IndiGo launches 6Eskai on WhatsApp

Built on the generative AI assistant platform developed by Riafy, a Google partner, this service will allow customers to book tickets, check-in, generate boarding pass, check their flight status, and ask their queries on WhatsApp. Powered by this groundbreaking technology, this service will address customer queries received via text and voice messages in English, Hindi, and Tamil languages initially 

To support this service on WhatsApp, 6Eskai leverages Google Cloud’s Large Language Models. With extensive prompt engineering, this service offers conversational interactions, responds to emotions, and even infuses humour into responses, ensuring a more engaging experience for customers. The extension of this service on WhatsApp will significantly enhance the hassle-free travel booking services available to customers, through the IndiGo’s digital channels.
