Salam Chat is an AI powered chatbot designed to help individuals learn more about Islam. The chatbot has been trained by scholars and provides inline citations to the Quran and Hadith, with the content gated by the Shahada. Salam Chat has a halal filter that only answers questions within the scope of Islam, making it safe for kids. The chatbot is presently free to use, and the developers generate no revenue from it. Salam Chat is a volunteer-driven and open-source project that relies on engineers, designers, and Islamic scholars to curate the model and continuously improve its functionality.Users of Salam Chat can be confident in the accuracy of the information suggested by the chatbot, as all Islamic text is supported by citations that users can refer to and further explore on their own. The tool is also designed with a curation system to weed out false or misleading information, with input from scholars invited to assist in its further development.The team behind Salam Chat has ambitious plans for its future, with a range of features planned for inclusion on its roadmap. Salam Chat is a project of Minority Think Tank Foundation 501(c)3, and users may donate, should they choose to do so.
