AI-Infused App deKoder To Cover Election News In Regional Languages

There is a myth surrounding elections that it is only the elderly who are interested in the latest happenings of the process, which is not the case. In a strategic move towards democratising information, Prannoy Roy, former chairperson and founder of NDTV, recently announced his new venture, ‘deKoder.’ The AI-based website and app aims to simplify intricate global issues, ranging from election analyses to significant world events. The election coverage in particular will be made available in various regional languages on the Dekoder app.

Empowering Independent Analysis Through AI Integration

Roy, who resigned from his directorial position at NDTV in November 2022, is focusing on empowering viewers to conduct independent analyses through deKoder’s incorporation of artificial intelligence. The platform’s phased launch, initiated on January 13, 2023, emphasises a systematic and thoughtful approach to its introduction.

Content Accessibility in 15 Indian Languages

Addressing the need for diverse content consumption, deKoder is set to cater to a broad audience by providing content in 15 different Indian languages. This move is intended to make complex issues more accessible and inclusive.
