‘Say Halo to Dewi’: All about new AI avatar launched by Indian embassy in Indonesia
India's Ambassador to Indonesia, Sandeep Chakravorty, also shared the update about ‘Dewi’, the new AI face of the embassy of India in Jakarta, on his X handle.
The Indian embassy in Jakarta has unveiled an artificial intelligence (AI) avatar called Dewi. In a statement, the embassy explained that Dewi serves as the new digital face of the Embassy of India in Jakarta. The AI avatar aims to provide culture, travel, scholarship, business, investment, and consular updates to its followers.
It will bring stories and updates related to the India-Indonesia partnership, emphasizing a closer connection between the two nations. The embassy encouraged followers to say "Halo" to Dewi and stay informed and connected. India's Ambassador to Indonesia, Sandeep Chakravorty, also shared the news on his social media platform, marking the occasion on the auspicious days of Navaratri and Durga Puja.
Both countries share strong bilateral relations, which have grown in political, security, defense, commercial, and cultural spheres since 2014 under India's Act East policy. The name "Dewi" has cultural significance in both India and Indonesia, deriving from the Sanskrit word Devi, a common female name in Indonesia with the same meaning.
The AI avatar was launched by the Indian embassy on October 13, 2026, as part of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's M.A.N.A.V. Vision for using AI to enhance governance and public service delivery.
