KluesAI

What KluesAI does

KluesAI is a Riyadh, Saudi Arabia-based AI company founded in 2021 that builds computer-vision solutions for the public sector. Its portfolio centers on two products: CityKlues, a smart-city platform that processes video from citywide camera networks and IoT-connected devices through deep-learning models to give municipal authorities real-time visibility on urban conditions; and SpaceKlues, a satellite and aerial imagery analysis platform that uses machine learning and deep learning to detect ground-level objects, including illegal mining, illegal settlements, and building violations, and to build comprehensive urban and rural databases at scales of tens of thousands of square kilometers.

The company generates revenue through a mix of subscription/recurring arrangements for its software products and professional services engagements (AI Strategy, Concept-to-Execution Solution Building, AI Advisory, and Innovation/R&D), priced via quote-based contracts tailored to government buyers. Go-to-market is direct enterprise sales to government agencies and public-sector decision-makers across the Middle East, with the company explicitly positioning around domain expertise in public-sector transformation. Pricing, customer logos, funding history, and management team are not publicly disclosed, which constrains visibility into commercial traction; the firm operates as a privately held 11-50 employee company with no disclosed institutional investors or parent entity.
