The Arabic data engine · MENA

Arabic data annotation,
done right.

Arabic AI data and evaluation, verified dialect by dialect. We don't build models, so we never compete with yours: dialect-aware Arabic data labeling, RLHF and independent LLM and agent evaluation, produced by vetted native experts across the Middle East.

The data engine

One engine. The full data lifecycle.

Everything your model needs from its data — and nothing it doesn't. We go all the way down on data, so you never hand the hardest part to a do-everything shop.

01 · Source

Source

The dialectal, domain-specific data that doesn't exist yet — field collection, licensed corpora, and controlled synthetic generation.

02 · Annotate

Annotate

Native speakers label text, audio, image and video across 25+ Arabic varieties — to gold-standard rubrics, not guesswork.

03 · Align

Align

Human feedback, preference ranking and rewriting that teach a model what a good, natural, culturally-right Arabic answer sounds like.

04 · Evaluate

Evaluate

Independent benchmarks for dialect comprehension, cultural fit, factuality and safety — so you know what's good before you ship.

Arabic language expertise

Native expertise.
Regional understanding.

We work with native linguists and domain experts across the region — capturing the richness, nuance and diversity of spoken Arabic, dialect by dialect.

Why a specialist

We do one thing.
The hardest thing.

Frontier-quality Arabic data isn't a feature you bolt onto a platform — it's a craft. We're not a generalist crowd, and we're not a do-everything AI shop trying to sell you a model. We're a focused human-data engine, and that focus is the entire advantage.

Arabic AI data and evaluation,
verified dialect by dialect.

“Arabic” is not one test set. A model that looks fine on an average score can fold Gulf, Levantine, Iraqi and Maghrebi Arabic into one variety. We measure what matters for your users, and we have no model of our own to promote.

01

No model in the race

We do data only: sourcing, annotation, human feedback and evaluation. We're model-agnostic, and we never compete with the models we help you build or choose.

02

Verified dialect by dialect

Contributors pass dialect and domain screening before they touch your data. Work is calibrated against gold standards, adjudicated and audited, the same discipline behind our per-dialect research.

03

Proof in public

LabelBench shows a model at 78% on binary Arabic toxicity falling to 22.4% on five dialect regions, where chance is 20%. Our methods and results are published for you to check.

Trust & sovereignty

Sovereign
by default.

Your data never leaves the region, with on-prem and private-cloud options when mission-critical work demands them.

Security and data handling →

Data residency

In-region hosting by default. Your data stays where your regulators expect it.

Access control

Least-privilege access, audit logs, and vetted contributors under NDA.

The network

The people behind the data.

Not an anonymous crowd. A vetted network of native speakers, linguists and licensed professionals — matched to your task by dialect and domain, calibrated against gold standards, and accountable for every label.

Screened, not scraped. Every contributor passes dialect and domain tests before they touch your data.
Domain-licensed. Doctors, lawyers and bankers judge the work where being wrong is not an option.
All four modalities. Text, audio, image and video — one accountable team, one quality bar.

Flagship research · Methods beta

A fluent answer is not a completed transaction.

We built a local crash-test lab that checks what Arabic agents actually did—tool by tool, state by state—and publishes an evidence receipt for every result.
