An AI-powered poetry battle platform where language models play famous Arabic poets using only documented verses.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-21 issue.

Why it surfaced

Each move must come from a verified diwan, and the final letter of one verse constrains the opponent's reply. The site turns poets including al-Mutanabbi, Imru’ al-Qays, Antarah ibn Shaddad, and al-Khansa into a remarkably specific chessboard for literary AI.
