At the Reliance AGM, Akash Ambani, the Chairman of Reliance Jio Infocomm Limited (RJIL), expressed his enthusiasm for discussing a new service under development that simplifies the utilization of Artificial Intelligence (AI) as effortlessly as making a telephone call. He referred to this innovative service as Jio Phonecall AI, which facilitates the integration of AI into every telephone interaction.
Ambani elaborated on the capabilities of Jio Phonecall AI, stating that it is capable of recording and storing any telephone conversation in the Jio Cloud, and subsequently, automatically transcribing these calls, thereby converting them from audio to text. Furthermore, it has the ability to summarize the content of the call and translate it into another language. This advancement enables individuals to easily capture and retrieve significant audio conversations, thereby making them searchable, shareable, and comprehensible across various languages, all with just a few simple clicks.
