User Verification: Krutrim AI Chatbot Utilizes Phone Numbers for Registration, Distinguishing It from Competitors Using Email Sign-Up

Krutrim AI is making its debut in the public sphere through a beta release, inviting users to immerse themselves in the latest advancements in artificial intelligence (AI)-powered chatbot technology. Bhavish Aggarwal, the founder of Krutrim Si Designs, popularly known as Krutrim, took to X (formerly Twitter) to herald the launch of the new AI chatbot, extending its availability to a broader audience. As with its contemporaries in the realm of generative AI-based chatbots, Krutrim AI boasts an array of capabilities, ranging from answering queries and crafting essays to offering recipe suggestions and engaging in natural conversations with users.

In an announcement shared on Monday, Aggarwal emphasized the significance of this milestone, characterizing it as the inaugural step for Krutrim’s first-generation product. He encouraged users to actively participate in the beta phase and provide valuable feedback to aid in the platform’s refinement and enhancement. While acknowledging the potential for AI hallucinations—an occurrence where large language models (LLMs) generate erroneous or fictitious information—Aggarwal assured users that the prevalence of such instances would be considerably lower in the Indian context compared to other global platforms.

Moreover, he reassured users that the team is diligently addressing and rectifying any issues that may arise. At launch, Krutrim AI supports the English language along with over 10 Indian languages, including Hindi, Tamil, Bengali, Marathi, Kannada, Gujarati, and others, catering to a diverse linguistic landscape. Additionally, the chatbot seamlessly integrates Hinglish, reflecting its adaptability to the nuanced linguistic preferences of its user base.

The new Krutrim AI chatbot after it was rolled out on Monday. It is fairly easy to get access to the service — you can visit the official website here and register for an account to use it. Interestingly, the platform asks for users’ mobile numbers and only supports Indian numbers at the moment. That means you cannot open an account using email, which is possible on ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, and Google’s Gemini chatbots.

 

 

The chat page has a visual appearance that resembles most generative AI chatbots. However, in our experience, we found the page to be quite sluggish. Typing to scrolling through the page was slow and the navigation was occasionally broken. The response generation time was also comparatively slower than ChatGPT and Gemini, and users may have to wait a little before the answers pop up. We saw the tendency of the AI to respond in shorter blocks of text instead of multiple paragraphs and bulleted texts.

Another thing we noticed was that the contextual memory of the chatbot is quite low. In some instances, it could not even remember the context of the previous question when asking a follow-up query. This did not always happen, but whenever it did, it was frustrating. Further, the platform has often been touted as an India-centric chatbot that better understands the culture and context. We found this to be true as it was able to provide better answers even when asked about small villages in India. ChatGPT struggled with this, although Gemini’s performance was quite consistent.

The startup says that it has built a family of LLMs including the base Krutrim service and Krutrim Pro, the latter of which is claimed to be a multimodal foundational model. The models have been trained on over two trillion Indic language tokens, according to the company.
