The Data Problem

400M+

Arabic speakers

Arabic is the 5th most spoken language globally

0.6%

of web content

Less than 1% of internet content is in Arabic

30+

Arabic dialects

Each dialect needs specialized training data

Our Story

From need to solution

Bayan started from a simple realization: while global tech companies race to build advanced AI models, Arabic remains significantly underserved due to a lack of high-quality training data.

The problem isn't just data quantity — it's quality and diversity. Different Arabic dialects — from Gulf to Egyptian to Levantine and Maghrebi — each need specialized handling by native speakers who understand the cultural and linguistic nuances.

We founded Bayan to close this gap. We built a comprehensive data annotation platform that combines Arabic language experts across all dialects with advanced quality assurance systems, delivering high-quality training data for any AI model — in Arabic, English, and beyond.

Our Mission

Provide high-quality training data for AI in any language, with unmatched expertise in Arabic and its dialects.

Our Team

Linguists, data engineers, AI researchers, and domain experts — a multidisciplinary team working from across the MENA region.

Our Approach

Human-in-the-loop annotation with built-in quality control, inter-annotator agreement, and full transparency.

Our Values

Quality over speed

We prioritize accuracy over velocity. Every data point passes through multiple review stages.

Cultural authenticity

Real data from native speakers — not machine translations or surface-level adaptations.

Transparency

Real-time dashboards and detailed quality metrics for every project.

Fair compensation

We believe good work deserves fair pay. Our annotators receive competitive compensation.
