IndiGo, India's leading airline, has taken a significant leap in customer service technology with the launch of its AI chatbot, '6Eskai'. Powered by the advanced GPT-4 technology, this chatbot has been developed entirely in-house by IndiGo's digital team in collaboration with Microsoft. It marks a noteworthy achievement for the airline, offering customer service in 10 different languages and facilitating seamless ticket bookings across its network.

This AI-driven innovation positions IndiGo among the first few airlines in the region to leverage cutting-edge AI technology to elevate the customer experience.
