JSW MG Motor India has announced a significant leap in customer engagement with the introduction of two generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) powered chatbots, Avira and Vir. This initiative, undertaken in collaboration with Google Cloud India and AI application developer Riafy, positions JSW MG Motor India as the first car company in India to leverage such advanced digital technology for customer interaction.
The new digital assistants are built on Google Cloud’s PaLM 2 technology, a sophisticated large language model (LLM) developed by Google. They are engineered to elevate and enrich customer interactions and service, offering natural, dynamic, and multilingual conversations that learn and adapt from user interactions over time, progressively becoming more intuitive and effective.
Avira is specifically designed to enhance the car-buying experience. Accessible via text and voice on the JSW MG Motor India website and WhatsApp, Avira assists potential buyers with inquiries about JSW MG cars, providing personalized recommendations based on customer preferences and budget. Its advanced generative AI capabilities ensure human-like interactions, creating a seamless and engaging journey for customers.
Conversely, Vir focuses on empowering users with comprehensive information about electric vehicles (EVs). Available through the EVPEDIA website and WhatsApp, Vir acts as an expert guide, educating customers about the latest innovations in the EV landscape and offering detailed insights to help them make informed decisions about purchasing an electric vehicle.
These chatbots will be accessible across multiple platforms, including the MG website, WhatsApp, EVPEDIA website, and EVPEDIA WhatsApp. This broad accessibility underscores JSW MG Motor India’s commitment to providing real-time, personalized support and enhancing customer satisfaction and trust.
