Why Saudi Teams Need Specialized Meeting AI


The Arabic Dialect Challenge


Saudi Arabia has multiple Arabic dialects:


✓ Najdi Arabic
Central Saudi - Riyadh region
✓ Hijazi Arabic
Western Saudi - Jeddah, Makkah
✓ Gulf Arabic
Eastern Province - oil sector
✓ Mixed/Urban
Code-switching Arabic-English common in business

⚠️ Warning: Most AI tools only support Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), which is NEVER spoken in Saudi business meetings. Real deals happen in Najdi or Hijazi dialects.
