RIYADH, SAUDI ARABIA: Shahbandr, the leading e-commerce enabler in Saudi Arabia and the MENA region, has announced the launch of “Shahbandr AI”, the region’s first fully integrated Generative AI Kit for e-commerce stores.
“Shahbandr AI” provides a comprehensive suite of tools that enables merchants to generate images, videos, audio, marketing copy, and product-specific content for search engines — all through a seamless Arabic interface offered free of charge to stores using Shahbandr’s platform.
The initiative aims to empower merchants to keep pace with global AI advancements without subscribing to multiple external platforms or bearing additional costs for content creation. Any store operating on Shahbandr’s platform can directly access the new AI suite at no extra cost, significantly reducing operational expenses while boosting sales growth.
Commenting on the launch, Tamer Sharkas, Co-founder & CTO of Shahbandr, said:
“We developed Shahbandr AI to provide AI models and templates specifically customized for the e-commerce sector. We focused on creating a smooth and easy user experience, with full consideration for those without technical expertise. With this, any merchant can, in a few simple steps, create marketing texts, custom content for each product, generate product images, or convert content into an interactive video clip and add voice-overs, all from one place.”
Meanwhile, Shady Abdelshaheed, Co-founder & CEO of Shahbandr, added:
“Merchants need practical solutions that are free from technical complexities. With Shahbandr AI, we have provided an integrated studio and kit of AI tools in Arabic that helps merchants generate content and marketing ideas without any additional costs, whether for subscribing to external AI platforms or hiring specialists for these tasks.”
The suite also features more than 50 pre-set prompt tools, enabling merchants to complete tasks with a single click without writing prompts from scratch.
The launch of “Shahbandr AI” builds on the company’s successful rollout of Videocommerce technology, which is now available to more than 18,000 stores on its platform and has helped increase sales and boost customer engagement by nearly 5x. With this, Shahbandr becomes the first e-commerce company in the region to offer both Videocommerce and an embedded AI suite for online stores.
