Purpose-Built AI
At the heart of Ummaly is HalalAI— a custom-trained 354-million parameter machine learning model built specifically for halal ingredient classification. This isn't a generic AI with a halal prompt — it's a GPT-2 Medium architecture fine-tuned from scratch on over 7,600 training examples covering 3,329 verified ingredients.
The model was trained by Muslims who understand the nuances of Islamic dietary law — from obvious haram ingredients like pork and alcohol, to subtle cases like E-codes derived from animal sources, hidden gelatine in processed foods, and ingredients with ambiguous origins that require the "mashbooh" (doubtful) classification.

Pipeline
HalalAI doesn't work alone. Every product scan passes through a rigorous 5-tier verification pipeline designed so that no single point of failure can produce a wrong result:
OCR Ingredient Extraction
Scans and extracts ingredient text from product packaging using optical character recognition.
Certified Halal Database Lookup
Cross-references the product against known halal-certified databases including ITS Halal.
Rule Engine
Pattern-matches for known E-codes, alcohol terms, and haram indicators using a curated rule set covering 45+ international alcohol terms.
HalalAI + RAG Vector Search
The fine-tuned neural network classifies each ingredient with a confidence score, running in parallel with retrieval-augmented generation for additional context.
AI Adjudicator
A reasoning layer that synthesises all signals, applies regional and contextual rules, and produces the final confidence-scored verdict.
HalalAI is never "finished". We continuously improve the model through:
Important: HalalAI is a guidance tool, not a certification body. It provides confidence-scored assessments to help you make informed decisions, but it should not be treated as a definitive religious ruling. When in doubt, consult a qualified Islamic scholar.
