Bhavish Aggarwal’s startup Krutrim is set to launch “Kruti,” a new agentic AI assistant that does more than just chat—it takes initiative and performs tasks autonomously on behalf of users . As an “agentic” assistant, Kruti aims to be proactive, handling multi-step workflows like scheduling meetings, booking tickets, automating reminders, and sourcing information—all through natural dialogue. This sets a new benchmark for homegrown conversational AI and brings India into the forefront of intelligent assistant development.
With its June 12 debut, Kruti enters a landscape dominated by giants yet aims to stand out thanks to its niche in local context, multilingual support, and deep integration with Indian services. If Kruti supports major Indian platforms (e.g., travel, payment apps, local utilities), it could revolutionize convenience for users. Expect early roll-outs with beta testers and regional language options—making AI approachable for a wider Indian audience and strengthening the country’s sovereign tech ecosystem.
