Apptology is a Dubai-based software studio that ships bespoke websites, custom software, mobile apps, and AI agents for founders and operators — under one roof, with 10+ years of delivery and CMMI Level 3 maturity.
CMMI Level 3 · ISO-aligned · NDA-first · IP transfer on day one
Trusted by founders and operators across the GCC, UK, and US.
One studio. Four disciplines. Built to ship together.
Most agencies hand you off between a designer, an offshore developer, and an “AI partner.” We don't. Strategy, design, full-stack engineering, and applied AI sit in the same Slack channel, on the same Linear board, under one CMMI-Level-3 process.
Strategy
Discovery, scoping, technical architecture, and roadmap. We say no when no is right.
Design
Brand, product, motion. Editorial taste with a conversion brain.
Engineering
Full-stack web, mobile, cloud, data. Senior engineers only. Code you own from day one.
Applied AI
Agents, RAG, automations, GenAI integrations. Grounded in your data — not demos.
What we build.
Five productized offers. Senior teams. Transparent scope. AED-priced.
MVP Sprint
Idea to deployed MVP in 6–8 weeks. Fixed scope. Fixed price. Starting AED 95,000.
AI agents you can actually try.
Not a demo video. A real agent we built for a UAE med spa — answering questions, qualifying leads, booking appointments. Ask it anything.
- Trained on the client's services + price list (RAG over private knowledge).
- Books appointments through their actual calendar (Cal.com webhook).
- Hands off to a human when stuck — transparent, never deceptive.
STACK: NEXT.JS · OPENAI · PGVECTOR · CAL.COM · TWILIO. BUILT IN 4 WEEKS.
How we ship: five chapters, no surprises.
Ten years of delivery and CMMI Level 3 maturity, condensed.
Why CMMI Level 3? Because “vibe coding” your production system is how startups fail in year two.
Proof, not promises.
Three builds, three personas, three metrics that moved.
38 days from Figma file to clinic floor
A Dubai health-tech founder needed a working patient-intake MVP before a board demo. We scoped, designed, and shipped a deployed product in 38 days — they raised their seed two weeks later.
70% of inbound, qualified by an agent that never sleeps
A GCC brokerage was drowning in WhatsApp leads. We built a bilingual AI agent that qualifies inbound, books viewings, and hands off hot leads — now handling 70% of first-touch.
12 hours back per agent, every week
A logistics operator ran on spreadsheets and copy-paste. We replaced the busywork with an internal ops tool and automations — giving each agent 12 hours back every week.
Built for your context.
We build digital infrastructure for med spas, aesthetic clinics, and dermatology groups in the UAE. From bookings to AI concierges to compliance.
- Bilingual AI concierge that books appointments via Cal.com or NextDoctor.
- PDPL-aligned patient data with role-based access and audit trails.

Gary Dalal
Founder & CTO
Run by builders, not account managers.
Apptology is led by Gary Dalal (Gaurav Dalal), CTO. He's been shipping software for 20+ years across Dubai, Sacramento, London, and New Delhi. Every project at Apptology has a named technical owner — not a rotating account team.
“We don't sell hours. We sell shipped products that work in production.”
In their words.
“We came to Apptology with a messy brief and a hard deadline. They pushed back where it mattered, scoped ruthlessly, and shipped a product our investors could actually use. The difference was senior people who'd done this before — no hand-holding, no junior devs learning on our budget.”

Opinions we'll defend, from the people who ship.
