Moneta 8 — Digital Product Studio, UAE
An independent technology studio based in the UAE. We design and develop our own digital products — combining genuine AI integration, rigorous security, and an obsessive attention to craft.
Discover OpenBook →Moneta 8 is an independent digital product studio based in the United Arab Emirates. Our focus is simple: build products we genuinely believe in, to a standard that makes us proud to put our name on them.
We are deeply invested in artificial intelligence — not as a buzzword, but as a practical tool we use every single day to design, build, and improve what we ship. AI is woven into our development process and into the products themselves.
Our first major release is OpenBook — a modern iOS communication app built for people who take their privacy seriously, without wanting to sacrifice a great experience to get it.
Zah Pishori is a technologist, product designer, and music producer with an eye for detail. His background spans creative production and software engineering — an unusual combination that shapes everything Moneta 8 builds.
Deeply immersed in the world of artificial intelligence, he works at the intersection of what technology can do and what people actually want to experience. OpenBook is the fullest expression of that thinking so far.
Hakeem brings four decades of business development and VIP relationship management across the region and beyond. His network spans industries, borders, and the highest levels of business — built through decades of trust, discretion, and results.
He is the bridge between what Moneta 8 builds and the people and institutions it matters to — bringing the credibility, reach, and judgment that only experience at that level can provide.
OpenBook is a modern messaging and social platform for iOS. It combines secure chat, expressive media, exclusive music, and meaningful social features — with an AI layer that makes the experience feel alive. Built from the ground up with real privacy, not the performative kind.
Why Shamir's Secret Sharing? Standard E2E protects messages in transit. Shamir's protects the key itself — like a safety deposit box needing three separate keys in three locations. Even if one is compromised, your data stays inaccessible. Privacy mathematically guaranteed.
We are genuinely obsessed with artificial intelligence — how it works, where it's going, and how to use it to build things that wouldn't have been possible before. Every product we ship has AI integrated into its core, not sprinkled on top.
"We don't just use AI to build faster. We use it to build things we couldn't have imagined building alone — and that changes what's possible."
