Krutrim AI, introduced by the trailblazing minds behind Ola, it’s hailed as “India’s own AI,” a digital companion deeply rooted in the ethos of the nation.
So, what exactly is Krutrim AI?
In the words of Ola, Krutrim AI is envisioned as your personalized assistant, poised to simplify both your personal and professional life. Whether it’s drafting emails, embarking on a culinary adventure with a new recipe, or simply seeking information, Krutrim stands ready to assist.
But what sets Krutrim apart from the sea of digital assistants? It’s the tech behind the scenes. Powered by Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Machine Learning (ML) algorithms, Krutrim delves deep into the nuances of human language and cultural contexts, offering a truly tailored experience.
The journey hasn’t been without its bumps, though. Recent controversies stirred whispers, as some users discovered Krutrim referring to itself as a “large language model.” Ola swiftly quashed these murmurs, attributing them to a mere “data leak issue.”
And then there’s the Ather Energy debacle, where Krutrim raised eyebrows by favoring a competitor’s electric scooter over its own. A hiccup, perhaps, but a reminder that even the most advanced AI isn’t immune to a little controversy.
But amidst the ups and downs, Krutrim continues to evolve, recently securing a hefty $50 million in funding, soaring to a valuation of $1 billion. With this, Krutrim proudly claims its title as India’s first artificial intelligence unicorn.
