DaleelAI is an Arabic-first directory of AI tools. It has been running since February 22, 2024, and now lists more than 1,300 tools, organized by category and searchable.
Who runs it
I’m Said Haniya, a full-stack developer with 15+ years of software development experience across PHP/Laravel, Next.js, Node.js, WordPress, Flutter, databases, and AI integrations. I build and run DaleelAI myself, with occasional help from a few people. There is no company behind it and no editorial team.
That means the catalogue reflects one person’s judgement — and it means there is a specific person to hold responsible when something is wrong. If you find a mistake, write to me and I will fix it.
Why it exists
Most AI-tool directories are written in English first, and Arabic readers get a late translation or nothing at all. Here the tools are catalogued in Arabic and English together, with the Arabic written as an original rather than a translation of a translation.
How tools get listed
- Manual searching. I look for new tools across the web and add the ones worth cataloguing.
- Reader requests. People write in asking for a tool to be listed, or to tell me one is missing.
- AI-assisted discovery. I use AI models to surface candidates and to help draft the descriptions.
I would rather say that plainly than pretend every word here is typed by hand. What AI does not decide is what stays in the directory.
Being listed here is meant to help you discover a tool — it does not necessarily mean DaleelAI endorses that tool or guarantees its results.
Keeping it current
A directory’s real problem is not getting listings in — it is the ones that rot. Links are checked on a schedule, and when a tool’s site stops responding the listing is marked as discontinued rather than left in place, so you do not click through to nothing.
Corrections
If a listing is wrong, out of date, or unfair to a tool, tell me. Corrections are made on the page itself.
