, English, Hindi, and Tagalog via the official WhatsApp Business API.
- Data Analytics & Dashboards: Custom dashboards connecting your ad platforms, CRMs, and commerce tools into one automated view.
- AI Consulting & Implementation: An operations audit, a ranked shortlist of opportunities with impact estimates, hands-on rollout, and team training.
Every service runs on either a Launch (one-time build you own) or Eclipse (ongoing monthly retainer) tier.
Iyara Labs has active clients across real estate, logistics, retail, fintech, healthcare, and B2B SaaS, across the UAE, US, and India.
- Real estate, logistics, and marketing agencies: Active across Dubai and Abu Dhabi in the UAE and GCC.
- Retail, e-commerce, fintech, and design: Client work across Kochi and Delhi in India.
- B2B SaaS, AI companies, and HIPAA-compliant healthcare: Operating across the United States.
- SOC 2 controls and GDPR principles: Built-in compliance; deployable entirely on your own infrastructure.
If your industry isn't listed, book a call. If you have repetitive manual work slowing things down, we can help.
AI automation replaces repetitive manual tasks with software that runs continuously. No person needed at every step.
- Over 90% reduction in order processing time: An AI bot handles WhatsApp orders for a UAE-based sales team with no manual steps.
- Over 40% more efficient invoice reconciliation: AI data analytics tools handle more shipments with the same headcount for a UAE shipping company.
- 10,000 forms per year at 99.6% accuracy: An AI pipeline processes healthcare intake forms with zero manual intervention.
AI is ready. The only question is which parts of your operation still depend on a person doing what software could handle.
Iyara Labs has offices in Dubai (UAE), San Francisco (US), and Kochi (India). Local teams in each market, not satellite offices.
- Dubai, UAE: Active across Dubai and Abu Dhabi; available for in-person meetings.
- San Francisco, US: Operating across both coasts; founders have worked with businesses in New York and San Francisco.
- Kochi, India: Based in Kerala, with client work across Delhi and the subcontinent.
Yes. Clients in the EU, the UK, and elsewhere are welcome. Offices in Dubai, San Francisco, and Kochi cover most global time zones, and we're flexible for everywhere else.
Nothing formal. No brief, no spec, no budget figure. Come with a problem or a frustration; we ask the questions, and by the end of the call you'll know exactly what's worth building.
Most engagements begin within 10 business days of the first conversation. There's no extended sales cycle. Discovery, scoping, and proposal move fast because we've built enough systems across enough industries to know exactly what we're doing.
Both. We don't separate them because consulting alone ends in a slide deck and building without consulting solves the wrong problem.
- Operations audit: Maps where time is lost, which processes are automatable, and what each opportunity is worth.
- Ranked shortlist: A prioritised list of AI opportunities with impact estimates and build costs.
- Production delivery: Before the engagement ends, one working automation ships to production, not a prototype.
- No lock-in: Stop after Launch or continue on Eclipse retainer; most clients keep going.
Other consultants stop at the recommendation. We build the thing.
Pricing is always custom, tied to your exact specifications. No rate card because no two problems are identical. Before work begins, you get a clear cost breakdown against specific deliverables; the number doesn't move unless scope does.
Yes. The first call is complimentary with no obligation. Come with a problem or a slow process; we'll tell you honestly whether we're a fit, and if we're not, we'll say so.
Yes. All build engagements are priced upfront against a defined scope, before work begins. Scope changes at your request get a revised quote before we proceed; no open-ended arrangements, no invoices that grow without warning.
Yes. Eclipse is a flat monthly fee covering performance monitoring, continuous improvement, and new builds. Launch handles the one-time build; Eclipse handles everything after.
Launch is a one-time build: we scope, build, and hand over. You own the code and infrastructure outright. Eclipse is a monthly retainer covering ongoing monitoring, continuous improvement, and new feature development; most clients start on Launch then move to Eclipse once they see results.
Every service runs on two tiers: Launch (one-time build) and Eclipse (ongoing retainer).
- Websites & Landing Pages: Launch delivers a GEO/SEO-ready site with CMS and mobile. Eclipse adds A/B testing, Core Web Vitals, and new page builds.
- Conversational AI: Launch deploys a chatbot or WhatsApp bot with your brand voice and integrations. Eclipse adds monitoring, fine-tuning, and new intents.
- Data Analytics & Dashboards: Launch connects a live dashboard with automated reporting. Eclipse adds new data sources and anomaly alerts.
- AI Consulting & Implementation: Launch covers the audit, ranked shortlist, and one working automation shipped. Eclipse adds ongoing builds, training, and quarterly reviews.
Yes, and that's the most common path. Launch gets a working system into production fast so you see real results before committing to a retainer. No lock-in, no penalty for starting small.
From kick-off to delivery, most builds complete in 2 to 3 weeks. Complex integrations or advanced AI workflows can run to 4 weeks. Comparable agencies typically spend 4 to 6 months on work we finish in under a month.
Every engagement moves through five clear stages, each with a defined output and a sign-off point.
- Discovery: We align on the problem and agree on what's worth building.
- Scoping & proposal: A clear brief, fixed cost, and timeline before any work begins.
- Build & feedback: Working software for your review from sprint 1; most clients bring teams in early.
- Deployment & handover: Live system with everything you need to own it.
- Ongoing improvement: Eclipse retainer for clients who want continuous progress after launch.
Most clients check in weekly; some prefer daily. We match whatever rhythm works for your team.
Always. Working software ships for your review from the very first sprint, and we encourage clients to bring their teams into testing from day one. No surprises at launch.
A 30-day support window at no extra cost comes standard with every delivery. After that, most clients move to an Eclipse retainer. AI systems improve with real-world use, so the value compounds.
Any language. Websites, apps, and conversational AI all support Arabic, Spanish, French, Hindi, and more via LLM-based translation with high accuracy.
- Single or full multi-language support: Build for one language or several from day one; the architecture handles both.
- English, Hindi, and Malayalam: Native client communication languages within our team.
- Any other language: We bring in the right language support for every project, regardless of market.
Iyara Labs is model-agnostic. OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, Mistral, and open-source models are all on the table, chosen by what fits the problem.
- OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, Mistral, and open-source: Every major language model is available; selection is driven by the use case, not preference.
- AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, or your existing stack: No locked-in infrastructure vendor.
- No vendor relationships: We pick what works, not what pays us.
Yes. Integration with your existing stack is always the first option we evaluate, not a fallback.
- HubSpot, Shopify, Mixpanel, Stripe: And most standard REST APIs; no rip-and-replace required.
- Official Meta Business API: WhatsApp bots run on the stable, compliant channel, not at risk of shutdown.
- EHR systems, billing platforms, and ad platforms: Including compliance-sensitive integrations for healthcare and finance.
- Custom builds: Only when off-the-shelf would constrain your business, and we explain exactly why before building.
No. Existing platforms, APIs, and tools are always the first option. Custom builds happen only when an off-the-shelf solution would force your business to work around its limitations, not yours, and that trade-off is always explained before we start.
Data security is a baseline requirement. All solutions are built to SOC 2 controls and GDPR principles.
- On-premises or your own cloud: Sensitive data stays fully under your control; no forced third-party storage.
- HIPAA-compliant delivery: Proven for US healthcare clients where data confidentiality requirements are strict.
- Non-negotiable confidentiality: Built for finance and government clients within your existing data governance framework.
Yes. An NDA is signed before any meaningful discovery work begins, and every engagement runs under a formal contract with clear deliverables, payment terms, and IP ownership provisions. You own everything we build.
Iyara Labs works with startups, SMBs, and enterprise organisations, typically 5 to 5,000 employees, from funded startups to publicly listed companies. What they share is that they're ready to act, not just explore. If you want a pilot that stays a pilot, we're not the right fit.
That's what the first call is for. Come with a problem or just a frustration, and we'll turn it into a plan you can actually act on. Most of our best work started exactly like that.
Yes. For qualified engagements, we connect you with reference clients who've agreed to speak with prospects. We'd rather you hear directly from the people who've worked with us.
Some questions are better asked directly.
