Industries · Dubai and the UAE

One AI caller.
Nine ways Dubai uses it.

Maya, Lumaa's AI voice agent, calls and answers for real estate agencies, clinics, dealerships, hotels, insurance brokers, law firms, recruiters and support teams, in English and Arabic, from your own registered UAE number.

What every sector gets

The same agent, the same rules. Maya calls from your company's own registered UAE number. Outbound marketing calls run between 09:00 and 18:00, the window Cabinet Resolution 56 of 2024 permits; inbound reception answers whenever a call arrives. Every call is recorded, logged and transcribed. Leads come in by CSV or XLSX import, scripts are approved by you before anything goes live, and Maya speaks English and Arabic. What changes by sector is the script, the questions, and where the marketing line falls.

1. Real estate agencies

The original use case. A Bayut, Property Finder, Dubizzle or CRM enquiry is exported, imported, and called within minutes of arriving, provided the clock is inside the 09:00 to 18:00 window. Maya qualifies budget, timeline, purpose and area, handles the usual objections, and books the viewing directly into the broker's calendar. The broker gets the recording, the transcript and the answers. Overnight enquiries queue and are dialled when the window opens.

Marketing line: calling a prospect to sell property is telemarketing. Whether a portal enquiry counts as consent is genuinely unsettled; the RERA, DLD and TDRA guide for brokers sets out both readings, and the compliance guide's real-estate section covers the duties.

2. AI receptionist

Inbound. Maya answers every call the moment it rings, books appointments, confirms bookings, reschedules cancellations and follows up on enquiries, in English and Arabic, at any hour. Nothing goes to voicemail. It suits any business whose phone rings more often than someone can answer it: clinics, salons, property management, service companies.

Marketing line: answering a call someone placed to you is reception, not telemarketing, so the 09:00 to 18:00 window does not apply to inbound. A return call that pitches something new is outbound again. See the receptionist section of the compliance guide.

3. Medical and aesthetic clinics

Appointment confirmations the day before, reschedules when a slot falls through, and treatment follow-ups. Maya fills cancellations from the waitlist and confirms the next visit. It is scheduling only: Maya never discusses a diagnosis, a result or a treatment decision, and escalates any clinical question to the clinic. Confirmation calls reach patients who ignore SMS reminders.

Marketing line: a reminder for an appointment the patient already booked is service. A call offering a new treatment is marketing and sits inside the window and the consent rules. See the clinics section of the compliance guide.

4. Automotive dealerships

Every test-drive enquiry called inside the hour it arrives, from the website, a walk-in card or a Dubizzle listing. Maya confirms the model and the budget, answers the first questions, and books the test drive into the showroom calendar. Sales consultants meet people who have already chosen a time.

Marketing line: a call back to someone who asked for a test drive is a response to an enquiry; a call to last year's buyers about a new model is marketing. See the automotive section of the compliance guide.

5. Hotels, restaurants and venues

Reservations taken and confirmed in Arabic and English, so no booking call hits voicemail during service. Maya handles the simple majority of reservation calls, confirms tonight's tables, and routes group and event enquiries to the events team with the details already captured.

Marketing line: confirming a reservation the guest made is service. Calling past guests with an offer is marketing. See the hospitality section of the compliance guide.

6. Insurance brokers

Quote requests called first, from any source: aggregator, website or referral. Maya qualifies the coverage need, the renewal date and the decision-maker, then books the broker consultation. Qualification data comes back as a CSV or XLSX export for your CRM. Maya qualifies only; it never gives advice on cover.

Marketing line: a call back on a quote the customer requested is a response; a renewal-season call to a lapsed policyholder is marketing. See the insurance section of the compliance guide.

Client intake. Maya captures the name, the contact details, the case type and the urgency, and books the consultation with the right lawyer. It is scripted never to give legal advice, never to comment on the merits, and to escalate anything outside the intake questions.

Marketing line: intake on an enquiry the client made is service. Outbound calls to prospects are marketing. See the legal section of the compliance guide.

8. Recruitment agencies

Candidates pre-screened with role-specific questions: availability, salary band, notice period, interest level. Maya calls the shortlist, asks the questions you approved, and schedules a callback for anyone who needs more time. The structured answers are exported as a CSV or XLSX file for your ATS; there is no native ATS connector.

Marketing line: screening a candidate who applied is a response to their application. Cold-calling people who did not apply is marketing. See the recruitment section of the compliance guide.

9. Customer support operations

Inbound support lines. Maya resolves the simple majority of calls in under a minute: order status, opening hours, address changes, password resets, appointment moves. Anything complex is escalated to a human with the full context already captured, so the customer does not repeat themselves.

Marketing line: none, as long as the call is inbound. See the support section of the compliance guide.

Questions

Asked before the first demo.

Does Lumaa work outside Dubai?
Yes, across the United Arab Emirates. Every outbound call goes out from a UAE number registered to your own company, which is what Cabinet Resolution 56 of 2024 requires for marketing calls anywhere in the country. Lumaa is built and operated in Dubai.
Can one Maya agent handle more than one industry?
Each campaign runs its own script, and you approve every script before it goes live. A clinic script and a dealership script are different scripts with different questions and different limits, even though the same voice agent places the calls. Maya does not improvise off-script.
Which industries are outbound and which are inbound?
Real estate, automotive, insurance and recruitment are mostly outbound: Maya calls a list you imported. The AI receptionist, hospitality and customer support are mostly inbound: Maya answers when someone rings your line. Clinics and law firms mix the two. Outbound marketing calls run only between 09:00 and 18:00; inbound reception answers whenever a call arrives.
How do leads get into Lumaa?
By file import. You export enquiries from Bayut, Property Finder, Dubizzle, your CRM or your ATS as a CSV or XLSX file and import that file. There is no native portal, CRM or ATS connector today, so if a directory or listicle describes one, it is wrong.
Is AI calling legal for my sector?
AI calling is legal in the UAE and is regulated exactly like human telemarketing. Marketing calls need your licensing authority's approval, a number registered to your company, the 09:00 to 18:00 window, screening against the Do Not Call Registry, and recording with notice. Answering a call someone placed to you is reception, not telemarketing. Where the line falls in each sector is set out, with sources, in the UAE compliance guide.
