Wipro, SIAM.AI Partner to Build AI Tourism Assistant
Wipro Limited, a global technology services leader, has joined forces with SIAM.AI, a member of the NVIDIA Cloud Partner program in Thailand, to create an AI-powered digital assistant for the country’s Tourism Authority. Built using NVIDIA AI Enterprise software, Wipro’s Enterprise Generative AI (WeGA) Studio, and SIAM.AI’s expertise, the assistant, named ‘Sukjai,’ aims to enhance tourism experiences while advancing Thailand’s sovereign AI objectives. ‘Sukjai’ will offer 24/7 support in Thai and English, providing tourists with tailored recommendations and real-time information. Features include transportation guidelines, lodging availability, crowd flow updates at attractions, and personalised activity suggestions based on user preferences. It will also provide emergency assistance and safety alerts, ensuring a seamless and secure travel experience for both domestic and international tourists. “This initiative highlights our deep expertise and investments in delivering highly customised AI solutions, designed to achieve the unique objectives of our clients,” Vinay Firake, CEO of Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa at Wipro, said.
