AI Agent Stack for Dubai and the UAE Investment Hub

A fund or product group in the UAE often has the model. It still pays separately for data, the agent run, and a place to execute the memo’s code. SandBase is that one account:

• 2,000+ models and data APIs across 100+ platforms, drawn from a single balance
• Agents you keep and Sessions you open, in the OpenAI Agents and OpenAgentCore shapes
• An E2B-compatible sandbox when the work must read files or run a command
• SKILL.md so a coding assistant can find the catalog

Agents and sandboxes can start with no charge. Eligible data APIs share 100 free calls per day per organization, and the pool resets at 00:00 UTC. Model use is billed apart from that—read the listing before a large run.

Send requests to https://api.sandbase.ai/v1 with Authorization: Bearer $SANDBASE_API_KEY.

These public pages describe the city and the country. They are not a SandBase office.

• Startup Genome’s Dubai profile for the Global Startup Ecosystem Report 2026 reports an ecosystem value of $30 billion for H2 2023–2025, including active unicorns, and $2.6 billion of early-stage funding in that window.
• Digital Dubai says the Dubai Digital Authority was formed to establish Dubai as a safe digital city with a globally leading digital economy.
• The UAE Government’s artificial intelligence page lists government AI topics that include Agentic AI for Government Services and Create apps in Dubai.

SandBase is the API under that investment and digital-government mix: one key, not a new vendor for every dataset or model.

1. Issue one SandBase API key in the Console for the organization.
2. Define the Agent with a model, instructions, and tools, using POST /v1/agents or the OpenAI SDK.
3. When projection_status is ready, create a Session and send the task.
4. If the task needs files or a script, use the E2B SDK at https://sandbox.sandbase.ai.
5. Or connect SKILL.md and let the assistant discover, inspect, and run.

The OpenAI Python SDK pattern from the SandBase docs, with instructions for Dubai and UAE readers.

import os
from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    api_key=os.environ["SANDBASE_API_KEY"],
    base_url="https://api.sandbase.ai/v1",
)

agent = client.beta.agents.create(
    model="deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash",
    name="Dubai investment brief",
    instructions=(
        "Write for a Dubai and UAE investment audience. "
        "Compare more than one source and cite each."
    ),
    metadata={"city": "dubai", "team": "uae"},
)

print(agent.id, agent.version)  # agt_..., 1
# Open a Session only after projection_status is ready.

curl -X POST https://api.sandbase.ai/v1/agents/sessions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SANDBASE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"agent_id": "agt_..."}'

Keep scripts and files in a sandbox. Start with the Sandbox quickstart.

If you searched for an AI agent API Dubai teams can adopt while keeping the OpenAI Agents SDK, SandBase is that API. The same key serves builders elsewhere in the UAE.

Use these public pages. Do not add a SandBase office, a phone number, or a latency figure for Dubai:

• Startup Genome — Dubai ecosystem
• Digital Dubai
• UAE Government — artificial intelligence

The ecosystem-value and early-stage funding figures are Startup Genome’s for GSER 2026. Digital Dubai is the source for the safe-digital-city line. The UAE Government portal is the source for the agentic-government and Create apps in Dubai topics. SandBase does not claim a public Dubai phone number or a city-specific latency SLA on this page.
