Reliance-backed Hanooman to make new saga as India’s ChatGPT-style service
India is poised to enter the world of artificial intelligence (AI) with the upcoming launch of Hanooman, a cutting-edge ChatGPT-style bot developed by BharatGPT, a consortium supported by Reliance Industries. Scheduled for release in March 2024, Hanooman is designed to cater to the diverse linguistic landscape of India, offering a wide range of services customized for the local market.
Named after the revered half-monkey deity from the Hindu epic Ramayana, Hanooman represents a significant leap forward for India in the realm of transformative AI technology. With compatibility in 11 languages, the bot is expected to revolutionize sectors such as healthcare, governance, financial services, and education by providing seamless and tailored assistance to users.
In collaboration with Indian Institute of Technology universities, Reliance Jio Infocomm Ltd., and the Indian government, BharatGPT is spearheading the development of Hanooman to empower users with innovative AI services. The venture is part of a broader initiative to promote indigenous AI models in the country, with other startups like Sarvam and Krutrim also working on similar projects with prominent investors.
One of the key features of Hanooman is its speech-to-text capability, enabling users to interact with the bot in their preferred language. Reliance Jio is actively involved in creating customized AI models to enhance the user experience across its vast network of subscribers, paving the way for widespread adoption of AI technologies in India.
During a recent technology conference in Mumbai, a preview of Hanooman showcased its versatility, with users from different backgrounds interacting with the bot in various languages. The successful implementation of Hanooman is expected to position India as a formidable contender in the global AI landscape, driving innovation and technological advancement in the country.
With Mukesh Ambani at the helm of Reliance Industries and the visionary approach of BharatGPT, the launch of Hanooman heralds a new era of AI-driven services in India, opening up exciting possibilities for users across different sectors. As the country gears up for this groundbreaking development, the future of AI in India looks brighter than ever.
