Riyadh-based startup Misraj AI has officially launched its unified Arabic-first AI stack at AWS re:Invent 2025, Amazon Web Services’ annual technology conference. The new ecosystem is engineered to provide advanced language modeling, dialect processing, and document intelligence, aiming to unlock the vast amount of institutional knowledge currently trapped in unstructured Arabic documents.
The launch represents a significant step in addressing a persistent challenge for Middle Eastern enterprises, where most existing AI systems, built primarily for English, fail to process the complexities of Arabic effectively. Misraj AI joins a growing number of regional startups developing native solutions to help organizations maximize the value of their Arabic data.
The Kawn Ecosystem: A Native Arabic AI Stack
At the core of the announcement is the Kawn platform, a comprehensive AI stack designed for enterprise, government, education, and healthcare applications. The ecosystem includes advanced large language models, vision-language models, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines.
Unlike many global models that adapt from English-centric frameworks, Kawn has been built from the ground up to model real linguistic usage across both formal Arabic and diverse regional dialects, ensuring higher accuracy and contextual understanding.
Lahjawi: Mastering Regional Dialects
A standout feature within the Kawn platform is Lahjawi, a sophisticated dialect engine. According to Misraj AI, Lahjawi can recognize and respond to more than a dozen Arabic dialects with high accuracy and native fluency. This capability is crucial for applications requiring nuanced understanding of customer interactions, social media content, and regional communications.
SeamlessAPI and Baseer: Empowering Developers and Enterprises
Alongside the Kawn ecosystem, Misraj AI introduced two foundational components to complete its infrastructure offering.
SeamlessAPI provides developers with a unified interface to access Arabic knowledge systems, translation tools, dialect detection, and document intelligence. This allows for simple API calls to perform complex tasks like analyzing Arabic text, summarizing content, or extracting structured data.
The company also launched Baseer, a state-of-the-art Arabic document intelligence platform. Baseer delivers advanced OCR-to-Markdown conversion, transforming scanned documents and PDFs into clean, structured, and AI-ready data. It is designed to preserve layout elements and support multilingual content, enabling organizations to digitize legacy archives and automate compliance workflows in line with digital transformation goals like Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030.
