Saudi Arabia Unveils HUMAIN Chat: The First Arabic AI App Powered by ALLAM 34B
HUMAIN Chat is built for the more than 400 million Arabic speakers and 2 billion Muslims worldwide who have been underserved by generative AI.
HUMAIN , a Public Investment Fund (PIF) company building end-to-end AI capabilities, today announced the launch of HUMAIN Chat, a next-generation Arabic conversational AI app powered by ALLAM 34B, HUMAIN’s flagship Arabic large language model.
Available on web, iOS, and Android, HUMAIN Chat is launching first in Saudi Arabia as a national milestone, with regional rollout across the Middle East and global expansion to follow soon. Built in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, for the Arabic-speaking world, HUMAIN Chat represents a defining step in sovereign AI designed for cultural depth, linguistic equity, and global competitiveness.
HUMAIN Chat is built for the more than 400 million Arabic speakers and 2 billion Muslims worldwide who have been underserved by generative AI. For the first time, people can create, learn, and connect in their own language, culture, and context.
Powered by ALLAM 34B, the app closes a historic gap in digital inclusion and enabling linguistic equality. HUMAIN Chat brings culturally intelligent responses grounded in our language, values, heritage and history.
Features designed for real-world use include:
- Real-time web search for always up-to-date knowledge.
- Arabic speech input across multiple dialects.
- Seamless bilingual switching between Arabic and English within the same conversation.
- Conversation sharing to enable collaboration and reuse.
- Full compliance with Saudi PDPL, hosted end-to-end on HUMAIN infrastructure in the Kingdom.
This is more than an app, it is the first release in our HUMAIN IQ portfolio: a new generation of AI model products and solutions where scientific depth meets responsible design.
“The launch of HUMAIN Chat is a point of pride for Saudi Arabia, marking 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. This is not the end state, but the beginning of a journey to serve the Kingdom, the Arabic-speaking world, and beyond. The potential is limitless, accelerating innovation and progress across every dimension of commercial and social life.”
