About Thurix

A small studio that ships AI that survives the real world.

We're engineers who got tired of AI that dies in the demo — so we build the parts everyone skips, and we stay after launch. Here's who we are, and why we work this way.

Why we exist

Most AI never leaves the slide deck. We build the kind that runs your business.

Thurix started from a simple frustration: watching impressive AI demos fall apart the moment real customers, real data, and real edge cases showed up. The gap was never the model — it was everything around it. The retries, the guardrails, the monitoring, the integrations, and a person in the loop when the stakes are high.

So we built a studio around that missing 90%. We ship production systems — a live logistics platform, multilingual support bots, cold-outreach engines, an LLM trading analyst — and we run them ourselves. That's how we know they hold up, and it's why we can say launch is the start of the work, not the end.

From the founder

"I started as a mechanical engineer and spent close to a decade as a backend developer before building Drofilla — the platform we now run in production. I kept watching companies pay for AI that looked great in a pitch and broke in a week. Thurix is my answer: a team that's on the hook for the thing actually working, and staying working."

What we believe

Four things we don't compromise on.

We ship, we don't pitch

Everything we show runs in production or paper-trading right now. We'd rather hand you a working system than a deck full of promises.

One team, whole stack

Backend, frontend, mobile, AI, and design in one room. No vendor handoffs, no seams where responsibility gets dropped.

You buy an outcome

We scope to the result and the ROI, agree on what "working" means, then build to it — so you own an asset, not a timesheet.

We stay after go-live

Launch is the start of the relationship. We keep what we build healthy so it keeps earning its place.

The team

One team, every discipline.

The same crew from first spec to systems running in production.

Where we are

Built in Cairo. Working across the Gulf, EU, and US.

We're based in Cairo — which puts us in the working hours of the Gulf and Europe, with a morning overlap into the US East Coast. We work natively in Arabic and English, and we're built for the Gulf market: close enough to understand it, and set up to serve it properly.

  • Arabic & English, natively
  • Timezone overlap with Gulf, EU & US mornings
  • Gulf-first, with a live US operation to prove it
  • A senior team you talk to directly — no account-manager layer
