Velents.ai, a fast-growing startup focused on enterprise artificial intelligence, has announced the launch of Agent.sa, the first fully integrated Arabic-speaking AI employee designed to operate within companies and institutions just like a human team member. The launch coincides with the closing of a $1.5 million funding round, marking a strategic milestone in the company’s mission to build Arabic-native technologies that serve organizations in their own language and dialects, without relying on foreign models.
AI-powered digital solutions
The round was backed by individual investors holding leadership roles at Google, BCG, and other global firms. Velents is preparing to open a new round of funding, aiming to close it by early 2026.
Founded by entrepreneurs Mohamed Gaber and Abdulaziz Almuhaydib, Velents is powered by a joint Egyptian-Saudi team. The company rebranded in 2023 after initially focusing on recruitment, and now offers AI-powered digital solutions that help organizations attract ambitious talent. Its client base spans private companies, universities, and government ministries in Egypt and Saudi Arabia. Recent growth has been fueled by the deployment of AI agents in customer service, sales, and quality control.
Digital Employee
Agent.sa is designed to handle phone calls, manage WhatsApp conversations, track customer requests, execute tasks, and analyze data, all in natural Arabic, with unprecedented speed and precision, and without the need for translation layers or complex interfaces.
“We’re not building a tool,” said Mohamed Gaber, co-founder and CEO of Velents. “We’re introducing a real digital employee who works alongside human teams. Our goal is to empower Arab companies with a smart worker who understands their language and dialect, and boosts their daily productivity.”
Agent.sa’s advanced capabilities include voice and text interactions across WhatsApp, Telegram, and Instagram, as well as data analysis, order tracking, and operational task execution, all in fluent, localized Arabic.
Transformative Solution
“We’re not selling off-the-shelf software,” added Abdulaziz Almuhaydib, co-founder and COO. “We’re embedding a smart employee into every company, one that learns, adapts, and delivers value moment by moment.”
Velents is positioning Agent.sa as a transformative solution for industries ranging from banking and telecom to logistics and healthcare. The AI agent can operate 24/7, handling thousands of customer interactions simultaneously.
Velents’ AI journey began with smart interview tools. Today, it has evolved into a full-service digital employee supporting departments from customer service and sales to technical support and operations.
Support Every Department
Agent.sa even speaks for itself: “I started as a smart interviewer,” the AI says. “Now, I’m the employee who can support every department. I work 24/7 without breaks, learn from your company, and talk to your customers on WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, even over the phone. I collaborate with your team on Slack or Teams, respond to complaints, track orders, and close sales, all in Arabic, intelligently, and in your preferred voice.”
In under five minutes, any company can create its own AI employee, trained directly on internal files and data, and capable of communicating with customers in the company’s tone and style. Voice, dialect, communication style, and tone are all customizable. Agent.sa integrates with over 20 systems, from payment gateways to CRM platforms, for seamless deployment.
Velents Agent is built on a proprietary Arabic-language model trained on millions of texts and conversations across diverse dialects. The platform adheres strictly to local data protection laws: in Saudi Arabia, data is stored within the Kingdom; in Egypt, all operations remain within national borders.
