The Indian Embassy in Jakarta has launched Dewi, an artificial intelligence avatar designed to share information about culture, travel, scholarships, business and investment opportunities, as well as consular updates.
Introduced during Navaratri and Durga Puja, the digital representative will provide updates on India and the India-Indonesia partnership to Indians living in Indonesia and Indonesians interested in exploring India.
Announcing the launch on social media on Tuesday, Indian Ambassador to Indonesia Sandeep Chakravorty said the embassy’s AI avatar was ready to “guide her followers” on the “auspicious occasion of Navaratri and Durga Puja”.
The embassy introduced its digital representative with the invitation: “Follow us, and say Halo to Dewi!”
The name Dewi means goddess in Indonesian, giving the virtual guide a local identity and linking her launch to the festive season.
“Culture, travel, scholarships, business, investment opportunities and consular updates — all coming closer to you! Bringing you stories and updates from across the India–Indonesia partnership,” the mission said in a social media post.
“Stay informed, stay connected!” it added.
According to the Indian mission, Indonesia is home to about 1,30,000 Persons of Indian Origin and around 15,000 Non-Resident Indians, most of whom are professionals, including chartered accountants, teachers and engineers.
Several regional and pan-Indian community associations are also active in Jakarta and other major Indonesian cities.
Through Dewi, the embassy aims to make information on India, consular services and the India-Indonesia partnership more accessible to people in Indonesia.
