The Opportunity

Problem

Safety officers and compliance professionals in Saudi Arabia waste significant time and face compliance risks due to lack of instant access to accurate, industry-specific legal answers

Solution

SafeQuery is an AI-powered chatbot that instantly answers safety, compliance, and regulatory questions specific to Saudi Arabia. It draws from a curated RAG database of official documents including Saudi Labor Law, SBC standards, and energy/contracting guidelines, delivering plain-English explanations with exact citations. This eliminates hours of research and reduces compliance risks for expat professionals who struggle with Arabic legal texts and scattered resources.

Target Audience

Expat safety officers and compliance professionals working in Saudi Arabia (especially in contracting/energy sectors)

Differentiator

Hyper-specialized RAG corpus focused exclusively on KSA energy and contracting sectors with expat-friendly translations and practical implementation steps that generic legal AI tools cannot match.
