Government policy think-tank NITI Aayog is developing a virtual assistant device like Amazon’s Alexa for vernacular users. The device will offer services such as voice interaction, music playback, to-do lists, streaming podcasts, playing audiobooks and providing real-time information such as news, weather, traffic, and sports reports. It would be capable of handling queries in 18 languages.
