Problem
In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, users often struggle with the "Featuritis Curve" - a phenomenon where the increasing number of features in software leads to steep learning curves, complex interfaces, and user frustration. This complexity barrier hinders digital adoption, productivity, and accessibility for non-technical users and even challenges experienced developers.
Solution
- We invite you to explore our overview video and working demo to witness UDAN's transformative potential firsthand:
- Overview: UDAN - Universal Digital Assistant by Nistapp
- Working Demo (without genAI):
- Universal Digital Assistant (by Nistapp) Demo on Vantagecircle
- Multilingual version: Digital Assistant demo on vantagecircle - global multilingual support enabled As you can see, this is pretty useful even without genAI. Adding genAI turbo charges UDAN’s core purpose of understanding user intent and executing on that intent.
- Limitation: The action sequences in UDAN are static.
- genAI to the rescue: to build a very sophisticated approach to understand variations in user queries and dynamically modify and execute the existing, appropriate static sequences in UDAN.
Current Status
Core Platform is in production. genAI integration is in active development. We expect to relase a public Beta of genAI integration in November 2024. (Our technical discussions regarding genAI integration are linked in the Appendix section of the gDrive document.)
