Who builds Search Genie
Search Genie is built by HYVE Labs, an AI and enterprise-systems studio in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, working since 2020. The studio builds workflow automation, data pipelines and custom software for enterprise teams, and runs an SEO, GEO and AEO practice — Search Genie is the platform that grew out of doing that work in Arabic and English across the Gulf.

Who is behind it?
HYVE Labs publishes one named leader on its about page: Shaheer Usmani, Managing Director. The studio describes him as an ex-group marketing lead — someone who ran growth inside an operating business before building software for it.
We are deliberately not listing a cast of titles here. The team page that matters is hyvelabs.tech/about, read 28 September 2026, and it is kept current by the people it describes.

Why build another AI visibility platform?
Because the ones that existed measured English and assumed a Western buyer. A Gulf retailer's customers ask in Arabic, buy in several markets at once, and appear in AI shopping answers through a product feed nobody was joining to the rest of the picture.
So Search Genie measures Arabic and English as equals across Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt and Lebanon; joins AI answers to your own Search Console, GA4 and Google Merchant Center data (the retail side is explained in how AI shopping answers choose which products to recommend); and does something about what it finds — generated content, and approved page changes you can publish and roll back. How that compares with the alternatives is set out, with sources, on AI search visibility tools compared.
