# Lumaa > Lumaa is an AI calling platform built in Dubai, UAE, by Lumaa AI FZ-LLC. Its AI voice agent, Maya, calls leads, qualifies them, handles objections naturally, books meetings, and answers inbound calls, from the client's own registered UAE number, in English and Arabic. Outbound marketing calls run inside the 09:00-18:00 window UAE Cabinet Resolution 56 of 2024 permits; inbound reception answers whenever a call arrives. Lumaa's flagship AI agent is named **Maya**. Maya places outbound calls to leads imported from a CSV or XLSX file, answers inbound calls as a virtual receptionist, and returns structured data, the recording and the transcript. Calls happen from the client's registered number, so existing UAE telephony compliance is unchanged. Lumaa is a managed service: scripts are approved by the client before any call goes live, and Lumaa runs the calling. The platform is purpose-built for the UAE market and supports both English and Arabic across every use case, including real estate. The commercial model is described in words only: a flat monthly fee per line, a fee per connected minute, or a fee per qualified lead. No rate is published anywhere on the site; figures are quoted in writing after a demo call. ## Company - Legal entity: Lumaa AI FZ-LLC, Dubai, United Arab Emirates. - Founder: Ayman Sheik Ali, who also writes the site's regulatory guides. - [About Lumaa](https://lumaa.ai/about.html): who we are, how we work, what we do not claim, how to reach us. - Contact: demo requests through the form at https://lumaa.ai/#contact (replies come on WhatsApp); privacy@lumaa.ai for data requests; billing@lumaa.ai for billing. No phone number or street address is published. ## Industries served - [All industries (hub)](https://lumaa.ai/industries.html): the nine sectors in one place, with where the marketing/service line falls in each. - [Real estate agencies (Dubai)](https://lumaa.ai/): The original use case. Calls property enquiries exported from Bayut, Property Finder, Dubizzle or a CRM, qualifies buyers and tenants, and books viewings. - [Medical & aesthetic clinics](https://lumaa.ai/clinics.html): Appointment confirmations the day before, reschedules, and treatment follow-ups. Scheduling only; never discusses diagnoses. - [Automotive dealerships](https://lumaa.ai/auto.html): Calls every test-drive enquiry within the hour. Books test drives. Leads from the website, walk-ins, and Dubizzle. - [Hotels, restaurants & venues](https://lumaa.ai/hospitality.html): Reservation handling and confirmations in Arabic and English. Group enquiries are routed to the events team. - [Insurance brokers](https://lumaa.ai/insurance.html): Calls quote requests first, qualifies coverage needs, books broker consultations. Qualification only; never gives advice. - [Law firms & legal consultants](https://lumaa.ai/legal.html): Client intake calls. Captures name, contact, case type, and books consultations. Explicitly scripted never to give legal advice. - [Recruitment agencies](https://lumaa.ai/recruit.html): Pre-screens candidates with role-specific questions. Exports the structured answers as a CSV or XLSX file for your ATS; there is no native ATS connector. - [AI receptionist (inbound)](https://lumaa.ai/receptionist.html): Answers every inbound call instantly, books appointments, confirms bookings, follows up on enquiries, at any hour. - [Customer support operations](https://lumaa.ai/support.html): Resolves the simple majority of inbound support calls in under a minute. Escalates complex cases to humans with full context. ## How it works 1. Export your leads from the portal, CRM or ATS as a CSV or XLSX file and import the file. There is no native Bayut, Property Finder, Dubizzle, CRM or ATS connector. 2. Maya calls every lead within minutes of import, inside the 09:00-18:00 window, on your own registered UAE line. 3. Maya conducts a natural conversation, qualifies intent against the questions you approved, and either books the meeting directly into your calendar or returns structured data. 4. Your team gets a clean handoff: full call recording, transcript, and the qualification answers. ## Differentiators - Calls go out from the client's own registered UAE number, which is what Cabinet Resolution 56 of 2024 requires; UAE telephony compliance is unchanged. - English and Arabic delivered as part of the managed service, including switching between them mid-conversation. - The Resolution 56 duties are part of the service: registered number, the 09:00-18:00 window, DNCR screening, recording with notice. - Scripts are approved by the client before any call goes live; Maya does not improvise off-script. - Every call is logged, recorded, transcribed and reviewable. - Lead data moves by CSV or XLSX import on the managed service; enterprise tiers integrate through the REST API and signed webhooks. No pre-built connector for a named CRM or portal exists, and Lumaa says so. - One memory across calls and WhatsApp, and a per-client knowledge base; AES-256-GCM encryption at rest; bring-your-own-key; audit log retained seven years. ## Enterprise capabilities (documented on the privacy policy, DPA, recording policy and API reference) - One memory across calls and WhatsApp: Maya keeps the context of every conversation with a lead, on the phone or in WhatsApp, and picks up where it left off. Every conversation leaves a summary, an outcome and the structured answers on the lead's record. A per-client knowledge base is built from uploaded PDF, Word, text and CSV documents and used by Maya during the call. - Encryption: lead and account data encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM; TLS 1.2+ in transit with HSTS; recordings encrypted at rest and served through pre-signed links that expire after one hour. - Bring your own key (enterprise): caller identities are encrypted with a content key Lumaa never stores; it is presented per request, used transiently and never logged. - Access and integration: REST API with scoped, hashed, revocable API keys; signed webhooks with retries for call.completed, call.failed, call.transcript and call.recording; idempotent call placement; monthly call analytics. Managed-service clients use CSV/XLSX import and export; there is no pre-built connector for a named CRM. - Audit and retention: every call placed, opt-out and data event written to an audit log retained seven years; recording retention defaults to 90 days and is set per client in the DPA; annual audit right in the DPA. - Deployment models: fully managed; a hosted PBX that the client's own gateway registers to; or AI-only over the API for a PBX the client already runs. ## Pricing - **Monthly**: a flat monthly fee with unlimited calls on your dedicated line. Best for predictable volume. - **Pay as you go**: billed per connected minute of talk time. No commitment. Best when volume varies. - **Per qualified lead**: pay only when a lead qualifies as interested after the call. Lumaa carries the risk; the customer pays for results. No setup fees. No long-term lock-in. Exact rates are quoted in writing after a demo call and never published.
