Inception’s presence at GITEX this year focused on bringing enterprise-ready AI solutions to life. Could you walk us through the key innovations being showcased and what makes them stand out in the regional AI landscape?

At GITEX Global 2025, under the theme ‘Authentic Intelligence. Real Impact.’, we showcased our suite of domain-specific and sector-agnostic AI products that are transforming how organizations operate and make decisions. This included (In)Sight, (In)Alpha, (In)Procurement, (In)Business Human Capital, (In)Business Productivity, (In)Business Process, (In)Business Customer Experience, and (In)Media, with a selection of them being demonstrated. These products showed how Inception is helping governments and organizations accelerate transformation, improve efficiency, and generate measurable progress across sectors.

We are also announced a series of strategic partnerships to strengthen our capabilities and global reach and reflect Inception’s commitment to bringing authentic intelligence to life, driving enterprise transformation, and contributing to the UAE’s vision of becoming an AI-native nation.

What distinguishes these innovations in the regional AI landscape is their enterprise readiness and practical impact. Each product has been designed to integrate seamlessly into real operational environments, enabling businesses and government entities to automate complex processes, enhance decision-making, and drive value creation responsibly and transparently. Our focus is on delivering AI that is explainable, compliant, and aligned with national priorities for sustainable digital transformation.

Our presence and partnerships reflect Inception’s commitment to bringing authentic intelligence to life, driving enterprise transformation, and contributing to the UAE’s vision of becoming an AI-native nation.

Inception has evolved rapidly from an AI research hub to a product-first company. Can you give us an overview of your current AI-native products and how they are enabling organizations to automate complex workflows and make smarter decisions?

Inception’s transition from a research-driven institute to a product-first company reflects a clear focus on building practical, enterprise-ready AI that delivers measurable outcomes. Our current portfolio of AI-native products is designed to address specific business and leadership challenges while enabling enterprises to automate complex workflows, generate real-time insights, and make data-driven decisions with confidence.

Our suite of products spans multiple layers of enterprise operations:

• (In)Sight: An AI-powered product for top executives that transforms leadership collaboration by automating meeting workflows, surfacing real-time insights, and integrating seamlessly with Microsoft 365 to drive faster, more confident decision-making.
• (In)Genius: A sophisticated AI-powered insight generation and analysis system designed for automated business strategy research, validation, and reporting
• (In)Alpha: An AI-driven intelligence product that uncovers hidden patterns and insights from vast volumes of unstructured data, enabling more informed investment decisions while reducing biases
• (In)Procurement: An AI-powered platform that transforms supplier discovery, contract management, and sourcing processes with automated workflows and built-in regulatory checks that guarantee 100% compliance
• (In)Media: A next-generation AI media intelligence platform that detects, analyzes, and responds to harmful or misleading narratives in real time.
• (In)Business Process: A no-code AI automation platform that lets enterprises design, deploy, and orchestrate intelligent agents to streamline complex workflows, integrate with existing systems, and ensure secure, scalable process optimization
• (In)Business Productivity: A no-code platform designed to transform the way employees handle daily tasks by integrating speed, intelligence, and automation through a suite of prebuilt, AI-powered workflows that simplify and accelerate work processes
• (In)Business Customer Experience: An AI-powered platform that helps businesses deliver faster, more personalized support across chat, voice, avatar, and web channels through virtual agents and intelligent tools that empower human agents.

Each of these products represent a step toward operationalizing AI across every level of the enterprise. They embody Inception’s mission to leverage authentic intelligence to bring about real impact by enhancing quality decision, operational efficiency, and organizational agility.

Agentic AI is becoming a major theme in enterprise transformation. How does Inception define agentic AI, and what makes it different from traditional chatbots or rule-based systems?

Traditional chatbots or rule-based systems handle tasks by following instructions. They don’t have the ability to interpret, adapt, or anticipate. Instead, they rely on pre-programmed scripts to respond to isolated inputs. Agentic AI, on the other hand, solves problems. It doesn’t wait to be told what to do; it interprets intent, maintains memory across interactions, adjusts to dynamic input, and collaborates with other agents and humans to reach outcomes. It’s essentially an assistant that doesn’t just follow commands but proactively navigates the complexities of enterprise operations.

At Inception, we have a range of products that deploy Agentic AI across different business functions within an organization. (In)Procurement does more than automate contract workflows. It identifies high-performing, sustainable suppliers, accelerates sourcing-to-award cycles, ensures compliance, and drives measurable savings. Our (In)Business Productivity and (In)Business Process products empower teams to deploy no-code AI agents that coordinate workflows, surface knowledge, and make intelligent decisions often faster, more accurately, and at greater scale than human-led systems.

How do you see the adoption of technologies like Agentic AI, sovereign cloud, and domain-specific models influencing the UAE’s innovation and competitiveness over the next few years?

The UAE is entering a new phase of digital maturity where AI is no longer a supporting tool but a national capability. The convergence of Agentic AI, sovereign cloud infrastructure, and domain-specific models is accelerating that transition, creating a foundation for innovation that is secure, scalable, and deeply contextual.

Agentic AI brings autonomy and adaptability to enterprise systems, enabling them to learn and act with minimal intervention. When these systems are deployed within sovereign cloud environments, they operate with trusted national infrastructure that ensures data privacy, compliance, and resilience. Domain-specific models then take this one step further by embedding specialized knowledge that reflects the realities of that respective domain.

By combining Agentic AI capabilities with sovereign infrastructure and purpose-built models, the UAE is demonstrating how nations can build sustainable digital ecosystems that enhance competitiveness, drive productivity, and unlock new opportunities for growth. Inception’s mission is to ensure that this intelligence is not abstract but actionable, bridging the gap between research and real-world impact.
