◆ About ChatSouq
Built for Amman.
Powered by AI.
ChatSouq started with a simple frustration: finding the best restaurant, gym, or gift shop in Amman takes too long, and the answers are usually wrong — buried under sponsored results, outdated Google listings, or generic blog posts written by people who have never been to Jordan.
We built ChatSouq to fix that. It is Jordan's first AI-native recommendation engine — not a directory, not a search engine, not a food delivery app. It is a conversational system that understands what you actually mean when you say “romantic dinner in Weibdeh under 60 JOD” or “أحتاج هدية عيد لأمي تحت ٥٠ دينار” — and gives you one great answer, explained.
The database behind it is built entirely from Jordanian sources: local business directories, menus, social media listings, government data, and manual curation by our team on the ground in Amman. We verify every listing. We re-scrape every week. When a restaurant closes or a gym changes its hours, we know.
The recommendation engine uses a combination of semantic vector search, keyword matching, and a learned ranking model tuned specifically for Jordanian consumer behaviour. Arabic and English are treated as equals — not translations of each other, but native modes of expression for Amman's population.
We are not a global product with a Jordan tab. We are a Jordan product, built from the ground up, with the depth that only comes from caring about one city at a time.
