Founded in 2024, Monta AI builds tools designed to enhance business performance using large language models (LLMs) and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems to drive measurable growth for its clients.

The startup’s flagship product is an AI assistant capable of processing sensitive enterprise data in multilingual environments, including Arabic, while complying with strict local regulations. Monta AI also develops voice-based systems for digital assistants and contact centers, designed to understand complex contexts and interactions.

Another core offering is its Custom Agentic Solutions, intelligent agents that can reason, plan, and act autonomously to achieve defined business goals. These agents integrate with internal corporate systems to automate complex workflows and deliver quantifiable outcomes. The company also provides AI consulting services, guiding organizations from assessment and strategy through deployment and optimization.

Before launching Monta AI, Maher co-founded Trustious in 2012, a platform that helped consumers make purchasing decisions by aggregating reliable product reviews. In 2014, he founded Homna.com, an Egyptian online furniture marketplace.

Maher holds a bachelor’s degree in business informatics from the German University in Cairo (2009). He joined ITWORX in 2015, where he served as product director and later as head of global market development for advanced analytics and big data.

From 2016 to 2022, Maher worked at Esri, a global leader in geographic information systems, where he held successive roles including business development manager, head of AI and machine learning practice, and director of AI. Between 2022 and 2023, he served as director of product marketing at Parallel Domain, a company specializing in synthetic data generation for AI systems.
