Krutrim, an artificial intelligence business founded by Ola’s Bhavish Aggarwal, has launched a dedicated android app for its AI chatbot. The chatbot is intended at competing with industry leaders such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Microsoft’s Copilot, and Google’s Gemini.
This move comes ahead of the forthcoming debut of Krutrim’s developer services, which will include cloud infrastructure and geolocation capabilities using Ola Maps.
The app is now available on the Play Store and was released on May 2. The mobile app comes just as Krutrim prepares to debut its developer solutions, which include cloud infrastructure as well as mapping and location-based services through Ola Maps, on May 4. Following its announcement in December, the business made its AI chatbot available in public beta in February. Krutrim’s initial product will be driven by its multilingual large language models (LLM), also known as Krutrim.

Features of the krutrim AI App
Krutrim describes the smartphone software as a conversation assistant that can help individuals write blog entries, emails, texts, and social networking postings, among other things. It may also supply users with answers to their daily questions, the most recent news and trends, and information on a wide range of topics.
One of the notable aspects of this launch is Krutrim’s plan to unveil developer offerings. By opening up its platform to developers, Krutrim is set to foster a thriving ecosystem of AI-driven applications and services. This move not only encourages innovation but also allows developers to leverage Krutrim’s robust AI capabilities to create impactful solutions across different domains.
According to Moneycontrol, Ola Maps plans to provide developers location intelligence services, such as mapping and location-based ones, in addition to AI compute. The company’s offerings will include navigation software development kits (SDKs) for iOS and Android, the ability to create dynamic, rich, and interactive maps, and the ability to recommend appropriate searches based on geographic data.
Along with retrieving human-readable location names from geo-coordinates, it will also allow developers to create precise and optimized itineraries for efficient trip planning. In October 2021, Ola purchased GeoSpoc, a geospatial services company with its headquarters in Pune. The company’s primary ride-hailing app now uses Ola Maps to power its mapping requirements. As part of a software upgrade, the business had previously declared that Ola Maps will be added to its line of electric two-wheelers in
In addition, Krutrim is building indigenous data centers and hopes to eventually venture into server, edge, and supercomputer computing. The business is also producing silicon chips that have been tuned for AI.
