Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Qabas partners with Eurisko Mobility to release innovative, AI-powered digital platform

By AIT News Desk On May 10, 2021

Al-Qabas, Kuwait’s top newspaper, just launched a state-of-the-art digital platform powered by Artificial Intelligence that includes a web portal, mobile app and cutting-edge Content Management System. This digital platform, designed and developed by Eurisko Mobility, will give readers on-the-go access to Al-Qabas TV, Al-Qabas audio books and their very own “My Page” section, a personalized news page tailored to each reader’s preferences.

“Engineers and user experience experts from Eurisko Mobility and content specialists from Al Qabas worked with a wide variety of focus groups – including users from different age groups and demographics – to create a truly unique and hyper personalized digital platform”, said Faisal Karkoh, Digital development manager at Al-Qabas.

“And despite a global pandemic that pushed teams online while working from home, Eurisko Mobility built this cutting-edge platform in six short months. Eurisko Mobility’s engineers created an automated process that minimizes the risk of human error, allowing for continuous delivery and feedback”, said Edgard Tawk, CEO at Eurisko Mobility.

Al Qabas is proud to be the first media outlet in the region to offer readers innovative features like an intelligent recommendation and search engine powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML). “Unlike other digital platforms and news apps, Al Qabas will bring readers recommended content they actually want to see instead of simply nudging them toward what’s most popular”, added Karkoh.

Working with regionally renowned developers from Eurisko Mobility, whose clients include American Express, MBC Group, Saudi Aramco, Al Hilal Bank, RightBite, Azadea Group and many others, AlQabas’s new platform is the result of six months of design iteration and continuous user feedback.
