Dhruva launches its AI platform to simplify taxation in UAE
Designed to make tax management intuitive, predictive, and real-time, Dhruva's intelligent AI platform addresses the increasing demand for smarter compliance tools across the region. The solution harnesses the capabilities of advanced machine learning, large language models (LLMs), and natural language processing (NLP) to analyze financial data, interpret regulations, and provide instant insights tailored to UAE's unique regulatory frameworks.
'Our vision was clear from the start—to remove the complexity surrounding taxation and empower businesses with clarity, control, and confidence,' said N imish G oel, GCC Leader, Dhruva Consultants. 'Traditional software solves yesterday's problems. With AI, we help businesses anticipate tomorrow's tax challenges and stay ahead of regulatory change.'
Unlike conventional tax platforms that remain reactive and rules-based, DhruvAI.tax offers a predictive and adaptive experience. From identifying deductible expenses in corporate tax filings to modeling intercompany transactions for transfer pricing compliance, the platform acts as a virtual tax strategist for UAE-based enterprises.
The system is fully integrated with major ERP platforms, allowing for quick deployment and minimal technical overhead. It continuously updates itself with the latest tax regulations and free zone nuances via API feeds and built-in audit mechanisms, ensuring ongoing compliance.
With the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) increasingly leveraging digital infrastructure and encouraging voluntary compliance, Dhruva's AI's solution is aligned with the UAE's broader vision of becoming a digitally enabled, innovation-first economy.
The platform's ability to simulate various business scenarios—such as mergers, restructurings, or cross-border transactions—gives CFOs and tax advisors the power to make informed decisions in advance, reducing risk exposure while enhancing strategic agility. This proactive approach is particularly valuable for companies operating in free zones or managing complex cross-jurisdictional operations.
'As the UAE becomes a global hub for AI and regulatory innovation, DhruvAI.tax is proud to support this transformation,' added Nimish. 'We see ourselves not just as a software provider, but as a strategic partner to businesses and governments striving for compliance excellence.'
DhruvAI.tax is currently expanding its footprint across the GCC, with plans to launch tailored modules for Saudi Arabia and Qatar in the coming year. As the region prepares for a more data-driven, transparent future, DhruvAI.tax is leading the charge—redefining the way enterprises navigate compliance in a rapidly changing world.

Google's Opal Makes AI App Creation Accessible
Google's latest innovation, Opal, has introduced a groundbreaking way for users to create artificial intelligence mini-applications using just natural language. This shift marks a significant leap in the growing trend of no-code platforms, where complex coding tasks are simplified, enabling non-technical users to build sophisticated apps with minimal effort. The launch of Opal signals a broader movement toward intuitive software development that allows individuals to build AI-powered tools with little to no knowledge of programming. Instead of writing lines of code, users can use plain English prompts to instruct Opal, making app creation far more accessible to anyone with an idea but lacking technical expertise. Opal allows users to create AI-powered applications by simply describing what they want the app to do. By processing these instructions, Opal translates them into functioning code that can perform tasks such as data analysis, content generation, or even automating certain workflows. Google's move comes as part of a wider shift towards simplifying AI for broader consumer use, enabling a more diverse set of creators to leverage this technology. ADVERTISEMENT This new tool is part of a broader trend in the tech industry, where no-code platforms are gaining traction as a way to democratise access to programming and AI. Platforms such as OpenAI's GPT-3 and other machine learning tools have already showcased the power of AI to the general public, but Opal takes this further by offering a user-friendly interface that eliminates the barrier of complex coding. Opal's appeal lies in its simplicity and versatility. Users can generate everything from custom chatbots to AI-enhanced data processors, with just a few sentences of description. The implications for industries such as e-commerce, education, and content creation are profound, as smaller businesses or independent creators can now develop applications without needing an extensive development team. The demand for such tools is growing. According to a report by Gartner, the no-code development market is expected to reach $45 billion by 2025, as companies seek faster, more cost-effective ways to build custom software. Opal is positioning itself as a significant player in this rapidly expanding market, bringing AI to the masses through simplicity and ease of use. Critics, however, argue that while platforms like Opal may enable a surge in app development, they could lead to oversimplification of complex tasks. AI is a highly nuanced field, and critics warn that such tools could make users overly reliant on automated processes, potentially leading to unintentional errors or misused technology. Despite these concerns, Opal's entry into the market represents a significant step in the evolution of AI accessibility. By leveraging the power of natural language processing, Google is not only advancing its own AI ambitions but also helping to shape the future of software development. With applications spanning across multiple sectors, Opal could help bridge the gap between highly technical AI tools and the everyday user, allowing for a more diverse set of applications to emerge in the AI space.
