Saudi AI Firm Humain Debuts Agentic OS as Aramco Signs Term Sheet for Minority Stake

Backed by the Public Investment Fund, the startup is targeting dual listings within four years.

Overview

  • Humain launched Humain One, an agentic operating system that uses an orchestration engine and its Arabic-first Allam model to automate enterprise tasks through natural-language commands.
  • The system is already in use across Saudi government departments with pilot programmes at three PIF entities, with plans for broader international rollout.
  • PIF and Aramco signed a non-binding term sheet for Aramco to acquire a minority stake, with both groups saying they intend to combine AI assets and expertise under Humain while PIF remains the majority owner.
  • Partnerships include EY for enterprise integration, Groq for ultra-fast inference hosted in Dammam, and Replit for developer upskilling, with a Google partnership disclosed, a planned AWS collaboration, and meetings held with OpenAI.
  • Chief executive Tareq Amin said Humain aims to list on the Saudi exchange and NASDAQ within three to four years, sources chips from NVIDIA, AMD, Qualcomm and Groq, and may receive investment from an unnamed major supplier.
