Mehan’s Arabic AI Platform Aims to Revolutionise LinkedIn Content Creation

It’s always interesting how new tools pop up in the region to solve problems most of us didn’t even realise were shared. And believe it or not, LinkedIn content is one of those headaches. I’ve lost count of how many founders I’ve met through Arageek who tell me the same thing: writing a single post can take ages, and keeping up a steady presence feels like a bit of a faff. So when I came across the details of Mehan, a new Arabic AI platform built specifically for LinkedIn, I reckoned it tapped into something real.

Mehan describes itself as a specialised content‑management tool for professionals who want to publish better and faster on LinkedIn. It’s still in its MVP phase, but the team seems to have packed in quite a mix of features already. The idea is straightforward: instead of using general AI tools that don’t really get the platform’s rhythm, Mehan promises tailored content that fits the professional tone LinkedIn demands.

The platform tackles a few common hurdles. Many users struggle with the time it takes to shape a post; others aren’t quite sure what topics to pick next. Mehan tries to solve that through AI suggestions based on each user’s profile, offering ready-made writing styles and even automatic scheduling through a visual calendar. Drafts, scheduled posts and published updates appear in different colours, which—speaking from experience—makes planning content a lot less messy.

One thing that stood out to me is the range of writing tones. Users can choose Modern Standard Arabic or specific regional dialects like Saudi, Egyptian, Levantine, Gulf or Maghrebi, and even adjust how formal the message should sound. That said, what really caught my eye was the seven preset writing styles. These cover everything from storytelling and personal transformation pieces to practical problem-solving posts and client-focused marketing messages. For many professionals who struggle to vary their content, this could be spot on.

There’s also a direct integration with LinkedIn, so users can log in, import profile details and publish within the platform itself. Mehan sends expiry reminders too, which feels like a tiny detail but shows they’ve actually thought about real-world behaviour—not just flashy features. On the flip side, I’m not a fan of relying too heavily on automation for personal branding, but that’s more of a general caution than a critique of the tool itself.

Perhaps the most unique addition is Mehan’s Ikigai feature, which helps users identify their professional purpose by analysing their CV. It breaks things down into four circles: what you love, what you’re good at, what the market needs and what you can be paid for. From there, it generates a guiding statement to shape your content direction. The platform even includes a CV rewriter with modes for students, fresh grads, mid-level employees and executives, plus a carousel generator for PDFs, a six‑month career roadmap and a photo gallery to keep visuals organised. A full-on toolkit, really… well, mostly.

Pricing comes in structured tiers. There’s a free basic plan with 10 credits, then the Standard subscription at $29 per month with 100 credits, followed by the Pro tier with 200 credits. A Premium plan offers unlimited use and priority support at $199. New users get a three‑day free trial for Standard and Pro. It’s a model we’ve seen before, but it seems fair enough for a niche tool.

The backstory behind Mehan has a nice human touch too. The founders met when one of them, Imran, was a student working on a SaaS project called Medad. The other had been trying for years to launch a product focused on understanding user behaviour. One loved to build; the other loved figuring out why things should be built in the first place. As they describe it, each of their earlier projects was missing “the second half”, so they joined forces. What started as an idea sitting on a shelf eventually grew into a platform used by Arab professionals trying to strengthen their LinkedIn presence. I’ve seen similar partnerships form in the MENA startup scene—it’s often the unexpected match-ups that lead to solid products.

Mehan positions itself as an Arabic-first platform that truly understands the ecosystem it serves. For many in the region who find LinkedIn content a bit intimidating or time-consuming, it might be a helpful push. And if it encourages more professionals here to share their experiences openly, I’m chuffed to bits to see where that leads.
