Zahanat AI: Pakistan’s Answer to ChatGPT
Zahanat AI is Pakistan’s first locally developed generative pre-trained transformer (GPT) platform, launched in March 2025 by the tech firm Data Vault. This text-based generative AI model enables users to engage in human-like conversations, answer queries, and assist in various domains. A key feature of Zahanat AI is its hosting and local training on Pakistani culture and localized issues, making it well-equipped to address regional challenges.

The upcoming Zahanat AI 2.0 aims to revolutionize AI accessibility in Pakistan by introducing support for Urdu and regional languages, making artificial intelligence more inclusive and practical for a wider audience.
The Pakistani government is also prioritizing AI adoption in education by introducing AI-powered classrooms in schools, colleges, and universities. At a briefing on Zahanat AI in Islamabad, officials emphasized the importance of embracing artificial intelligence to keep pace with global advancements and mentioned that the government is supporting AI-related startups.
