Applied AI for Business, Dubai

The session · Tuesday 22 September · 10:00 to 13:00

The morning, in four parts.Not a keynote. A working session on a live system, with the third part done by you, on your own task. Nobody leaves with something explained. They leave with something running.

Part one · 10:00

Where AI moves the numbers

30 minutes · the map

Which jobs inside a business an agent can take today, and which it cannot
The five jobs that move revenue first: lead response, follow-up, the inbox, reporting, content
What to build, what to buy, and what to leave alone this year
Reading a vendor pitch: the questions that expose a demo

You leave with a short list of the two or three jobs in your own business worth handing to an agent first.

Part two · 10:30

Agents at work, on real cases

45 minutes · a live fleet on the screen

A Secretary that files email into the CRM within three minutes and drafts the reply
A Prospector that posts checked leads into a WhatsApp group every morning
An Outbound desk, an SEO engine, and a Reporting crew that replaced the status meeting
What each one costs to run, what it needed from the humans, and where it is not allowed to act

You leave with a clear picture of what "an AI employee" means in practice, with the numbers from a fleet that runs today.

Part three · 11:15

Build your own AI employee

90 minutes · hands-on, laptops open

Pick one task from your own week that you would hand to a new hire
Write its job description, shift, tools and guardrails, together
It does its first job while you watch
Set the checkpoint where a person says yes before anything goes out

You leave with an AI employee configured on your own task, still running when you are back at the office.

Part four · 12:45

Your first 90 days

15 minutes · the plan

The KPI each agent will be judged on, and the loop to measure it
The guardrails your legal team will sign
What to switch on next, and what to keep human

You leave with a one-page plan you can put in front of your team on Wednesday morning.

Module · Build your own AI employee

Every seat configures one, and takes it home running.

An AI employee is a software agent with a role, a schedule, tools, an objective and written guardrails. It works without anyone driving it and reports to a person who approves what goes out. SimplifyGenAI runs 25 of them for its own companies as SAGE, Simplified Autonomous Growth Employees. In part three, each person picks a task from their own week and we set it up together.

Role: e.g. Lead response for a sales team, the inbox for a founder, the month-end pack for finance, weekly content for marketing
Shift: Every morning at 08:00, every three minutes, or as work arrives
Reports: A WhatsApp or email brief to its owner, every day
Guardrails: Allowlisted data only. Nothing customer-facing without a person's yes.

Our own floor

The agent roadmap of the organisation of the futureEvery character is one of our own AI employees on shift, and this is how the company is actually run. The floor runs live at simplifygenai.com.

The agent roadmap

AI employees, and how the next organisation is staffed.Not a chatbot and not an automation. A software agent with a role, a shift, tools, an objective and written guardrails, that works without anyone driving it and reports to a person who approves what goes out. These are the ones running on the floor in the video above.

The SEO employee

Writes and ships against a traffic number

Watches search data daily, writes and ships content against a traffic objective, and reports what moved. Ours runs the search growth for our own product, Cherry Shot.

The outreach employee

Finds and qualifies, a human sends

Finds prospects that fit a written brief, qualifies them, drafts the message, and delivers a digest for a human to approve. Ours feeds our business development every morning.

The reporting employee

The brief that replaced the status meeting

Compiles the numbers that matter into a daily or weekly brief and sends it where the team already reads: WhatsApp, Slack or email.

The watchdog

Patrols the other agents

Catches failures, diagnoses the cause, and escalates to a human when something needs a decision. Ours is called the Inspector, and you can see it on our floor.

The storefront employee

Keeps a live store current

Keeps product listings, collections and content fresh on a live store, on a schedule, with a human gate on anything customer-facing.

Yours

Your process, written down

The point is not our roster. Any process your team repeats can become an employee that never sleeps. Part three of the morning is where you write one, on your own task.

See them running: every AI employee above is live on our own floor at simplifygenai.com/ai-employees. Nothing on this page is a mock-up.

Who is at the front

Builds AI systems that run in production. Then teaches from them.Most people pitching AI workshops have never shipped one. This session comes from a fleet that runs today, which is why the morning ends with something running.

2010Co-founds Iffort, a digital marketing and technology company, now 40 people and 300+ clients across India, the UAE and the US.

2019Joins the Forbes Agency Council.

2025Founds SimplifyGenAI, the applied AI studio, registered in Sharjah Media City.

2026SAGE, a platform of 25 AI employees, runs SimplifyGenAI's own companies. Cohorts trained across seven markets, from airlines and banks to tourism boards, SMU and PSB Academy among them.

Builds, does not just teachVerbeo, SimplifyGenAI's voice AI, runs at two million calls a month. The session comes from that work, not from a course outline.

Industry rooms, not tech demosAirlines, banks, shipping, tourism boards, real estate, retail, education. The material is always the participants' own.

A team behind the trainerSimplifyGenAI and Iffort can build what you decide to build after the morning, in the UAE or India.

Where this has already worked

Airlines, banks, tourism boards, real estate, shipping.Real cohorts across seven markets, their own work on the screen.

**Tourism cohort, Bhutan**A national tourism team, two days, their own itineraries and campaigns as the material.

**Corporate cohort, Malaysia**A full auditorium, and still every exercise ran on live accounts.

**Travel tech, Singapore**"A large volume of travel businesses would have AI handling phone calls." They do now.

**Hands-on, Singapore**At the table, one problem at a time.

**After the session**The cohort dinner. The questions get better once the laptops close.

**Leadership cohort, Singapore**Every cohort leaves with something running. Then they send this.

**Industry seminar, India**A tourism industry audience, and AI on the agenda for the first time.

**Working session, Singapore**Heads down, own accounts, one problem each.

Before you ask

The questions people ask first.

Is there a fee?

No. The form is an application for a seat, and seats are confirmed by email because the room is small. We never ask for payment for a seat.

Who should come?

Founders, function heads and managers, from any industry. It is not a technical session. Nobody writes code, and nothing in the morning needs a technical background.

What do I bring?

A laptop, your logins to the tools you already use, and one task from your own week that you would hand to a good new hire. That task is what your AI employee is built on.

Where in Dubai?

A central venue, shared with confirmed seats along with a short pre-read. The morning starts at 10:00 and ends at 13:00 GST.

Which tools?

The ones your company already has or can adopt: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, plus the agent tooling that fits your stack. We are not tied to a vendor.

Can my team come too?

Yes. Put their names in the note on the form and we hold the seats together, subject to the room. If you would rather have the whole morning for your own company, tick the in-house option.

I cannot make 22 September.

Apply anyway and say so in the note. You will hear about the next Dubai date first, and the in-house version runs on a day that suits your team.

Our data is sensitive.

Good. Guardrails are part of the build: allowlisted data only, nothing customer-facing without a person's approval, and the exercise runs on a redacted copy of your material where needed.

Hold a seat
