In China, I saw the future of business consulting.
Robots that think, analyze, and advise executives just like human consultants—but they never sleep, constantly improving rational and emotional decision-making capabilities, and never get tired of complex data.”
—Hatem Elkady, CEO of Diamond Professional Consultants.
In this article, you’ll explore:

The Mission: Integrating ZAKAA with Robotic Systems.
Recently, our [CEO] Hatem ElKady and [CTO] Anas Elkhateeb from Diamond Professional Consultants took a trip to China with a clear purpose—to explore how ZAKAA’s AI-powered decision intelligence platform could be integrated into robotic systems for executive consulting in the Middle East and Africa that could analyze data, predict market trends, and give strategic advice to executives.
For years, ZAKAA has been helping government officials and business leaders make faster, smarter decisions through AI-powered analytics. Now we’re taking the next step: putting this intelligence into robot consultants that executives can interact with naturally.
Our goal is simple — to distribute robotic consultants powered by ZAKAA across the MEA region, providing leaders with access to over 300+ AI-optimized strategic KPIs, real-time advanced analytics, and predictive insights through intelligent robotic interfaces.
What Makes a Robot Consultant Special?
- They need sleep.
- They can be influenced by emotions.
- They might miss patterns in huge amounts of data.
But robot consultants powered by AI systems like ZAKAA? They’re different.
Here’s what makes them game-changers:
➤ They Understand Context: When you ask your current software a question, it shows you charts and numbers. When you ask a robot consultant powered by ZAKAA, it will understand what you’re really asking and give you strategic insight.
For example, instead of just showing you that sales dropped 15%, it explains why sales dropped, what this means for your quarterly goals, and suggests three specific actions you can take.
➤ They Learn Your Business Style:Unlike generic AI systems, ZAKAA is designed for specific industries. Whether you’re in
- Government & Public Sector
- Aerospace & Defense
- Healthcare & Life Sciences
- Energy & Utilities
- Telecom & Communication
- Industrial & Manufacturing
- Hospitality & Tourism
ZAKAA AI-powered robot consultant understands the unique challenges and opportunities in your sector. These robots don’t give generic advice. They learn how your organization works, what challenges you face in your industry, and how you prefer to receive information.
If you’re in government, your robot consultant understands public sector budgeting. If you run an oil company, it knows energy market dynamics. If you manage healthcare, it grasps patient care economics.
➤ They Connect Everything:Your robot consultant doesn’t work in isolation. It connects with your existing systems—your ERP software, HR systems, customer databases—and brings all that information together in one intelligent view.
How This Changes FP&A and Executives’ Daily Work.
Let’s walk through what your typical day might look like with a robot consultant:
✦ Morning Brief: Instead of reading multiple reports, you ask your robot: “What do I need to know today?” It gives you a summary of key changes, potential issues, and opportunities that developed overnight.
✦ Quick Decisions: When someone asks for budget approval, instead of requesting a detailed analysis from your team, you ask your robot: “What happens if we approve this spending?” You get an instant impact analysis.
✦ Strategic Planning: During planning sessions, instead of guessing about market conditions, you ask your robot to run different scenarios. “What if oil prices drop by 20%?” “What if we hire 50 more people?” You see the results immediately.
Our CEO and CTO met with Advanced Robotics Systems in China.
During China’s robotic industry exploration, our CTO engaged directly with advanced robotics platforms designed for business applications. These weren’t entertainment robots or factory machines— although it’s there! But what our CTO saw were sophisticated systems built to interact with executives and provide strategic guidance for better decisions.

Your Concerns About Robot Consultants.
You probably have questions about bringing robot consultants into your organization. Let’s address the most common concerns:
Will robots replace human consultants?
Robot consultants work alongside human experts, not instead of them. They handle data analysis and routine questions, freeing human consultants to focus on creative problem-solving and relationship building.
Can robots understand our culture and context?
ZAKAA is designed specifically for Middle Eastern organizations. It understands Arabic language nuances, regional business practices, and cultural considerations that generic AI systems miss.
Is this technology secure enough for sensitive business data?
ZAKAA includes enterprise-level security features, role-based access controls, and compliance with international data protection standards. Many government organizations already trust it with sensitive information.
Why do the Middle East and Africa need robot consultants?
You’re probably asking: Why bring robot consultants to our region? Don’t we have enough human consultants already?
The answer isn’t simple. Robot consultants aren’t meant to replace human judgment and creativity. Instead, they’re designed to enhance human decision-making by providing better data, faster insights, and more accurate predictions.
Think of it like having a calculator. Calculators didn't replace mathematicians—they made
mathematicians more powerful. Robot consultants work the same way for business executives.The truth is, the Middle East and Africa face unique business challenges. Government officials need to make accurate and faster decisions that affect millions of people. Oil and gas executives must navigate volatile markets. Healthcare leaders manage complex resources across diverse populations.
Traditional consulting takes time—sometimes weeks or months to analyze data and provide recommendations. But what if you could get intelligent insights in minutes? What if your “consultant” could predict what will happen, why it happened, what will happen, and what should be done next [next month, next quarter, or next year]?
What does this mean for Middle Eastern Leaders?
If you’re a CEO, government minister, or department head in the Middle East, this technology could transform how you work. Instead of waiting for monthly reports, you could ask your robot consultant: “How is our department performing today?” Instead of guessing about budget impacts, you could ask: “What happens if we increase spending by 15%?”
What does this mean for Your Organization?
If you lead a team, department, or organization in the Middle East, robot consultants could transform how you work. Instead of waiting for reports, you get instant insights. Instead of guessing about outcomes, you see predictions based on real data. Instead of making decisions in isolation, you have an AI advisor available 24/7.
The videos of our CEO and CTO interacting with robots in China aren’t just interesting footage—they’re previews of how business will be conducted in the very near future.
Your Next Step.
The robot consultant revolution is starting. Organizations that adopt this technology early will have significant advantages over those that wait. They’ll make faster decisions, spot opportunities sooner, and solve problems before they become crises.
We’re planning to bring robot consultants to the Middle East and Africa, starting with organizations that need fast, intelligent decision support. Government ministries, oil companies, healthcare systems, and telecommunications providers are all potential early adopters.
The question you need to ask yourself isn’t whether robot consultants will change business in the Middle East. The question is: Will your organization be ready when they arrive?
The vision is ambitious but clear:
Distribute robot consultants across the Middle East and Africa, giving executives access to AI-powered decision intelligence wherever they are, whenever they want. – Anas Elkhatib 🇵🇸
