Cons
  • Strategy has shifted fast; product availability is a moving target
  • Kruti consumer assistant reportedly pulled from app stores in 2026
  • Own-chip (Bodhi) ambitions reportedly scrapped
  • Models have not matched global frontier systems on general benchmarks
  • Reported fundraising challenges and reduced targets in 2025
  • Newer and less battle-tested than global incumbents for general tasks
  • Per-token pricing has reportedly changed, so costs need re-checking

  • No consumer mobile app or browser extension
  • English/global-benchmark performance is not its focus or selling point
