Systems for the AI era

Intelligent systems that run real businesses.

One lab that takes a system the whole distance: platforms, apps and AI that does work rather than demos, engineered for companies across the GCC, and run for you after delivery when you want it handled.

Everything it takes to ship a system.

Research feeds the build and the build feeds the research, inside one team. You buy one thing: a system that works, delivered by the person who will stand behind it.

01

Platforms and apps

Customer apps, field and operations tools, admin consoles and the billing underneath them. Built for the people who operate them every day, and handed over with the accounts in your name.

02

AI systems

Assistants and agents wired into real operations, with a human approval gate on anything irreversible.

03

Secure foundations

Encrypted data rooms, access control, audit logs, and backups that have been restored rather than merely scheduled.

04

Technology leadership

A builder in the room: architecture, vendor selection, security programmes, hiring and running engineers, and honest advice on what not to build.

One build, in section

Delivered as one system.

This is what you are handed: a running application, and nothing about it left exposed.

  1. delivered One closed volume: a running application, nothing exposed.
  2. five parts Interface, service layer, data, access and audit, infrastructure. Every build, named the same way.
  3. the gate A human approval on anything irreversible, and an audit trail under all of it. The one warm thing in the stack.
  4. handed over Reassembled, documented, and running in accounts with your name on them.

Built by us, running for them.

Client engagements across the GCC, and the products we own and operate ourselves. Some work is under confidentiality, so we describe it rather than name the client.

The lab

Where classical methods run out.

Applied research at the frontier of intelligent systems: quantum optimisation, autonomous agents, and the layer between a foundation model and a production system. Problems are chosen for commercial reach inside three to five years, and applied where the problem is genuinely hard: ports and logistics, manufacturing, finance, energy.

Stated plainly: the research side is a direction, not a product line. The build side ships today. When a result exists it will appear with the numbers attached and the classical baseline it was measured against named.

Calm, structured, accountable.

Four terms, in the agreement rather than just on this page. A stage is done when you watch it work, not when a document says so.

01

One fixed price

Staged payments against an agreed number. No hourly billing and no open meter.

02

Acceptance by demonstration

Done means you watched it work: a customer books, a job completes, a payment lands.

03

Plain language agreements

Three pages you can read without a lawyer, with the protections all there.

04

The founder delivers

You deal directly with the person responsible, from first call to handover.

Ahmed Yahya Al Kindi

Ahmed is a systems builder. Author of The System Builder, named a Top 20 GCC entrepreneur in 2019, and a public speaker since 2017. He is also cofounder of AI Founder Hub in Dubai and cofounder of Devmate Solutions, a software agency of thirty developers with more than 40 brands delivered.

TSB Labs is wholly his: the room where he does the work himself. Some engagements run entirely inside it, and a larger build runs as a joint venture with Devmate when it needs more hands than the room carries.

We take on a small number of builds each year.

If you are building something that has to work, and keep working, talk to us. Twenty minutes with Ahmed, and client references are available privately on request.
