Saudi AI firm Humain launches Allam-powered AI app; to rival Abu Dhabi’s Falcon

Saudi Arabia’s leading AI Humain has announced a conversational AI chatbot built on the Allam large language model (LLM). According to a Bloomberg report, the app called Humain Chat is designed around Islamic values and heritage. It supports conversations in both Arabic and English and can understand several Arabic dialects, including Egyptian and Lebanese. For now, Humain Chat is available only in Saudi Arabia.

The report quotes Humain CEO Tareq Amin saying the launch was a “historic milestone in our mission to build sovereign AI that is both technically advanced and culturally authentic,” adding that the app was developed in Saudi Arabia by Saudi talent.
