What you can ask

Five things, built in

You type a question. It answers — from the same audited data behind our API. Nothing to set up per question.

Check any stock

Any paid plan

Is Apple halal?

via Akinda

Yes — AAPL passes all three AAOIFI screens. Debt and interest income are both well inside the limits, and almost none of its revenue comes from non-permissible sources.

Screen a whole list

Any paid plan

Screen AAPL, TSLA, JPM, MSFT and KO.

via Akinda

Three pass. JPM fails — it's a conventional bank. KO is borderline and worth a look.

See the reasoning

Personal Standard and up

Why is KO borderline?

via Akinda

Its debt sits just under the 30% limit and non-compliant revenue is close to the 5% line. Neither breaches, but both are near.

Work out purification

Personal Standard and up

I got a $310 dividend from KO. How much should I purify?

via Akinda

About $12.40 — the same share of the dividend as the company's non-permissible revenue.

Personal Ultimate and up

Show me the full breakdown for MSFT.

via Akinda

Every figure behind the verdict — each ratio in percent and dollars, and where the revenue actually comes from.

Wording is illustrative — your assistant phrases things its own way. The underlying verdicts and figures are the real ones, from each company's most recent audited filings. All five are read-only: they look things up and explain them, and can never trade, move money or change your account.

How it works

Three steps from connect to verdict

No new dashboard to learn — your AI assistant becomes the interface.

01Pick a paid planAny paid Akinda plan includes the connector. Free accounts can sign in, but the answers ask you to upgrade first.

02Add Akinda in your AI appIn Claude or ChatGPT, open Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector, give it a name, and paste one address. In Cursor it is three lines in a config file. Nothing else to fill in.

03Sign in with GoogleUse the Google account your subscription is on. Nothing to copy or store, and Akinda never sees your password. Cursor can sign in the same way, or use an API key in its config file.

How we compare

Screening depth and an AI connector

Halal screening apps answer the question. Market-data feeds serve the developers. Akinda does both, and puts it inside your assistant.

Capability	Typical halal screening app	Conventional market-data API
Connects directly to your AI assistant	—	—

“Varies” means the capability exists on some products in that category but is not standard across them. Comparison describes product categories, not any specific named provider.

Who it's for

Built for people who invest — and build — with AI

Individual investors

Check a name before you buy it, and get the reasoning in language you can act on.

Fintechs & Islamic banks

Screen a client list in one message instead of checking tickers one at a time.

Developers building AI agents

Give agents five read-only tools that return structured compliance data.

Common questions

Do I need to know how to code?

No. In Claude and ChatGPT it is three clicks and one paste inside the app's settings. Cursor keeps its connectors in a small config file, so that one is a copy-paste of three lines. After that you just type questions in plain English — there is nothing to install, script, or maintain.

Which AI assistants does this work with?

Three are verified: Claude (claude.ai, the desktop app and Claude Code), ChatGPT on a paid plan, and Cursor. They do not all connect alike — Claude and Cursor accept either a Google sign-in or an API key, while ChatGPT uses the Google sign-in only, because it cannot send a custom API-key header. The connector speaks the open Model Context Protocol, so other MCP clients can use it too, by whichever of those two methods they support.

Is my subscription shared with the AI company?

No. You sign in with Google to link your own Akinda account, and the questions you ask run against your own plan and limits. Akinda never sees your Google password.

Can the AI change anything in my account?

No. The connector is read-only. It can look up screening data and return answers — it cannot place trades, move money, or alter your account.

Does this replace a scholar?

No. Akinda gives informational screening based on reported financial data, aligned to AAOIFI methodology. It is not a fatwa and does not replace a qualified scholar.

What does it cost to use?

Nothing extra — the connector is included with every paid plan. Answers come out of the request allowance you already have: each lookup your assistant makes counts as one request, and a single question can involve more than one lookup if it asks for several things at once.
