How much does AI cost for a clinic in Dubai?
For most Dubai clinics, AI for the front desk and back office starts with one Custom ChatGPT Skill for a single job, such as appointment enquiry replies, and then moves to a fixed-price START, GROW or RUN package. These are one-time implementation fees. Your clinic management system stays as it is, the AI never gives medical advice, and the only new ongoing cost is ChatGPT, paid to OpenAI.
The short answer
| Level | Price | Typical clinic scope |
|---|---|---|
| Custom Skill | AED 97 | One job: appointment reply desk, reminder writer or review reply writer. 30-day refund. |
| START | AED 3,500 | Reception and practice manager: appointment replies, reminders and instructions, review replies. |
| GROW | AED 7,500 | Front desk and back office: adds multilingual patient messages, insurance paperwork drafts, clinical-question routing, training. |
| RUN | AED 15,000 | Polyclinics or several branches: adds daily clinic brief, marketing drafts for approval, approvals and access rules. |

Why it costs less than you might expect
Healthcare AI is often sold as specialist clinical software, priced accordingly. Front-desk and back-office work is different: replies, reminders, paperwork and reviews. ChatGPT, set up on your own clinic information with strict routing rules, handles that writing for a fixed setup fee.
What changes the price
- Number of jobs: one is a Skill; replies plus reminders plus reviews is START.
- Insurance volume: paperwork drafting and routing rules suit GROW.
- Branches: several locations need access rules and a shared brief, which is RUN.
- Patient languages: each needs clinician-approved source text.
What is not included
- Your ChatGPT subscription, paid to OpenAI
- Clinic management or EMR changes
- Any clinical decision support, diagnosis or triage
