Chants meet chatbots at this year’s Maha Kumbh

Sadhus donning sunglasses and sneakers at the Maha Kumbh will also be chatting with an AI bot this year, to know something as mundane as what time the morning ‘snan’ will be, or where the nearest toilet is.

You could be doing the same, getting all information about the ‘mela’ from its first-ever artificial intelligence-powered chatbot named Kumbh Sah‘AI’yak, available on the mela website, app and WhatsApp.
