Qadi has emerged from stealth with a pre seed funding round led by Incubayt. The company plans to build the Middle East’s first sovereign regulatory compliance platform for the AI era. Its goal is simple. It wants to help legal and compliance teams work faster, trust their systems, and manage rising regulatory demands with clarity.Building a Compliance System Tuned to Local RulesAI Agents That Run End to End Compliance WorkflowsA Mission to Support the Next Generation of Legal ServicesMeeting Regional Demand for Sovereign Regulatory AI Building a Compliance System Tuned to Local Rules Qadi focuses on the legal and regulatory landscape of the MENAT region. The company combines regional legal expertise and regulatory depth with advanced AI. It takes local laws, regulations, and internal policies and breaks them into clear, actionable rules. These rules then power AI agents that can make compliance decisions and complete tasks inside existing business workflows. Qadi aims to give institutions a platform that respects confidentiality and data sovereignty. It builds tooling that keeps sensitive documents within each organization while still delivering the speed of modern AI systems. AI Agents That Run End to End Compliance Workflows Qadi converts fragmented legal tasks into complete workflows. AI agents handle the first pass on many processes that normally slow teams down. These agents review documents, check requirements, route work, and notify the right people. Examples of what the agents can manage include: Reviewing NDAs and MSAs against local laws and internal playbooks. Routing contracts to relevant approvers for faster deal cycles. Notifying sales teams when agreements are ready to move forward. Scanning media assets for compliance with financial and advertising rules. The platform reduces repetitive work, improves accuracy, and helps institutions respond to regulatory change without long delays. A Mission to Support the Next Generation of Legal Services Qadi’s founder, Mohamad El Charif, says the company aims to build the engine behind compliance automation in the region. He highlights that Qadi is not creating a basic copilot. Instead, the company is shaping a deeper layer that connects strategic legal knowledge with AI driven operations. This focus positions Qadi as a foundation for the future of regional legal services. The new funding will support the hiring of AI and Legal Engineers. It will also help Qadi roll out its platform to law firms and financial institutions across the GCC. The company plans to work closely with early partners to refine workflows and expand use cases. Meeting Regional Demand for Sovereign Regulatory AI Incubayt’s founder, Sami Khoreibi, notes that regulatory AI is becoming core infrastructure globally. He says the Middle East needs sovereign platforms tuned to local rules. Qadi meets that need by encoding laws as AI agents and deploying them within each institution’s own environment. This approach blends automation, regulatory insight, and data protection in one system. As the region modernizes its regulatory systems and attracts global investment, Qadi aims to provide the operating layer that supports fast and scalable decision making for leading institutions.
