Kazakh startup SHAI, a resident of Astana Hub, has secured a $1 million investment from entrepreneur and primary beneficiary of Uzbekistan’s AVO Bank, Ruslan Adilbayev. This significant investment marks a major milestone for SHAI, unlocking new growth opportunities and accelerating the startup’s development trajectory.


SHAI specializes in building AI platforms that enable the creation of intelligent agents and virtual assistants. These solutions help streamline task execution, reduce errors, and enhance the security of personal data storage.
