Translated from Thai Read in Thai

The National Electronics and Computer Technology Center (NECTEC) has upgraded its Pathumma system to Pathumma Connect, an Agentic AI platform that enables AI assistants to perform multiple tasks on behalf of users in a single conversation. The platform allows users to interact with various government agencies, such as checking rights, preparing documents, and tracking status.

NECTEC has partnered with five pilot agencies, including the Ministry of Interior, the Land Department, and the Food and Drug Administration. While Pathumma Connect is a Thai AI model, its base model is from abroad, but it has been fine-tuned to understand the Thai language.
