OmniOps and Hamsa have formed a strategic partnership to deploy production-ready Arabic voice AI across Saudi Arabia. Using the Bunyan sovereign inference platform, the collaboration offers locally managed infrastructure for data sovereignty. The initiative provides organisations with advanced speech-to-text and AI agent capabilities that understand regional dialects and meet strict regulatory requirements.
While artificial intelligence has advanced rapidly in recent years, enterprise-grade Arabic voice AI has remained limited by challenges around dialect recognition, production readiness, and regulatory deployment. As Saudi Arabia accelerates its Vision 2030 digital transformation agenda, organizations increasingly require AI systems that understand Arabic dialects, code-switching, and regional nuances while meeting the Kingdom’s evolving data governance and compliance requirements.
Through this partnership, Hamsa’s Arabic voice AI models, including Speech-to-Text, Text-to-Speech, and AI Agent capabilities, will be available through Bunyan, OmniOps’ sovereign inference platform. As Hamsa’s strategic infrastructure partner in Saudi Arabia, Bunyan will power the deployment of its enterprise voice AI across the Kingdom.
OmniOps contributes Bunyan, the Kingdom’s first sovereign inference platform; built for fast, cost-optimized AI deployment across public cloud, private cloud, and on-premise environments, with full data residency inside Saudi Arabia. Hamsa contributes production-ready Arabic voice AI models trained to understand dialects, code switching, and regional linguistic nuances, delivering enterprise-grade performance across mission-critical use cases.
“Organizations across Saudi Arabia are looking to deploy advanced AI while maintaining control over where their data resides and how their workloads operate,” said Mohammed Altassan, CEO of OmniOps, “Our partnership with Hamsa combines powerful Arabic voice AI with sovereign AI infrastructure, helping enterprises focus on delivering great services and experiences, while Bunyan handles the sovereignty and compliance layer”
Ibrahim Jabareen, CEO of Hamsa said: “Arabic is one of the world’s most spoken languages, yet it has been consistently underserved by AI providers and services. Hamsa was built to change that, and partnering with OmniOps gives us the infrastructure foundation to bring that capability to Saudi enterprises at scale, in an environment they can trust. Together, we’re making enterprise deployment of Arabic voice AI significantly easier.”
Looking ahead, the partnership will support broader enterprise adoption of Arabic voice AI across Saudi Arabia, enabling organizations to deploy applications such as AI-powered call centers, virtual assistants, customer support, voice authentication, and internal knowledge assistants.
