Beyond the Buzz: What Practical AI Looks Like for SMBs in the MENA Region

AI is everywhere — in headlines, boardrooms, and business strategies. But for small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) in Lebanon and the Gulf, the real question isn’t “What is AI?” — it’s “How can it help me today?

At Afaaq Advisory, we believe the power of AI lies not in complexity, but in clarity.

🔍 The Problem — AI Feels Out of Reach

Many SMBs want to explore AI but are held back by:

• Limited budgets and tech capacity

• Fear of disruption or failure

• Too much hype, not enough practical guidance

You don’t need a team of data scientists to benefit from AI. With no-code tools and the right strategic support, SMBs can:

• Automate everyday tasks

• Personalize customer experiences

• Gain real-time business insights

• Optimize internal processes
