Questions we get asked in meetings, answered with numbers. Written by the team that leads the work.

How much does it cost to build an app in Qatar?

There is no single number, and any supplier who gives you one before asking about payments, data residency and languages is guessing. Five decisions set the cost: native or web, whether it takes money, where the data must live, how many languages, and who runs it after launch. This page explains each, and what a proposal should contain before you sign it.

  1. What is an AI agent, and what can it actually do for a small business?

    An AI agent is software that reads a message, decides what to do, and does it: answers the question, checks the calendar, books the slot, or hands over to a person. A chatbot follows a script. An agent takes actions inside your systems, and the useful ones know when to stop.

  2. AI receptionist or a human receptionist: what should a Doha business compare?

    Compare hours, languages, and what happens with the enquiry at 9pm. A human receptionist works a shift and takes leave; an AI agent answers every message at every hour in Arabic and English, and hands the hard ones to a person. Most Doha clinics and salons need both: the agent for the volume, a person for the judgement.

  3. How do I add Arabic and RTL support to an app or website properly?

    Set the direction once at the document level, use logical CSS properties everywhere so the layout mirrors itself, choose a typeface built for Arabic, and have a person write the Arabic. Machine-translated Arabic on a flipped English layout is what most Qatar sites ship, and readers notice in two seconds.

  4. What does it take to automate WhatsApp enquiries for a Qatari business?

    A WhatsApp Business number connected through the official API, a system that reads and answers messages, and a rule for when a person takes over. Cliqom sets this up with Baye3 AI: the agent answers in Arabic and English, books into your calendar, and hands over with a summary. Live to customers in about a week.

  5. How do I choose a software company in Qatar? The questions to ask before signing.

    Ask for a live link to something they built, ask who owns the code and where the data lives, ask what happens when their AI is wrong, and ask who answers at 9pm. A company that answers all four in a sentence each has shipped. One that answers with a deck has not.

  6. What does QFC registration mean when you are choosing a technology supplier?

    The Qatar Financial Centre is a business and financial centre in Doha with its own legal and regulatory framework. A QFC-registered company is a legal entity on a public register, licensed by the QFC Authority, with contracts enforceable under QFC law and its courts. Cliqom LLC is QFC licence 04392.
