Hadithi

An AI-powered Chatbot for Spiritual Guidance in a Modern World

Project Overview

Challenge

As a young Muslim navigating the modern world, I struggled to find guidance tailored to my cultural perspective. Mainstream self-help resources – from podcasts to books – contained helpful insights but didn’t cater to people who come from Islamic backgrounds.

 

I recognized a need for a platform to reconnect young Muslims like myself to principles that could aid our self-growth and spirituality. Hadithi was born out of this challenge. I conceived of an AI chatbot that could provide accessible guidance powered by Islamic teachings for facing contemporary difficulties.
