Wittify.ai Secures $1.5M Pre-Seed to Lead Arabic Conversational AI Innovation
by Saudi Arabia’s Wittify.ai, a rising player in the conversational AI space, has successfully closed a $1.5 million pre-seed funding round. The investment was led by a syndicate of prominent Saudi angel investors, reinforcing strong regional support for homegrown AI innovation.
Founded in early 2025 by Nader El-Batrawi and Sarah AlHumoud, Wittify.ai is on a mission to revolutionize customer engagement in Arabic-speaking markets. The startup has built a no-code platform that allows businesses to create AI-powered voice, chat, and omnichannel assistants—supporting over 25 Arabic dialects. With seamless integration across websites, social platforms, CRMs, and call centers, Wittify offers a plug-and-play solution powered by native Arabic speech technology.
The newly raised capital will help Wittify.ai accelerate its product development, grow its engineering and product teams, and strengthen its go-to-market strategy across the MENA and GCC regions.
Currently in closed beta, the platform enables businesses to build intelligent Arabic-first AI agents capable of handling text, voice, and multichannel communication. This makes Wittify one of the few startups globally prioritizing Arabic natural language understanding at scale.
Wittify’s rapid progress has been supported by three influential accelerator programs: inspireU by stc, Misk x Plug and Play, and TikTok x Blossom Accelerator. These partnerships have provided strategic guidance and opened doors to broader regional opportunities.
“We’re building Arabic-first, human-level AI to transform customer engagement,” said the founders in a statement.
As demand for localized AI solutions grows, Wittify.ai is positioning itself as a key player in shaping the future of intelligent Arabic-language communication.
