Custom AI development
Custom AI development, built on your data and supported after launch.
When an off-the-shelf tool does not fit, we build the AI application your business needs: agents that complete multi-step work, assistants grounded in your own documents, document AI and the integrations that connect them to your systems.
Groundwork we have already done
- ILLUMIN8 FZE sends verified order information straight to production through the windream system we introduced, instead of passing paper between departments. ILLUMIN8 case study →
- For Dicetek we rebuilt the backup jobs for its ERP, domain and Tally servers. Automations write into systems like these, so we make sure they can be restored before we connect anything. Dicetek case study →
What it does
What we develop.
We build AI applications on established foundation models and Microsoft and open platforms, connected to the systems you already run. The engineering work is done by our own teams, including our software engineering team in India, and every application is handed over with documentation, monitoring and a support arrangement.
-
AI agents
Agents that carry out multi-step work across your systems, with limits on what they can do and a person approving anything sensitive.
-
Knowledge assistants
Assistants that answer from your own policies, manuals and records using retrieval (RAG), and follow your existing permissions.
-
Document AI
Extraction and classification of invoices, contracts and forms, with checks and human review where confidence is low.
-
Customer-facing assistants
Website, WhatsApp and voice assistants that answer questions, capture leads and hand over to your team.
-
AI features in your software
Summaries, search, classification and drafting added to an existing internal application or portal.
-
Integrations
APIs and connectors that link the AI application to your CRM, ERP, accounting and Microsoft 365.
The approach
Scope, build, run.
We agree what success looks like before writing code, and release in stages.
- 01
Scope
A free AI Opportunity Audit, then a written scope covering the use case, data, integrations, security and a fixed quote.
- 02
Build
A working pilot on real cases, tested with your team, followed by a staged rollout once it meets the agreed measures.
- 03
Run
Monitoring, logging and updates after launch, with a named owner on each side.
How we run it
Engineering discipline from 22+ years in IT.
Missan has delivered business IT since 2004, with 10,000+ projects delivered since 2004. We apply the same discipline to AI: test environments, access control, logging and a support arrangement. As a Microsoft Solutions Partner for AI Business Solutions and Cloud Solution Provider, we can build inside the Microsoft environment most businesses already use.
How we control access and data is on the AI governance and security page.
-
Your data stays yours
We use business services where your prompts and documents are not used to train public models, and we follow your access rules.
-
Human checkpoints
Sensitive or high-value actions are reviewed by a person before they happen.
-
Every run is logged
You can see what the application did and why, which makes faults quick to trace.
Questions buyers ask
AI development: common questions.
Do you build AI models from scratch?
Rarely. For almost every business use case it is faster, cheaper and more reliable to build on established foundation models and add your data, rules and integrations. We tell you if a case needs something different.
Who owns what you build?
Ownership of the application, its configuration and your data is set out in the written agreement before work starts.
How long does a first AI project take?
It depends on scope and integrations. The written scope after the free audit includes a timeline for the pilot and each later stage.
Will you complete our security questionnaire?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry. Where a control is not in place we say so, and tell you what it would take.
How is AI development priced?
Each project is quoted in writing after the free audit, based on the use case, integrations and volumes. We do not publish a price list.
Can you support teams outside the UAE?
Yes, remotely. Our head office is in Sharjah with teams in 3 countries, and we cover the US, UK, India, Uzbekistan and the Middle East remotely. We reply within one business day.
