Salam Chat

Salam Chat is an AI-powered chatbot designed to help people learn about Islam in a more accessible and trustworthy way. Inline citations to the Quran and Hadith mean all Islamic text is sourced so you can read and verify the information. The chatbot is trained by scholars and gated by the Shahada, and it has a halal filter that means it won't answer questions outside the realm of Islam.

Some of the key features of Salam Chat include:

• Citations to Quran and Hadith: All Islamic text is sourced, so you can read and verify the information.
• Halal Filter: Ensures that the chatbot only answers questions within the scope of Islam, so it's safe for kids.
• Curation by Scholars: Incorrect information can be marked and corrected with the help of Islamic scholars.
• Open-Source and Volunteer-Driven: The project is open to contributions from engineers, designers, and scholars to improve and curate the model.

Salam Chat is most useful for people looking for a reliable and trustworthy way to learn about Islam. The project's focus on citations and curation ensures the information is accurate. Though it's free and donation-supported for now, Salam Chat plans to add more features on its roadmap with the help of volunteers and supporters. So far, that includes Islamic scholars, designers and developers who help train and improve the model. Check the Salam Chat website to learn more and try it out.
