The company

Exara.

A software company in Dubai, founded in 2025. We build AI products of our own across education, sport and automotive, and custom software for small and medium businesses across the UAE.

Problem first
We scope the problem before choosing the technology. Some of this work needs AI, some of it does not, and we say so.
Priced upfront
Scope and cost are agreed before a line of code is written. No day rates and no open meter.
Yours to keep
The code and the data belong to the client. Nothing is locked behind us or rented back.

Projects.

Project 01 · Education

Career Atlas

Careers a student would never think to search for.

The problem

Students choose from the handful of careers they can already name. A counsellor has no way to widen that list without guessing, and no way to show a student why a particular path came up.

The business model
Who pays
Schools and universities
Sold as
An annual licenceUnlimited students. One number a school can budget for.
Then
Ministries and education authorities
Try it · the path graphpick a starting point
medicine

One familiar starting point opens onto the roles connected to it. Every path gets a UAE reality check.

The techfour parts
01
Interest scoring
Profiles a student across work-type dimensions rather than job titles.
02
Occupation graph
Weighted edges between related roles, traversed to surface adjacent ones.
03
Local data layer
Occupation records mapped to UAE roles and study routes, source dates carried through.
04
Explainability trace
Every result returns the scores and edges that produced it.

Project 02 · Sport

MatchProof

Proof of what a sponsor actually got.

The problem

Gulf companies spend three to four and a half billion dollars a year sponsoring sport. Almost none of them receive proof of what they bought, and the clubs selling those rights prove it with screenshots in a slide deck.

The business model
Who pays
Clubs, leagues and event organisersTheir income depends on sponsors renewing. This report wins the renewal.
Sold as
Per event, or monthly across every sponsor
Then
The brands themselvesGulf sponsors hold rights at FIFA, F1 and UEFA.

04
Reconciliation
Delivered inventory measured against contracted inventory.

Project 03 · Automotive

CarVerdict

Should I buy this car?

The problem

A buyer or a garage reads a fault code and gets an opinion back. Nothing shows how the conclusion was reached, so nobody can challenge it before parts are replaced and money is spent.

Custom solutions.

Off-the-shelf software is priced for a company ten times the size, or built for a hundred needs when a business has one. We build the piece that is missing, around how the company already works.
