About DATIQAI
We are building the AI Executive Intelligence Operating System for Higher Education.
Every university has a data team. Few have an executive intelligence layer. DATIQAI exists to bridge that gap — turning SIS records, financials, accreditation evidence, and strategic plans into auditable, plain-English intelligence that presidents, provosts, boards, and ministries actually use.
Our mission
Decision intelligence, by default.
To give every university president the same caliber of strategic intelligence Fortune 500 CEOs get from McKinsey — at SaaS scale, for higher education exclusively.
DATIQAI does one thing: it makes the operating dashboard of a modern university an AI-native experience. Twelve modules across executive, enrollment, financial, accreditation, research, international, ranking, risk, scenario planning, copilot, board reporting, and ministry reporting — every one of them grounded in your institutional data, with citations to source rows.
We are headquartered in Muscat with a satellite office in Dubai. We hire kind, deeply curious people who care about higher education's future.
Four ideas that shape the product.
Decisions over dashboards
Most BI tools end at the chart. We start there. Every DATIQAI surface is engineered for a presidential decision, not just a view.
Honest AI
Every AI answer cites the rows behind it. If we cannot ground an answer in your institutional data, we say so out loud.
Higher-Education native
FERPA-aligned isolation, NCAAA evidence library, ministry-grade reporting — built into day one, not sold as add-ons.
Institution obsession
We measure success by the metric our universities move — retention, financial sustainability, accreditation readiness, ranking.
