Afghan AI work is mostly about practical workflows, not demos.
Most international AI consulting in Afghanistan is demo-driven: a 2-week pilot that impresses leadership and never reaches production. The pilots fail to ship because production AI needs governance, audit trails, observability, and operational discipline, areas where most demo teams have no experience.
NETLINKS' AI work in Afghanistan starts from production. Every agent we build has: grounded retrieval (answers cite specific Afghan-source documents), Dari/Pashto language support where workflows need it, human-in-the-loop gates on regulated decisions (banking, government), audit trails (compliant with donor audits), and observability (latency, accuracy tracked in real-time).
Pricing: paid 4-week AI pilot $25-60K, production deployment $50-200K, managed services 15-25% of build cost annually.

Odoo-embedded AI
AI inside Odoo workflows, invoice classification, ticket triage, procurement queries.
Multi-language AI
Models trained / configured for Dari, Pashto, Arabic content. Multilingual retrieval.
AI training + enablement
Afghan teams trained on responsible AI usage, prompt engineering, evaluation.
, Questions
Afghan AI consulting, questions we hear.
Can AI work for Dari and Pashto content?
Yes, GPT-4 / Claude / Gemini have reasonable Dari / Pashto capability for most workflows. Quality varies by domain; some specialized terminology needs prompt tuning or RAG-based grounding. We measure quality empirically on your specific use case rather than promising generic 'multilingual support.'
What about Afghan-government AI procurement?
AI procurement for Afghan government / donor-funded programs follows standard procurement processes with additional considerations for data residency, audit requirements, and donor-approval cycles. We've delivered AI components within broader donor-funded program engagements.
What does an Afghan AI engagement cost?
Pilot: $25-60K for 4 weeks ending in deployed prototype. Production deployment: $50-200K. Multi-year managed services 15-25% of build cost annually.
