Media Release
Mangaluru, Jul 19: Artificial Intelligence, or AI, is changing the world fast. But for many, it feels like something only tech experts can understand. That's where Yaticorp India Pvt Ltd, a smart company from Mangaluru, steps in with a brilliant idea: the world's first AI Card. Their goal is to bring AI learning to every single person, no matter where they are or what their background is.
And guess who's helping them on this amazing journey? A super friendly, AI-powered mascot named Babloo.
On September 27, 2024, the day Yaticorp's AI Card was born, their team, driven by a desire to make AI feel human and accessible, brought Babloo to life as a digital companion. What began as a glowing pulse of code within the AI Card's infrastructure quickly evolved; as engineers and educators shaped the curriculum, Babloo absorbed it all, learning to understand not just data, but the diverse needs and dreams of individuals from remote villages to job seekers, making him increasingly real. Concurrently with the development of Yaticorp’s 32-segment AI learning system, Babloo's personality blossomed, enabling him to speak regional languages, understand dealer networks, and grasp the vital role of empathy in education, transforming him into a bridge between technology and people. By the time of the AI Card's launch, Babloo had matured into a fully formed, emotionally intelligent mascot complete with charm, wit, and wisdom, now serving as the welcoming first face, reassuring voice, and delightful guide in AI tutorials. Ultimately, Babloo is more than just a digital character; he embodies the very spirit of Yaticorp's human-centered mission as a brand ambassador and trusted learning companion, paving the way for a future where every citizen is informed, skilled, and empowered by AI.
