Shahbandr, a leading e-commerce enabler in Saudi Arabia and the wider MENA region, has announced the launch of “Shahbandr AI”, the region’s first fully integrated Generative AI Kit tailored for online stores.
This breakthrough offering is designed to make advanced AI tools accessible to every merchant on the Shahbandr platform, at no additional cost.
What Shahbandr AI Offers
The new suite provides a wide range of tools to power digital growth:
- ✅ Image generation for product photos and banners.
- ✅ Video creation with interactive clips and custom voiceovers.
- ✅ Audio production for ads and brand messages.
- ✅ Marketing copywriting optimized for conversions.
- ✅ Product-specific SEO content to improve search visibility.
All tools are accessible through a seamless Arabic interface, making the technology inclusive and easy to use.
Solving a Real Merchant Problem
Shahbandr AI was built to remove barriers faced by online sellers. Traditionally, merchants had to:
- Subscribe to multiple external AI platforms.
- Hire content creators and specialists.
- Spend significant time and money producing marketing materials.
With Shahbandr AI, merchants can now handle everything in one place, saving costs, reducing complexity, and accelerating sales growth.
Leadership Insights
- Tamer Sharkas, Co-founder & CTO of Shahbandr: “We developed Shahbandr AI with customized models and templates for e-commerce. Our goal was to make it simple for any merchant, even without technical expertise, to generate content, product images, and videos in just a few clicks.”
- Shady Abdelshaheed, Co-founder & CEO of Shahbandr: “Merchants need practical tools, not technical hurdles. By providing an integrated AI studio in Arabic, we enable sellers to create content and ideas without extra costs or the need for outside specialists.”
Features That Stand Out
- ✅ 50+ pre-set prompt tools – One-click execution without writing prompts.
- ✅ Embedded into the Shahbandr platform – No integrations or third-party services required.
- ✅ Free for all merchants – No hidden fees or premium add-ons.
Building on Proven Success
The AI launch follows the success of Videocommerce technology, previously rolled out by Shahbandr:
- Used by 18,000+ stores.
- Increased sales and engagement by nearly 5x.
With both Videocommerce and Shahbandr AI, the company has become the first e-commerce platform in the region to offer a fully integrated stack of video commerce and generative AI tools.
A New Era for E-commerce in MENA
The introduction of Shahbandr AI marks a milestone in regional digital retail. It levels the playing field by giving small and medium-sized merchants access to tools once reserved for big brands.
By combining affordability, accessibility, and innovation, Shahbandr is helping reshape how e-commerce stores across Saudi Arabia and the MENA region compete, grow, and connect with customers.
