Transforming Indian Offline Retail and Customer Engagement Using AI
On Thursday, at an exclusive event, Google launched a new app called Neighbourly especially for India. Besides its usual app projects focused on India like Tez Payments app, Google Areo and Google Station, this app marks a new milestone in the series. The Next Billion Users Team at Google has developed this app to help people source local information for the users. Right now, the app is limited only to Android users in Mumbai.

Caesar Sengupta, VP, Next Billion Users Team, said in a blog post “People nearby often have the exact information you need, but they are too busy these days to stop and chat on the street or in the park. And group chats keep getting bigger and noisier – and often fill up with those ‘Good Morning’ messages.”
It is Google’s belief that it is becoming harder and harder for people to get information about their locality and neighbourhood because cities keep changing a lot, along with the people who live in them. This application will be an attempt to help users avail that information easily.
The app is said to be working in English along with eight other Indian languages. Users who wish to ask any questions about their locality can do so in the app, also using voice recognition. They will then be directed to the relevant neighbourhood expert who will answer their questions.
