Ship log · most recent first

Most of what's here landed on a single launch day: 2026-05-08, the day the “Voice AI for Muslims” positioning shipped across the entire marketing site.

2026-05-08Content#09

Claims Blacklist + scholar-aligned posture

  • Landscape scan published at brand/landscape.md. 11-item Claims Blacklist gates all marketing copy from now on.
  • Sub-300ms latency claim removed everywhere it was load-bearing. Production-bar latency is industry-saturated as of May 2026.
  • Al-Azhar (2026-02-10) and Egypt's Dar al-Ifta (2026-04-07) scholar-rulings on AI tafsir/fatwa cited inline on the homepage Trust Covenant and on /security: AI is for ops, not for deen.
  • Intron Sahara v2 (March 2026) added to the strategic-analog narrative alongside Bolna. Three-vendor proof of the geo-vertical voice AI playbook.
2026-05-08SEO#07

SEO + AI-citation surface upgrades

  • Navbar IA refreshed: Agents dropdown, /halal-business-filter, /multilingual, /security, /pricing, /about. Legacy chat-era links retired.
  • FAQPage JSON-LD shipped on /faq. Every FAQ entry now eligible for AI-engine citation.
  • Tier-1 keyword exact phrases surfaced in body copy where they naturally fit: “halal voice agent”, “islamic voice AI”, “voice AI for charities”.
  • Inline link from the homepage Trust Covenant covenant 1 to /halal-business-filter. Internal link-equity now flows to the brand-pillar page.
2026-05-08Product#06

Five integrations pages live

  • /integrations/vapi: foundational page, framing Vapi as substrate and akhi.ai as the cultural+religious vertical layer on top. Six-layer stack diagram with explicit Vapi / shared / akhi.ai ownership tags.
  • /integrations/twilio + /integrations/plivo: telephony pair. Same T&C-gated consent flow on both. Plivo positioned for international cost-efficiency across MENA, South Asia, SE Asia.
  • /integrations/launchgood: highest-brand-fit integration. Ramadan campaigns, recurring-donor confirmations, scholar-deferral on every fiqh-adjacent donor question.
  • /integrations/whatsapp-business: text channel for masjids that already run on WhatsApp groups. Same RAG knowledge base as voice. Same halal-only refusal in text.
2026-05-08Product#05

Five vertical agent pages live

  • /agents/masjid-front-desk: Jummah-time questions, 3 AM Fajr calls, Eid RSVPs, donation pledges, revert onboarding.
  • /agents/charity-donor-outreach: Ramadan outreach, recurring-donor confirmation, zakat reminders, year-end tax receipts.
  • /agents/halal-restaurant-front-desk: iftar-rush reservations, halal-certification questions, takeout + COD + suhoor calls.
  • /agents/recruitment-screening: pre-screen calls, interview scheduling, hijab-friendly workplace matching, Ramadan-flexibility checks.
  • /agents/halal-ecommerce-cod: COD callbacks, abandoned-cart recovery, halal-certification verification on inbound.
2026-05-08Brand#04

Trust Covenant (Ahd) on every page

  • Six commitments now run through the homepage and /security: halal-only platform refusal, end-to-end encryption, human-in-the-loop on sensitive topics, Akhi never gives fatwas (scholar-aligned with Al-Azhar + Dar al-Ifta), T&C-gated outbound, no impersonation or dark patterns.
  • Each commitment expanded into a substantive card on /security with paragraph context plus four to six concrete bullets, written like a founder would say it on a customer call, not legalese.
  • Compliance roadmap section is honest about what's true today (TLS 1.3, AES-256, GDPR-aligned posture) vs. evaluation underway (SOC 2 Type II) vs. out of scope (HIPAA).
2026-05-08Brand#03

Halal-business filter shipped publicly

  • /halal-business-filter goes live with the full list of refused verticals: riba banking, alcohol, gambling, conventional insurance, pork, adult content, dating apps, escort services, tobacco/vaping (flagged for human review).
  • Three enforcement gates explained on the page: onboarding confirmation, runtime system-prompt refusal, public canon list.
  • Edge-cases section for businesses near the line: music labels, cosmetics, entertainment, mixed-business operators.
  • The list is permanent. We don't quietly edit it. When it changes, we publish the change with the reason.
2026-05-08Product#02

Multilingual public roadmap

  • /multilingual ships the four-phase rollout: Launch (English, Arabic MSA + Gulf, Urdu) → +90 days (Indonesian, Malay, Turkish) → +180 days (Bengali, French Maghreb, Somali) → +12 months (Hausa, Pashto, Dari, Levantine + Maghrebi Arabic).
  • Each language listed with the regions it serves and the verticals it unlocks for customer acquisition.
  • Adab review process documented as a four-check gate: Islamic vocabulary correctness, refusal-policy enforcement in-language, halal-filter intent recognition by dialect, sensitive-topic handoff phrasing.
  • Native scripts surfaced naturally (العربية, اردو, বাংলা, پښتو, دری, العربية الشامية والمغاربية), not as decoration.
2026-05-08Brand#01

The Voice AI for Muslims positioning shipped

  • Full marketing site reposition from chat-framed to voice-first. Hero, problem, solution, halal-only, multilingual, features, use cases, how it works, Trust Covenant, FAQ, final CTA. Every section now ladders to Adab / Halal-only / Voice for the Ummah.
  • Three brand pillars locked: Adab-first (Islamic etiquette in every interaction), Halal-only (platform-level refusal of haram verticals), Voice for the Ummah (12+ Muslim-vernacular languages, code-switching, native-speaker adab review).
  • Strategic analog written down: Bolna for India + Intron for Africa + akhi.ai for the Ummah. Three vendors running the same geo-vertical voice AI playbook for three underserved language and cultural segments.
  • Voice-call demo card pattern established. Used on the homepage hero and now reused on every /agents/* page with vertical-specific transcripts.

What's next

Coming up. No fixed dates.

Pre-launch posture: we publish when the work passes the same adab + claim discipline as the rest of the site, not on a calendar tempo. Here's what's drafted or sketched.

Days 8–14

Customer-story IA slot + /terms + first /industries pages

Customer-story page template lands (empty until first 5 design partners exist). /terms covers the consent T&C for uploaded numbers, a launch blocker per the founder call. First /industries/* pages start filling the IA depth.

Days 15–30

First five customer stories + anchor SEO articles

Once first paid customers exist, real customer-story pages publish. Five anchor SEO articles drafted: voice AI for masjids · voice AI Arabic · halal business automation · Ramadan donor outreach · voice AI vs. Bolna for Muslim businesses.

Insha'Allah, this quarter

Live demo phone number + first 30 customers

We provision a US number and an Arabic-language number to embed in the “Call our agent” CTA. The first 30 customers are called personally: masjids, Muslim charities, halal businesses, Muslim-owned recruiters. Their feedback shapes what ships next.
