Let's be honest: you did NOT buy AI… you bought an FAQ machine

The agency told you “We installed AI on your site.” What they actually gave you: a generic chatbot that says “Hi 👋 how can I help?” and repeats your FAQ page.

That is not a closer. That is not sales. That is a toy.

لو دفعت عشان “تشات بوت ذكاء اصطناعي”، الأغلب عطوك روبوت أسئلة وأجوبة بس. هذا مش بيسكر مواعيد. هذا مش بيقفل عميل. هذا بس يكرر المحتوى اللي عندك.

Meanwhile in Dubai right now: real AI sales agents are answering at 22:40, in Arabic + English, and literally booking paid time slots for tomorrow morning while the founder sleeps.

Chatbot vs AI Sales Agent (the difference is money)

شوف الفرق؟ واحد ثرثرة. الثاني موظف مبيعات. الأول يضيّع وقتك. الثاني يحجز فلوس.

Why Arabic + English matters in UAE conversion (and why your current bot fails)

Real buyers in Dubai talk like this at 22:30:
“السلام عليكم، كم الباكج الشهري؟”
“Hi, can you start next week? urgent”

A real AI sales agent must:

• Open warm and respectful in Arabic (trust, comfort)
• Switch to clear English for pricing, timings, deliverables (clarity, contract style)
• Offer a real time slot
• Lock that slot and confirm

العميل الخليجي/الإماراتي يحب بدء النقاش بالعربي باحترام، بعدين الكلام المالي/الرسمي بالإنجليزي. روبوت الأسئلة العادي ما يفهم هذا. احنا نضبط هذا.

If you are not doing that bilingual dance, you are losing high-ticket leads to someone in Dubai who is. Tonight. Not “one day.”

The money math you are ignoring

Let’s be direct:

• Your good client is worth 20,000+ AED/month retainer / case / contract.
• They messaged you at 22:47.
• You replied at 09:15 next day.

You think "We’ll catch them." Reality: they already booked a call with someone else last night at 22:49.

يعني انت خسرت 20,000+ درهم وانت نايم. مش لأن السوق ضعيف. لأن ما عندك closer ليلي محترم بالعربي+إنجليزي.

You aren’t “losing leads.” You are losing salary-level money every night.

Why your current setup can't close (and it's NOT Shopify's fault)

Most UAE teams do this wrong at the foundation:

• Shopify built like WordPress (hard-coded sections, zero metafields, zero metaobjects)
• No Google Search Console / Merchant Center / Google Business verification
• No GA4 + Tag Manager events wired, so you can't prove which traffic buys
• No AI agent connected to live availability, pricing, install slots

So of course your “chatbot” can’t close.

يعني المشكلة مش Shopify. المشكلة الشخص اللي بنا المتجر وخلّاه غبي، بدون داتا حقيقية، بدون ربط مع Google، بدون شي يساعد الذكاء الاصطناعي يبيع.

We fix the Shopify data layer first. Then we deploy the closer.

What you get when we deploy your AI sales agent (UAE model)

• Live WhatsApp / site chat that qualifies leads in Arabic + English
• Budget check (“Our retainers start from 20,000 AED/month, is that approved?”)
• Urgency check (“Are you starting this month or just comparing?”)
• Decision-maker check (“Are you the final approver?”)
• Instant booking into your calendar tomorrow 10:30 / 12:15 / 17:45
• Daily WhatsApp summary at 08:30 with who booked, who is serious, who owes payment

يعني ببساطة: أقوى موظف مبيعات عندك… من غير راتب، من غير إجازة، من غير “sorry I was sleeping”.

Your next move (Dubai / Abu Dhabi only)

If you're still using an FAQ-style chatbot, you're gifting business to competitors who answer faster and sound more local.

At Vista by Lara we do 3 things for you:

1. Fix your Shopify data layer so AI can actually understand and sell your offer
2. Connect your brand to Google (Search Console, Merchant Center, Business Profile) so you look legit to both Google and buyers
3. Install a bilingual AI sales agent (Google Cloud stack) that books tomorrow’s revenue while you sleep

ما تحتاج “تشات بوت”. تحتاج closer عربي/إنجليزي يشتغل 24/7 ويقفل مواعيد بفلوس.
