Saudi-based artificial intelligence firm HUMAIN, a Public Investment Fund (PIF) company, has entered a strategic partnership with San Francisco’s Turing to develop the world’s first enterprise-grade AI agent marketplace. Announced during the FII PRIORITY Miami summit, the collaboration marks a major step in transitioning corporate operations from traditional software applications to autonomous, agent-driven workflows.
Quick Facts
- HUMAIN and Turing launch enterprise AI agent marketplace.
- Turing becomes HUMAIN ONE’s first US-based customer.
- Platform shifts enterprise operations from SaaS to agentic workflows.
Transitioning Enterprises to Agentic Workflows
The new marketplace will be hosted on HUMAIN ONE, the Saudi company’s proprietary platform designed to serve as an enterprise operating system for the AI era. The environment will allow businesses to discover, deploy, and scale intelligent agents across critical functions, including human resources, finance, legal, operations, and procurement.
HUMAIN Chief Executive Officer Tareq Amin highlighted the fundamental change this brings to corporate technology adoption.
“We believe the future enterprise will not be built around standalone software applications, but around intelligent agents that work alongside humans,” Amin said. “The SaaS era transformed productivity, but the next chapter is agentic, where software executes workflows instead of only supporting them.”
To build the platform, HUMAIN will provide its AI infrastructure and model orchestration capabilities, while Turing will integrate its expertise in advanced model evaluation, fine-tuning, and reasoning systems.
The marketplace will also function as a commercial hub. Third-party developers and AI builders globally will be able to publish and monetize their specialized agents, establishing governance and quality standards for a rapidly growing AI builder economy.
Saudi Arabia Emerges as an AI Tech Exporter
Beyond the joint development of the marketplace, the agreement positions Turing as the first US-based customer for HUMAIN ONE. Both companies note this milestone highlights Saudi Arabia’s evolution from a consumer of global technology to a developer and exporter of advanced AI platforms.
The initiative aligns with broader national efforts to position the Kingdom as a global AI hub, supported by significant PIF investments in digital infrastructure under Saudi Vision 2030.
Jonathan Siddharth, CEO and Co-Founder of Turing, emphasized the practical applications of the partnership for businesses globally.
“Superintelligence should not remain abstract,” Siddharth said. “It should deliver productivity, increase ease of use, and unleash humanity’s untapped potential. Building an agentic marketplace with HUMAIN is a concrete step toward making superintelligence economically transformative.”
