TheyChat: A Digital Journey with the Sahaba


TheyChat is a Digital Humanities project that brings the lives and exemplary morals of the Sahaba the founding generation of Islamic civilization to life for today’s digital generation. We built this platform by scanning tens of thousands of pages from classical Arabic sources like Ibn Sa'd's Tabaqat and Shamail literature turning historical data into an AI powered interactive experience.

Key Features

Interactive Conversations: You can learn about the lives and memories of the Companions through written or voice based chats.
Data Driven Visuals: We use a rigorous process involving historians and art directors to create symbolic digital representations based on anthropological data.
Growing Library: We feature a diverse range of figures from 7th century Hijaz society with new Companions added in every version.
Educational Focus: Our goal is to help younger users form an emotional bond with the Sahaba and see them as real life role models.

Ethical Boundaries
A quick note on our ethical boundaries: all portraits are symbolic digital representations based on scientific data. Most importantly out of respect for our faith Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is never visualized.
