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.
— AI scope
What we build for Afghan workflows.
Agentic workflows
Multi-step agents with tool use, human-in-the-loop on Afghan regulated decisions.
AI governance
Audit logging, guardrails, content moderation — aligned with Afghan donor and government requirements.
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.
