Meet Amina — the 24/7 AI support agent for everyone in the Gulf domestic-help ecosystem: families, workers, and agencies. Amina speaks seven languages, handles disputes, explains worker rights, and never sleeps. Available on WhatsApp anywhere in the GCC.
Why a dedicated support agent for the Gulf?
Domestic-help relationships in the Gulf often involve people from three or four different language communities living and working together: a Pakistani family in Sharjah with a Filipino nanny, an Egyptian family in Riyadh with an Ethiopian housemaid, a Kuwaiti family with an Indonesian cook.
When something goes wrong — a payment dispute, a contract question, a rights query, a medical emergency — the gap between languages, time zones, and legal frameworks often delays resolution by days or weeks.
Amina was built to close that gap. She is available immediately, in any of seven languages, with knowledge of the specific rules in each GCC country.
Who Amina helps
Families
If your domestic worker doesn't speak your language well, Amina can translate WhatsApp messages back and forth in real time — not as Google Translate, but as a culturally-aware mediator that understands the subtext. Ask Amina about worker rights, contract obligations, salary calculations, holiday entitlements, end-of-service gratuity, sick leave, and more — for any of the six GCC countries.
Workers
Domestic workers can reach Amina directly. Many have questions they're uncomfortable asking their employer or their agency: What is my salary supposed to be? How many days off do I get? What if I want to change jobs? What are my rights if I'm injured? Amina answers honestly, in the worker's language, with references to the actual labor law and the worker's contract.
Amina also runs voluntary wellbeing check-ins for workers who opt in — a private space where workers can flag concerns without their employer knowing.
Agencies
For agencies, Amina conducts structured interviews with new candidate workers — recording experience, skills, language ability, dietary preferences, and personal goals. Agencies get a complete profile within an hour, eliminating the typical multi-day onboarding for each new worker.
The training module connection
Amina is also the lead teacher for the GCC Domestic Academy — 108 training modules covering childcare, cooking, elderly care, first aid, household driving, halal kitchen rules, and more. Training is delivered entirely via WhatsApp messages, so workers don't need an app, a computer, or reliable broadband. Each completed module earns the worker a QR-verifiable certificate that families can scan to confirm authenticity.
Languages Amina speaks
- Arabic (Modern Standard, Gulf dialect, Levantine dialect, Egyptian dialect)
- English
- Filipino (Tagalog)
- Hindi
- Amharic
- Swahili
- Indonesian
Amina automatically detects the language of the incoming message and responds in the same one.
How Amina handles disputes
If a family and a worker disagree — for example, about working hours, salary deductions, or a contract clause — Amina:
- Listens to both sides separately, in each person's preferred language
- Checks the contract and the relevant country's labor law
- Identifies whether the dispute has a clear factual answer (e.g., "your contract says X")
- If the dispute is clear-cut, Amina explains the law to both parties in their language
- If the dispute is complex or involves abuse, Amina immediately routes to a human team member at GCC Domestic and, where appropriate, alerts the relevant labor ministry
Workers are never penalised for raising disputes through Amina. All conversations are confidential.

FAQ
Is Amina free for workers?
Yes. Workers never pay to reach Amina. Always free. Always confidential.
What happens if Amina detects abuse?
The conversation is immediately routed to a human team member. If the situation requires it, and with the worker's consent, the case is escalated to the relevant labor ministry or worker-rights organisation.
Can families opt their worker out of Amina?
No. Worker access to Amina is a non-negotiable feature of the platform. Workers have the right to ask questions about their employment.
