careem launches ai tool to convert grocery lists to online orders

Careem—the “everything app” for the Middle East — has introduced an AI-powered feature to simplify grocery shopping through its service. The new Grocery List tool allows users to upload a photo of a handwritten list or enter items manually, which the system then scans and converts into a curated set of product matches.

The tool uses AI to extract individual items from a list — typed or photographed — and presents customers with a single, scrollable page of suggested products. Users can then review, edit, and check out their order in one step, removing the need to search for items manually.

Chase Lario, VP of Careem Groceries, said the goal was to “remove unnecessary steps” and make the process as “efficient and intuitive” as possible. The tool is designed to support time-pressed customers looking for a faster way to handle routine grocery needs.

The feature is now available within the Careem app under the “Groceries” section. It builds on Careem’s existing grocery delivery service, which operates in Dubai and Abu Dhabi with fulfilment times averaging 15 minutes. Careem Plus members continue to receive free delivery alongside benefits across other categories, including rides, food, and domestic services.

The update reflects a wider push among mobility and delivery platforms to integrate AI for practical, time-saving applications in everyday services.

A Three-Clinic Network Bets Dubai Is Ready For Longevity Medicine

Longevium has enlisted nearly 100 clinicians and created an AI platform in a bid to sell biological-age tracking as a medicine, not a wellness service.

a three-clinic network bets dubai is ready for longevity medicine

Dubai has been busily creating the scaffolding for a longevity industry, including a dedicated regulatory authority and a health market deep enough to sustain it. Now the clinics are arriving.

Longevium, a longevity clinic network, has opened three locations across the city: a flagship at Triple Seven Mall on Jumeirah 3, and branches in Jumeirah Lake Towers and Jumeirah Village Circle. Together they house a multidisciplinary team of nearly 100 physicians and specialists offering what the company bills as “a measurable medical system for longevity”.

The pitch is that longevity medicine should look less like a wellness menu and more like continuous clinical care. Each patient’s biological age assessment, laboratory results, body composition, cardiovascular risk factors, metabolic markers, and lifestyle data feed into a single profile, with a proprietary AI platform helping physicians track progress and adjust protocols against the patient’s own biomarkers.

“Healthy aging must be approached clinically through diagnostics, biomarkers, physician supervision, longitudinal tracking, and protocols tailored to the individual,” said Dr. Ksenia Butova, Longevium’s founder and CEO. “Our goal is to help patients understand their health trajectory before disease develops, and then actively change that trajectory”.

The treatment list spans peptide-based protocols, exosome therapies, stem cell approaches, GLP-1 metabolic optimization, hormone balance programs, cardiovascular prevention, and regenerative aesthetics — a model built for the entrepreneurs, executives, and international patients the clinic says want measurable results rather than generic wellness. A signature offering, Longevity Day, compresses biomarker testing, ultrasound and vascular imaging, specialist consultations, IV therapy, and a personalized optimization roadmap into a single three-hour visit.

“Here, longevity, biotechnology, AI, prevention, and regenerative medicine are converging into a single ecosystem,” said Butova. “This is why Longevium was built in Dubai, and why we believe the UAE can become a global reference point for longevity medicine”.

The emirate established the Dubai Longevity Authority in 2026 to oversee its longevity, wellness, and advanced health sectors, and the Dubai Health Authority reported insured beneficiaries exceeding 4.9 million in 2025, up around 6.5%, with insurance claims reaching approximately 49.6 million, up around 13.5%.
