The announcements focused on advancements in artificial intelligence, cloud computing and digital streaming. Here’s a summary of the key developments revealed at the AGM 2024.
Jio Brain
Jio Brain is a suite of AI-powered tools and platforms designed to improve the adoption of AI across the enterprise. These tools aim to improve decision-making, increase forecast accuracy, and deepen understanding of customer needs. Jio plans to develop an AI services platform that will be available to other enterprises as Jio Brain’s capabilities advance.
National AI Infrastructure
Mukesh Ambani announced that Reliance is building a “national AI infrastructure” in line with Jio’s vision of “AI everywhere for everyone”. This includes developing gigawatt-scale AI-ready data centres in Jamnagar, Gujarat and setting up multiple AI inference facilities across India. The aim is to make AI applications more affordable and accessible, with plans to collaborate with global technology companies to provide low-cost AI inference.
Jio AI-Cloud and Connected Intelligence
Ambani introduced the Jio AI-Cloud Welcome offer, which will provide up to 100GB of cloud storage at no additional cost to Jio users starting this Diwali. Jio AI-Cloud aims to offer affordable cloud storage solutions and is part of the company’s broader vision of providing AI services through its cloud platform, known as Connected Intelligence.
Jio AI Phone Call
Jio has unveiled the AI service JioPhonecall, which records phone calls and stores them in the cloud. The service uses AI to offer transcriptions, summaries, and translations of calls. Users can add a dedicated phone number to an ongoing call to enable transcription.
Jio TvOS
Jio has launched a Jio-developed operating system for the Jio set-top box, called Jio TvOS. The new system supports 4K Ultra HD video playback, Dolby Vision HDR, and Dolby Atmos surround sound. It integrates the Hello Jio voice assistant, which now uses AI to improve natural language understanding and can launch and access third-party apps like Netflix.
Jio TvOS also includes the Jio App Store, which provides apps for the Jio set-top box and other Jio Home devices.
Jio Home App
The Jio Home app is designed to serve as a control center for all Jio Home smart devices including Jio Set-Top Box and Jio Home Broadband. It includes features for smart home device management, malware detection, and guest Wi-Fi management.
JioTV+
JioTV+ is a unified platform offering access to over 860 live TV channels and content from streaming platforms like Amazon Prime Video and Disney+ Hotstar. Users will not need to switch between apps as the platform integrates content from all these services. JioTV+ will also provide personalized content suggestions based on the user’s history, a catch-up TV feature to rewatch missed content up to seven days, and a Play-Pause feature to resume live TV from where the user left off. Additionally, the platform includes a faster channel switching experience.
