Reliance to launch AI chatbot 'Hanuman' next month

Mukesh Ambani's Reliance Industries Limited is preparing to launch AI chatbot 'Hanuman' like ChatGPT next month. For this, the company is collaborating with 8 affiliated universities, which has been named 'Bharat GPT Group'. On Tuesday, the company showed this AI chatbot during a technology conference.

During the presentation, a motorcycle mechanic from South India spoke with the AI bot in his native language Tamil. Whereas, a banker interacted with the tool in Hindi and a developer from Hyderabad used it to write computer code.

Hanuman will have a speech-to-text capability:

Ganesh Ramakrishnan, chairman of the computer science and engineering department of IIT Bombay, said that this is a different style of LLM (Large Language Model). Hanuman will also have speech-to-text capability. He said, "Reliance Jio will also prepare customized models for specific users."

The company is also working on Jio chip Brain, a platform for using AI on its network of about 45 crore customers. This is also important because, in the country's population of 1.4 billion, lakhs of people cannot read or write.

Two months ago, Jio Infocom Chairman Akash Ambani had said that the company is also considering bringing Jio's own operating system for television. Apart from this, Reliance Jio is preparing to launch products and services in different sectors like commerce, communication and devices.
