General
What is DAIDU.AI?
DAIDU.AI is a practical AI ecosystem based in the UAE. We help people and organisations learn AI through hands-on workshops, find the right AI tools in our marketplace, automate real work with AI, and prepare whole teams for AI adoption.
Who is DAIDU for?
Business owners, CEOs and founders, professionals in marketing, sales, HR, finance and operations, and students, job seekers and educators. We also work with companies that want to train their teams or automate processes.
Where is DAIDU based?
DAIDU is based in Dubai, UAE. Many workshops run live online, so you can join from anywhere, and in-person sessions are held in Dubai.
Do I need a technical background to work with DAIDU?
No. Our workshops are designed for non-technical people, and our automation team handles the technical build when you want something built for you.
How do I talk to a person?
Message us on WhatsApp or use the contact page. Tell us what you want to achieve, and we will point you to the right workshop, tool or service.
Workshops
What is the difference between a workshop and a masterclass?
A workshop is a longer, outcome-led session, from half a day to several weeks of live sessions, where you build something you can use. A masterclass is shorter, usually up to four hours, and focuses on one skill.
Are DAIDU workshops CPD-accredited?
One is. The AI in Digital Marketing — Professional Certification is DAIDU's CPD-accredited AI Digital Marketing Workshop, listed by the CPD Standards Office under Daidu Inc, Provider No. 50952. Other workshops award a DAIDU certificate of completion unless stated otherwise.
Are workshops live or recorded?
Our workshops are delivered live, online or in person, with a trainer. Whether recordings are available for a specific session is confirmed on the workshop page or when you register.
What do I need to join an online workshop?
A laptop, a stable internet connection and free accounts for the AI tools listed on the workshop page. We send joining details and preparation steps before the session.
Some workshops say 'Proposed'. What does that mean?
Proposed workshops are planned but not yet scheduled. Register your interest and we will tell you when dates are announced. Your interest helps us decide which workshops to run first.
How do I choose the right workshop?
Use the Workshop Finder: tell us who you are and what you want to achieve, and it recommends a best match and alternatives. You can also ask us on WhatsApp.
Corporate
Can DAIDU train our whole team?
Yes. We design private corporate AI workshops around your company's processes, departments and goals, delivered on-site, online or in a hybrid format.
How are corporate workshops tailored?
We start with a discovery conversation about your team size, departments, current AI use and objectives, then propose tracks, format and dates. Exercises use examples from your industry.
Do employees receive certificates?
Participants who complete a corporate workshop receive a DAIDU certificate of completion. CPD accreditation applies only to the AI Digital Marketing activity, so ask us if CPD is important for your team.
How is corporate training priced?
Pricing depends on group size, format, duration and customisation. We share a proposal after the discovery conversation. Use the 'Design a Workshop for My Company' form or ask us on WhatsApp.
Can you help us write an AI usage policy?
Yes. Policy and governance are part of our leadership workshops and our AI consulting service. We provide a practical draft for review by your legal or compliance adviser.
Automation
What can I automate with AI in my business?
Common starting points are WhatsApp lead replies, follow-up reminders, customer questions, invoice processing, onboarding checklists and weekly reports. Anything repetitive, frequent and rule-based is a good candidate.
Do I need developers to automate workflows?
No. DAIDU builds and maintains the automations, and we train a member of your team to manage everyday changes. Many simple workflows can also be built with no-code tools.
How long does an automation project take?
It depends on the number of workflows and systems involved. We agree a timeline after the discovery call, once we understand your process and tools.
Is my data safe when you automate with AI?
We design automations with approved tools, minimum access and clear data rules, and we discuss where data is processed before building. Your obligations under UAE data-protection law are part of the design conversation.
Can an AI assistant reply on WhatsApp in Arabic?
Yes. AI assistants can handle Arabic and English, and we test conversations in each language you need before launch.
Marketplace
What is the DAIDU AI Tools Marketplace?
It is a directory of AI tools at marketplace.daidu.ai, organised by category, profession and industry, so you can find and compare tools for a specific job.
Does DAIDU sell the AI tools listed?
Most listings link to the tool's own website, where you sign up and pay the provider directly. Check each listing for details.
How are tools chosen and ranked?
Tools are organised by category, profession and industry. Our editorial guides explain how we select tools for each recommendation.
Can I submit my AI tool to the marketplace?
Yes. Use the 'Submit a tool' link on the marketplace, and our team will review your submission.
Are tool prices on the marketplace up to date?
Tool providers change pricing often. Always confirm the current price on the provider's own website before you buy.
Payments
Which currency are workshop prices in?
Workshop prices are shown in UAE dirhams (AED) unless stated otherwise on the session.
Can I pay in instalments?
Instalments are available for some workshops, including AI in Digital Marketing. Ask us on WhatsApp and we will explain the options for your session.
What is your cancellation and refund policy?
Please see our cancellation and refund policy, linked from every registration form. If you have a specific situation, ask us on WhatsApp before you register.
Can my company pay for my seat?
Yes. Ask us on WhatsApp or by email and we will confirm how to arrange company payment and the invoice details you need.
