AI development for Israeli companies

What Israeli teams usually ask for

Israel has a large technology sector, so many buyers here already know what a language model can do. They come to an outside team for capacity, not for an introduction. A product team needs a retrieval assistant over its documentation. A services firm wants incoming messages sorted in Hebrew, English and sometimes Russian or Arabic. A shop wants a support bot that does not invent return policies.

Our work falls into four kinds of project, each described on its own service page.

• Chatbots over your own content, see AI chatbot development.
• Agents that take actions in your systems, with approval steps.
• Workflow automation with AI steps, see AI automation.
• Internal tools: search over documents, summaries of calls, draft generators.

Hebrew is not just English backwards

None of these stops a project. All of them need a test set of real Hebrew examples from you. We ask for fifty to a hundred typical messages or questions in the first week and use them to compare options.

Privacy law and data flows

Israel's Protection of Privacy Law was amended by Amendment 13, which entered into force in August 2025. The Privacy Protection Authority supervises it. The changes touch matters such as database obligations, enforcement powers and the role of a privacy officer in some organizations. We are not lawyers, and the exact duties depend on what data you hold, so ask your counsel which of them apply.

What we do is make the data flow visible. For each project we write a one-page diagram: what personal data enters the system, which model provider sees it, where it is stored, who in our team can access it and when it is deleted. Your lawyer can work from that page. Where possible we mask names and ID numbers before text reaches a model, and we choose providers that offer a no-training setting for business use. The European Union has recognized Israel as providing adequate data protection, which matters if you also serve European customers.

Project steps

1. Discovery callWe choose one use case, list the data and decide how success will be judged.
2. Test setYou supply real Hebrew and English examples. We build a small evaluation sheet from them.
3. PrototypeA working version in one to three weeks, run against the test set.
4. HardeningLogging, rate limits, approval steps for risky actions and a fallback when the model is unsure.
5. HandoverCode and accounts in your name, a runbook and a short training session.

The Israeli work week and time zone

The Israeli working week runs from Sunday to Thursday, with Friday often a short day and Saturday as the weekly rest. Our team works Monday to Friday, so Sunday calls need to be booked early and Thursday is the last full day we share. Israel is about three and a half hours behind India in winter and about two and a half in summer, so the overlap is comfortable on both sides. We plan around Israeli holidays at the start of the project.

Price

Projects start at $1,500 and the rate is $30 an hour. A prototype with one data source sits at the low end. More languages, more integrations and stricter logging raise it. The factors are listed in the AI chatbot cost guide. Our wider Israel offer is on the SEO page for Israel and the Israel hub.
