WhatsAppCustom AI Agent in the UAE: what is included
A custom AI agent UAE businesses commission from Shyphan is designed for one process you describe, not adapted from a template.
Written agent charter
Before any code, we write a one-page charter: what the agent is for, what it must never do, which tools and records it uses, when it stops and whom it asks. Your process owner signs it off.
Tools built for your systems
Each tool is a narrow function, such as 'find open purchase orders for supplier' or 'draft a delivery reminder', built on the official API of Zoho, Odoo, Business Central or your telephony system with scoped permissions.
Your exceptions, not generic ones
We collect the awkward cases your team handles: partial deliveries, customers with two trade licences, bilingual threads. The agent is designed and tested around those, because that is where generic tools fail.
Approval points you choose
You decide which steps need approval and who approves. Approvals arrive in email, Teams, Zoho Cliq or the ERP, with the agent's reasoning and source documents attached. Approvers can accept, edit or reject, and edits are logged.
Replay testing
We replay dozens of your real past cases through the agent in a sandbox and compare its steps with what your team did. Differences are reviewed with the process owner before go-live.
Code and prompts you own
The agent's code, prompts, tool definitions and test cases live in your repository. You can change it, move it or have another team maintain it. Nothing depends on a proprietary Shyphan platform or licence.
The systems it plugs into
Real screens from the platforms we implement. Yours are configured to your entities, processes and KPIs.
The Zoho Desk headquarters view
Live channel traffic, unassigned and overdue tickets, customer happiness and agents online. Your AI assistant reads from and writes back to screens like this one, so nothing is re-keyed.
- Written agent charter
- Tools built for your systems
- Your exceptions, not generic ones
The Odoo Helpdesk overview
Open tickets, high-priority and urgent counts, SLA success rate and ratings per team. The same AI assistant connects to Odoo in exactly the same way.
- Approval points you choose
- WhatsApp and email together
- UAE document formats
What changes in the UAE
The local rules and realities we design for before go-live. Rules change, so we re-check the current position at scoping.
WhatsApp and email together
UAE processes often run across email and WhatsApp at once. Custom agents can follow a case across both, using the WhatsApp Business Platform with opt-in and approved templates.
UAE document formats
Tax invoices with TRNs, trade licences, Emirates ID copies and bilingual contracts are common inputs. Tools that read them are tested on your own examples, and personal data is handled in line with the PDPL.
Hosting in the UAE
Agents run in your cloud account, with models in a UAE region where the provider offers one, so your process data stays under your control.
How we deliver custom AI agent
Phases, indicative timing and what is delivered in each. Scope is fixed and priced in AED before we start.
Process interview
We sit with the people doing the work, collect real cases including exceptions and draft the agent charter.
Charter sign-off
The process owner approves the charter: goal, tools, limits, approvals and escalation, and the test case set.
Build and replay
Tools and agent are built against sandbox systems and replayed on real past cases until they meet the agreed standard.
Supervised live use
The agent handles live work with every action approved, while we fix issues found in real conditions.
Handover
Low-risk steps may be released, documentation is completed and your administrators are trained to adjust rules.
When custom AI agent is the wrong answer
A custom agent is not worth building if a packaged feature, such as Zoho CRM's Zia or Copilot in Dynamics 365, already handles most of the process. It is also a poor fit for processes that run a few times a month. We would suggest the packaged feature, or a simple checklist, and revisit when volume grows.
How we handle it: We implement Zoho, Odoo and Dynamics 365 and build AI and custom software, so our written recommendation can point you to a simpler option, or to doing nothing yet.
