This day is such a wonderful reminder to pause and reinforce our promise:

To keep showing up for this community.
To share our learnings (the wins AND the wobbles!).
To keep the conversation going.
To never stop asking "how can we make this better?"
To help brands in our region and beyond listen better, understand deeper, and act smarter.

To celebrate every CX victory with YOU!

Reflecting on this, our CTO Dr. Zuhair Khayyat confirms:

1. "Companies that are afraid of the customer voice or ignore the customer voice won't last long."

Customers who stop complaining haven't necessarily become satisfied; they've often simply disengaged. In other words, having fewer problems doesn't guarantee your survival in the market. Your organization must be willing to confront problems with integrity. Customer-centricity without the institutional courage to hear bad news is performance art, not strategy.

2. "First time, second time, third time. If you're not there to hear them out, there won't be a fourth time."

Your service recovery window is narrower than you think. Organizations that design for relationship depth while ignoring response speed are only solving half the equation. Ignore a customer twice and thrice, and by the fourth time, they’re already considering alternatives.

3. "If your competitor is having a bad day, this is your chance to actually jump in and get those clients to yourself."

Customer intelligence must extend beyond your own customer base. The most actionable insights often come from understanding why people choose against alternatives, including you. Competitor monitoring should be seen as an offensive customer acquisition strategy rather than a defensive one.

We’ve successfully renewed our SOC2 certification for the third year in a row

Our CTO Dr. Zuhair was the first to admit that when Lucidya started the SOC2 journey, he expected it to work like most certifications: pass the test, frame the certificate, done. In reality, maintaining that standard for three years straight came with its own set of lessons, and this is what we learned along the way:

How do you build AI for a language as rich and diverse as Arabic? | AWS for AI Podcast

Our CTO & Co-founder, Dr. Zuhair Khayyat, joined the AWS for AI Podcast to explain how we were able to build customer experience technology when the customers speak a language most technology ignores.

The podcast digs into why these principles become even more critical when building technology for Arabic, a language where dialects differ as much as separate languages, where sarcasm and context carry more weight than vocabulary, and where most global platforms still get the basics wrong. Dr. Zuhair explains how Lucidya approaches these challenges, what works, and what remains difficult.

Exclusive Report: Unveiling the digital pulse of summer travel 2025

While travelers filled cabins this summer, they also filled timelines. From cabin selfies to viral moments, Emirates, Qatar Airways, and Kuwait Airways became the center of a global online conversation.

We tracked the buzz across platforms and turned it into a report that shows the full story behind the noise. Powered by Lucidya’s social listening tools, it reveals how airlines were talked about, praised, and challenged, and what it means for customer experience.
