Every enterprise has employees already using AI. Most don't know what they're sharing.
DiwanAI: Bukhatir Group's Own Private AI Assistant, Live Across All 16 Companies.
Across construction, education, real estate, retail, and sports, employees were already feeding contracts, financial records, and employee data into public tools the Group couldn't see or control. DiwanAI closes that gap with a secure, sanctioned alternative, so shadow AI is designed out entirely, not managed as an ongoing risk. Bukhatir chose sovereignty instead: the Group owns the environment, the data never leaves its perimeter, and governance sits in its own hands.

DiwanAI: Group-Wide Sovereign AI Assistant
Built by Magure on MagOneAI, DiwanAI is live for employees across all 16 companies. Every query and document stays inside the Group's own infrastructure, governed by its own policies, with a full record of how AI is used. The Group owns the platform and controls the data.
01
Every employee now has a governed, private AI assistant, capable enough for real work, secure enough that nothing leaves the Group’s perimeter. Built by Magure on MagOneAI and deployed inside the Group’s own cloud, governed on the Group’s own terms.
UAE AI alignment
The UAE Has Set a National Ambition for AI. Bukhatir Group Is the Private Sector Answering It.
The UAE was the first nation to appoint a Minister of State for AI, with a National AI Strategy 2031 built around AI leadership across every sector. Bukhatir's deployment lives up to that ambition: a UAE conglomerate and a UAE AI company building sovereign AI on UAE soil, data in-country, governance with the enterprise.
Data Residency in the UAE
All sensitive data stays within the Group's own cloud. Nothing crosses the border.
Transparency Over Automated Decisions
A full audit trail covers how AI is used across all 16 companies.
Human Oversight
Human review is required before any consequential action is taken. AI assists; the Group's people decide.
Governed, Not Just Adopted
Role-based access, centralised monitoring, cost attribution, and full audit trails from one platform.
“This Group was built over half a century on trust and the confidence to embrace what comes next. AI is the defining technology of our time, and our ambition for it starts at the board. It will not sit at the edge of our businesses as an experiment, it will be woven into how we build, teach, develop and serve. With Magure, we have laid a foundation that lets us move at the speed of this technology without ever surrendering control of what makes us who we are.”
