We’ve built the systems. We wanna help you build yours.
Lemon Intelligence is a Saudi technology consultancy. We work with founders and leadership teams on high-scale infrastructure, e-commerce, fintech, data, AI and geospatial solutions, as your CTO or on the one problem that can’t go wrong.
How we work with you
-
CTO as a service
Senior technical leadership without a full-time hire. Architecture, team, vendors and roadmap, and a clear answer when the board asks.
-
Engineering consultation
Focused engagements on one hard problem: a platform that has to scale, a migration that can’t fail, a model that has to earn its keep.

Research
Tharb
An independent research lab founded by Lemon Intelligence, working on machines that write Arabic the way its finest writers do.
Tharb builds language models, tools for writers and editors, and benchmarks that weigh what machines produce. Its first study, of about 15,000 Arabic publications from 2011 to 2026, found machine-written text on major news platforms rising from almost none before ChatGPT to about a fifth in 2026.
