Ever wondered why some apps understand you perfectly while others leave you frustrated? The secret lies in the difference between basic chatbots and advanced conversational AI. As India's commuters increasingly rely on digital solutions for their daily travel needs, understanding this difference becomes crucial.

The Evolution of Digital Assistants in Transportation

Imagine two scenarios:

  1. You're trying to book a metro ticket, but you are not able to find the right metro line and station

  2. You speak naturally to Boho: "Borivali West se Ghatkopar ka metro ticket chahiye”

The first scenario represents traditional chatbots, while the second showcases the power of conversational AI. Let's break down why this matters for your daily commute.

Traditional Chatbots: The Digital Cashier

  • Follow preset scripts

  • Handle basic queries

  • Limited to specific commands

  • Often frustrating during complex requests
