Summary

Organizations and fellow builders keep proposing collaborations with Qaf: the Research Center for Islamic Legislation and Ethics (CILE) at Hamad Bin Khalifa University in Qatar — currently developing IslamGPT 1.0 — requested a product demo and introductory meeting; a professor at the Islamic University in Madinah proposed building a hadith application together; a developer building a ~2 TB off-grid Islamic encyclopedia wants to embed a Qaf-style AI Islamic assistant; an Islamic content creator (Mikhail, @mikhailspeaks) pitched a partnership and later shared his open-source Nusus SDK/CLI/MCP for querying Turath texts (Abdellatif starred the repo); and the founder of Istidlal asked for a 30-minute call about Qaf's retrieval architecture, which Abdellatif answered by pointing to the open-source agentset library that powers "99%" of Qaf. All five are strategic, non-urgent opportunities that Abdellatif has triaged case by case, mostly deferring due to resource and token-cost constraints (he cited $6,000/day in credits during launch week).
