Additional Mela Officer Vivek Chaturvedi stated that, for the first time, the "Kumbh Sahayak" chatbot is being developed for the event. Built using advanced generative AI technology, this chatbot will serve as a personal guide for attendees and can be accessed through the Mahakumbh 2025 app or on WhatsApp.

The chatbot will offer essential information about Mahakumbh in over ten languages, including Hindi and English, with help from the Bhashini app. Through interactive conversations in both text and voice, it will provide details on the event’s history and traditions, information about sadhus and akhadas, key bathing ghats, dates, routes, parking, and accommodation options.

The Additional Mela Adhikari further shared that the Kumbh Sahayak Chatbot will come equipped with Google navigation, allowing visitors to easily locate sectors, arenas, Kalpvas tents, and bathing ghats within the Mahakumbh area. The chatbot will also guide users to popular sightseeing spots, temples, railway stations, and bus stands across Prayagraj, ensuring smooth navigation both inside and outside the Mahakumbh grounds.

Additionally, the chatbot will keep users updated on Mahakumbh events, offer details on government-approved tour packages, and provide information on local hotels and homestays. Acting as a personal guide, the Kumbh Sahayak Chatbot will even engage users with personal GIFs for a unique interactive experience.

With multilingual support, the chatbot aims to serve both international tourists and visitors from across India, helping realize CM Yogi’s vision for a safe and seamless Mahakumbh 2025.
