Why NCASEAI
Not another AI chatbot
General AI tools are built to answer anything. NCASEAI is built to answer only what it can source, about the Saudi market.

The same figure, from NCASEAI's ledger.
| Side by side | General AI tools | NCASEAI |
|---|---|---|
| Where a number comes from | Often a sentence, with no named file behind it. | Every figure shows its publisher, period, date and a link. |
| Fact or guess | Facts, estimates and guesses can read the same. | Every figure is labelled: Official, Web source checked, Other source or estimate. |
| Who checks it | Often only the model that wrote the answer. | Code fills in the official figures. At Standard and Deep, a second AI from another company checks every statement. |
| When it does not know | It may still give you an answer. | It names the gap and who publishes the figure. No guessing. |
| Saudi sources | Mostly the open web. | ZATCA, SAMA and the World Bank are read directly. What is not connected yet is listed. |
| What you get | A chat reply you copy out yourself. | An editable Arabic or English report: PDF, Word or PowerPoint, with numbered references. |
| Where a general AI tool is better | Any topic, any country, writing and code. | NCASEAI only does Saudi market research, and says what it cannot source. |
This compares how the tools are designed. It is not a test: we have not measured accuracy against any other product.
How it works
Ask. Research. Verify. Report.
Four steps, the same every time. Nothing reaches the report without passing the third.
Ask
Ask in Arabic or English, in your own words. Attach a file if you have one.
“How large is the Saudi cybersecurity market?”
Research
NCASEAI searches Saudi official data, the web and your files, and cites every source.
Web research runs at the Standard and Deep levels.
Verify
Every figure gets a label that says how sure we are. A second AI, from a different company, checks the rest.
Report
Get an editable executive report in Arabic or English: PDF, Word (DOCX) or PowerPoint (PPTX).
How every figure is labelled
- Official figureRead from the publisher's own file.
- Web source, checkedA second AI found the figure in the page cited for it.
- Other sourceReal, but not read from the publisher's own file.
- NCASEAI estimateWorked out by NCASEAI, or written by AI from the figures. Never shown as official.
LLM + RAG + agentic workflow + source verification
Four techniques, one fixed order, behind the four steps.
- Agentic workflowCode plans the work: which figures, regions and companies your question needs.
- RAGMatching rows are pulled from the evidence ledger, each with its publisher, period and date. At Standard and Deep, web pages are searched and cited too.
- LLMA large language model writes the answer. It cannot type an official figure: code fills each one in from the ledger.
- Source verificationA second model, from a different company, checks every statement. Anything it cannot confirm is marked.
This is a fixed workflow run by code, not a free-running agent: it cannot skip the insertion of figures or the check.

View Sample ReportWhere the figures come from
These are the Saudi publishers NCASEAI reads today, and the ones it does not. A source that is not connected is named as a gap, never guessed at.
Connected
- ZATCA
- SAMA
- World Bank
Partly connected
- GASTAT
Not connected yet
- MISA
- Etimad
- CST
- SFDA
Not read from GASTAT's own files, which block automated access. Selected GASTAT tables are read through DataSaudi, as Other source.
Built to be checked
Saudi companies need to know how an answer was made and where their data goes. The Trust Center answers that in plain words.

Questions
Quick answers
Is it free?
Yes. NCASEAI is free to use today, and no credit card is needed. Each organisation has a daily AI allowance; deeper research levels use more of it. If this ever changes, prices will be published first and nothing will be charged without your agreement.
Is it only for Saudi Arabia?
Yes. NCASEAI is built for the Saudi market: its regions, regulators, calendar and sources.
Where do the numbers come from?
From Saudi publishers, public web pages and your own files. Each figure shows its publisher, period and date. Missing evidence is marked, not filled.
Can I edit the report?
Yes. Edit it, then export it as PDF, Word or PowerPoint, in English or Arabic. The figures themselves cannot be edited.
Is my data used to train AI models?
No. NCASEAI does not use your content to train AI models, and it asks its AI providers not to retain it. The Trust Center lists who processes what, and where.
Does a person review it?
Not by default. Answers are written and checked automatically, and you decide what to use. You can ask an NCASE analyst to review a conversation (a few places each week); their name then appears on the report.
