Gabster

What Gabster does

Gabster is a Riyadh-headquartered, AI-native customer engagement and business communication platform founded in 2024. The company unifies more than ten customer-facing channels — WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook Messenger, Telegram, email, SMS, voice, and web chat — into a single inbox, then layers NLP-driven conversational AI, voice agents, computer vision, and a no-code automation studio on top to deflect routine inquiries, qualify leads, schedule appointments, and route complex cases to human agents. Gabster's product surface is organized into six core products (WhatsApp CRM, AI Chatbot, Instagram Automation, Omnichannel Inbox, AI Voice Agent, Sales Automation) and a deeper set of platform modules (Unified Inbox, AI Engine, Voice AI, Automation Studio, Analytics & BI, Integration Hub, Appointments, Admissions & Intake, Gabster Vision, Business Agent, Unified Calling, Dashboard Builder, Mobile App), all sharing a common knowledge base, customer profile, and analytics layer.

The underlying technology is a cloud-deployed SaaS platform with hybrid and on-premise options, multi-region data residency (Saudi, UAE, Egypt), and an integration hub with 50+ native connectors to CRM (Salesforce, HubSpot, Zoho), ERP (SAP, Oracle, Odoo, NetSuite), e-commerce (Shopify, Salla, Zid, WooCommerce, Magento), helpdesk, payments, and BI tools. Official WhatsApp Business Solution Provider and Meta Business Partner status grant privileged API access that non-BSP competitors cannot match. The AI Engine claims 95%+ intent recognition, 50+ language support including native Arabic dialects, 70% auto-resolution, and sub-200ms response latency. Gabster holds SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and SAMA/ZATCA/PDPL-aligned posture, an unusually broad compliance stack for a pre-seed company.

Commercially, Gabster sells a four-tier annual subscription (Starter $950/yr, Growth $2,870/yr, Business $5,078/yr, Enterprise custom) with a hybrid self-serve/inside-sales/enterprise field-sales motion targeting SMBs through enterprises across 30+ countries, with Saudi Arabia as the primary market. The company reports 4,400+ registered organizations and 500+ active clients, with documented case studies spanning e-commerce, healthcare, food service, and technology retail. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, and the company is venture-backed at the pre-seed stage with a $500,000 round led by Riyadh Angel Investors and T2 in 2026-05.
