We build Barq — the Arabic AI that answers from its sources, cites its evidence, and never fabricates.
Salsabeel is the house — the sovereign Arabic AI lab that builds Barq and raises its family. Just as every leading AI has a lab behind it, Salsabeel is the lab behind Barq.
«عَيْنًا فِيهَا تُسَمَّىٰ سَلْسَبِيلًا» — Al-Insān 18
Salsabeel is a spring of Paradise — pure, clear, and effortless to drink. We took the name because Arabic knowledge should flow the same way: clear, easy to grasp, and from a trusted source — not translation, not guesswork.
Barq answers in Arabic from authentic sources and shows its evidence: a verse with its location, a hadith with its chain, a line of poetry with its author. It never fabricates — and if it finds no evidence, it stops.
Every verse, number and line is retrieved from a verified knowledge layer — never generated from memory.
An explicit Arabic root layer, measured by meaning — linking concepts and surfacing synonyms across roots.
The engine, the knowledge and the model are fully owned and run privately.
