Back in September, Truecaller announced its new Truecaller Assistant for mobile devices. Upon its release, it was available only in a few countries like the United States and Australia. The company is progressively expanding its availability, and today, Android users in India will finally be able to enjoy the Truecaller Assistant.
For those unaware, the Truecaller Assistant is an AI-based call-screening solution. It uses cloud and machine learning to answer your calls in a natural language. It provides live transcription of what the caller is saying, helping you to decide whether to take over the call or mark it as spam.
Truecaller Assistant – Trending AI makes way to call assist
The new Truecaller Assistant brings the trending AI tech to the market of call assist apps. It also combines cloud telephony and machine learning tech. It’s a smart call-screening tool, it can answer incoming calls using natural language processing (NLP). It also provides real-time transcription of the caller’s speech. It’s a unique feature that offers users insights about the call’s purpose and the caller’s intent. The tech also helps users to build decisions about whether or not to answer a call or to label it as spam. It will save you some time doing your call management. At the same time, it offers an extra layer of security against unsolicited calls.
According to Truecaller, the new feature is the “smartest call screening available anywhere”. The service is perfect for India due to its high position on the list of nations suffering from spam calls. The service/app is innovative and combines the best of AI technologies into a useful tool.
With the latest arrival, Indian users will be able to simplify their lives and avoid spam. It’s definitively an interesting technology that makes use of the trending natural language processing found on popular AI assistants like ChatGPT and Bing Chat.

The service pays attention to the details in the country and aims to offer a seamless and enjoyable experience to users in India. The company further states that there are plans to add support for more Indian languages. However, that may still take some time.
