Consider the AI model
Most models handle Hindi well. Sarvam 105B is built for Indian languages and is worth testing for regional-language calls.
Tips for natural Indian-language calls
- Write instructions the way people actually speak on calls. Modern terms like “profile”, “calendar”, or “EMI” can stay in English or be transliterated.
- Tell the assistant how to handle Hinglish, for example
If the caller mixes Hindi and English, reply the same way. - Keep numbers simple. Ask the assistant to say amounts in lakhs and crores if that’s what callers expect.
- Test with native speakers before launching a campaign.
