Humain, a Saudi Arabian AI company, has unveiled a conversational AI app trained on one of the world’s largest Arabic datasets, as part of its strategy to become a leading AI figure.
Powered by the company’s Allam large language model, the Humain Chat app supports real-time web search, Arabic speech input across dialects, bilingual switching between Arabic and English and conversation sharing. It also claims to comply fully with Saudi Arabia’s data protection laws.
Humain Chat is now publicly available on web, iOS, and Android platforms. It is initially available in Saudi Arabia with a regional rollout across the Middle East and global expansion to follow.
The company, launched in May by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and the Public Investment Fund (PIF), claimed ALLAM 34B is the most advanced large language model developed in the Arab world. It noted Humain Chat will continue to improve with consumer use post launch.
The chatbot was built from the ground up by a diverse team of 120 AI specialists hosted in Saudi Arabia
CEO Tareq Amin, formerly with Rakuten Symphony, hailed the launch as “a historic milestone in our mission to build sovereign AI that is both technically advanced and culturally authentic”.
“We are proving that globally competitive technologies can be rooted in our own language, infrastructure and values, built in Saudi Arabia by Saudi talent”, he stated.
