Generative artificial intelligence is the new big thing that can transform markets and the economy. Though India runs behind in developing its own language model of the AI tools, it certainly is making use of this splendid innovation. Indian companies are collaborating with global pioneers to deliver more efficient services to customers. Here are some companies that have started taking baby steps using AI tools in business. 

Zomato 

Blinkit, the quick commerce platform of Zomato has introduced a new feature called ‘Recipe Rover’ driven by the most popular AI models ChatGPT and Midjourney.

The company also plans to integrate generative AI into product photography, customer support, etc. Zomato has huge customer data at its disposal which can be put to use to create more customer-friendly features in the future.
