New platform turns years of buried WhatsApp recommendations into a searchable, AI-assisted network of providers your neighbours actually use. Free for residents.
DUBAI, UAE, 19 October 2026: Every day, somewhere in Dubai, a resident types the same message into a community WhatsApp group: “Can anyone recommend a good AC technician?” A few names trickle in. The thread scrolls away. Next month, someone asks again.
The best service professionals in Dubai, the cleaner with a waiting list, the handyman who always shows up, the tutor every parent in the building swears by, are known almost entirely through these conversations. Hauz Link, launching today for residents across Dubai, is built to unlock that knowledge and make it searchable.
AI finds. Neighbours vouch.
Residents tell Hauz Link what they need in plain language: “my split AC is leaking water.” Hauz Link’s AI assistant works out the job, picks out the details that matter, asks a couple of quick questions right in the chat, and shows the providers neighbours recommend for that kind of work, best matches first.
The AI doesn’t write reviews, invent ratings or vouch for anyone. Every recommendation comes from a real resident. The technology simply makes it findable in seconds rather than after twenty minutes of scrolling.
“Hiring help in Dubai is a gamble: the no-shows, the half-fixed jobs, the third technician sent to diagnose what the first two missed. The good ones exist, but they’re diamonds in the rough, and the people who know where to find them are the neighbours who’ve already hired them,” said Shahyan Currimbhoy, founder of Hauz Link. “Word of mouth already works. It just doesn’t scale, and it lives in group chats where it gets lost. We’re using AI to give it structure, not to replace it.”
Built for how Dubai actually works
Dubai runs on WhatsApp groups and word of mouth. But in a city where so many of us are new, the best recommendation is usually sitting with a neighbour you haven’t met yet. Hauz Link makes the introduction.
Next time you’d ask the group, ask Hauz Link first

About the founder
Shahyan Currimbhoy is a Dubai resident and technology entrepreneur with 20+ years building digital platforms at Microsoft, Siemens and multiple startups.
