Revolutionizing Pilgrimage: Swami Chatbot Unveiled for Sabarimala Devotees

Kerala's Chief Minister launched the AI assistant 'Swami Chatbot' to enhance the Sabarimala pilgrimage experience. Developed by Pathanamthitta district administration and supported by the Muthoot Group, it offers services in six languages and simplifies temple-related inquiries, promising a safe and efficient journey for devotees.

On Wednesday, Kerala's Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan introduced the Swami Chatbot, an AI assistant designed to enhance the pilgrimage experience to the Sabarimala temple, by unveiling its logo. The initiative was spearheaded by the Pathanamthitta district administration.

The Swami Chatbot, available through a smartphone interface, provides vital services in six languages—English, Hindi, Malayalam, Telugu, Tamil, and Kannada.
