What if your AI assistant could not only talk to you—but actually do things for you?

That’s exactly what Kruti, India’s first agentic AI assistant, promises.

Launched on June 12, 2025, by Ola-backed startup Krutrim (led by Bhavish Aggarwal), Kruti is built right here in India, for the everyday Indian. It works across voice and text, remembers what you said last week, and can handle full tasks.

From booking rides to placing food orders, now your AI assistant can do all of that and more, without you lifting a finger.

This is a big move. Why? Because it’s no longer about chatting with AI. It’s about getting things done.

And how Kruti pulls that off is where it gets interesting—with its own large language model, real-world tool execution, memory, and support for 13 Indian languages, it’s India’s answer to the AI assistants of tomorrow.

For marvel fans, It’s like having a desi Jarvis- only multilingual and trained for India

How Does Krutim’s AI Kruti Work?

At its core, Kruti is powered by Krutrim’s LLM v2 and open-source models, stitched together through a proprietary orchestration layer. Unlike basic chatbots, it doesn’t just respond—it acts.

Say you ask Kruti to “order biryani and book a cab for 7 PM.” It breaks down that instruction into sub-tasks, triggers APIs, confirms your preferences, and finishes the job—all without needing you to open Swiggy or Ola apps manually.

It also uses memory, which means it can remember what you told it last week (“no onions next time”) and carry that context forward. For communication, it supports both text and voice, and can even read responses aloud in 13 Indian languages.

Built to Be More Than a Consumer Tool

Kruti isn’t just for end-users. Krutrim is opening it up to developers via SDK, allowing integration with external tools, workflows, and apps.

Whether it’s a health app that needs voice-enabled scheduling or a logistics tool requiring multi-step task execution, Kruti can be plugged in and start “thinking” on your behalf.

Its agentic AI stack includes memory handling, tool access, and context awareness—all with minimal developer effort.

This also makes Kruti more scalable and relevant across sectors—retail, fintech, education, healthcare—offering truly localised and intelligent automation.

Industry Insights

Globally, agentic AI is the fastest-growing tech niche—estimated at US $7.3 billion in 2025 with projections to hit $41 billion by 2030, averaging a 41% annual growth rate.

On the ground, about 25% of Indian companies using generative AI are already piloting agentic AI solutions, with adoption expected to surge in corporate workflows this year.

And it’s not just hype—survey data shows that 60% of Indian professionals use GenAI tools like ChatGPT or Copilot, though only a third feel fully trained to leverage them effectively.

With Krutim’s launch of the AI assistant Kruti, India is moving further up the ladder in the AI conversation. As more and more AI integrations are seen across sectors, this is definitely a space for startups to look at.
