Zoomcar Pioneers AI Innovation: Unveils Beta AI Assistant to Enhance Host and Guest Experience

Published

on

BENGALURU, India, Aug. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Zoomcar, Zoomcar Holdings, Inc. (“Zoomcar” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: ZCAR), the NASDAQ-listed leading marketplace for self-drive car sharing, is thrilled to announce the beta launch of our cutting-edge Generative AI (Gen AI) Assistant, now available to select Hosts. This AI assistant is designed to provide 24/7 support, guiding Hosts through every step of their journey, from seamless onboarding to understanding the platform and safety of their vehicles, and also maximizing their earnings.

Becoming a car-sharing Host is still a novel concept in India, and many potential Hosts have numerous questions before they attach their cars to the platform. Traditionally, this process has required significant one-on-one interaction, which, while effective, is logistically challenging. With the introduction of the Gen AI assistant, Zoomcar aims to bridge this gap by offering a scalable, always-on solution that assists Hosts with onboarding, answers their queries, and provides valuable insights.

Hiroshi Nishijima, CEO of Zoomcar said, “Our business model is unique and involves a complex product and process, particularly for onboarding Hosts. We’re excited to introduce this first-of-its-kind GenAI assistant, which we have customized and trained to ease the process for both Hosts and Guests. This is a significant step forward in enhancing the overall experience on our platform.”

The AI assistant will continue to evolve, becoming smarter at each stage. In the coming months, it will transform into a personal assistant for Hosts, helping them grow their earnings. Zoomcar also plans to introduce a similar GenAI assistant for Guests, offering personalized, curated suggestions for selecting the most suitable vehicle for their trips based on their needs. This assistant will also provide comprehensive summaries of the last few bookings and the experience of previous guests. 

“We are committed to investing the majority of our engineering resources into developing GenAI-based products this year. Our focus is on making onboarding easier for Hosts and speeding up decision-making for Guests. This is just the beginning of what we have in store,” added Vishal Ramrakhyani, Head of Engineering at Zoomcar.

Zoomcar is leading the way in leveraging AI technology to enhance the car-sharing experience for both Hosts and Guests, setting a new standard for the industry.

About Zoomcar:

Founded in 2013 and headquartered in Bengaluru, India, Zoomcar is a leading marketplace for car sharing focused in India. The Zoomcar community connects Hosts with Guests, who choose from a selection of cars for use at affordable prices, promoting sustainable, smart transportation solutions in India.

Tulufan, Xinjiang: For the first time, a new energy plant and station has achieved “all-green electricity” operation

Published

on

By

TULUFAN, China, Sept. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — On September 19, employees of State Grid Tulufan Electric Power Supply Company came to State Power Investment Zhongli Tenghui Qiquanhu Photovoltaic Power Station to provide comprehensive technical support and guidance for new energy enterprises.

Seven wind power and photovoltaic power generation enterprises, including Xinjiang Jize Power Generation Company in Tulufan, have obtained 6.035 million KWH of grid electricity by purchasing 6,035 “green certificates” to achieve “green electricity – green electricity” and achieve green energy use in the whole link of new energy power generation.

The green power certificate, referred to as “green certificate”, is the only certificate that identifies the production and consumption of renewable energy power. Promoting the all-green operation of new energy power generation is an important measure to promote the green consumption of renewable energy.

“Before, we were just ‘producers’ of green electricity. Now the buyers of green certificates have become green electricity consumers, and the production process is fully green.” Qiquan Lake photovoltaic power station inspection officer Forzati Dilishati said.

Since the launch of the green electricity and green certificate market, State Grid Tulufan Electric Power Supply Company has actively promoted green electricity trading, promoted the supply of green electricity and green certificates in multiple scenarios, promoted the rapid promotion and popularization of related services in Tulufan, and helped build a new power system.

In the first eight months of this year, the cumulative volume of green electricity transactions in Xinjiang reached 1.174 billion KWH, 93.83 times that of the whole year of 2022.

SINGAPORE, Sept. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Today, PayPal Ventures, the global venture capital arm of PayPal, announced an additional investment in Chaos Labs, an industry leader in onchain risk management. This investment underscores PayPal Ventures’ confidence in Chaos Labs’ potential and their blockchain products.

Chaos Labs’ recent launch of Edge, a new decentralized oracle protocol, has garnered significant attention within the industry. Edge has already secured a remarkable $30B over the last 2 months and has been adopted by leading exchanges such as Jupiter, the top perpetuals exchange on Solana, and GMX, the leading exchange on Arbitrum.

Edge offers a comprehensive, low-latency oracle solution, combining accurate price data with actionable market intelligence. Its advanced architecture ensures the security and efficiency of DeFi applications while providing insights into market dynamics and security risks. Edge monitors the market for specific risk signals, performs the offchain data parsing and computation, and outputs one actionable data point.

Omer Goldberg, CEO and Founder of Chaos Labs, said, “We’re excited to receive the strong confidence and additional support from the PayPal Ventures team. Edge by Chaos is the culmination of our entire company’s work and expertise. Edge Price, Risk, and Proofs deliver meaningful and unmatched contextualized risk and price data for assets including stablecoins and other real-world-assets, in addition to the crypto assets and venues that provide access to them.”

Last month, Chaos Labs announced a $55 million Series A funding round led by Haun Ventures, including prominent new investors such as F-Prime Capital, Slow Ventures, and Spartan Capital, and existing investors including PayPal Ventures. Chaos Labs has experienced significant growth, tripling its customer base and securing billions in trading volume, loans, and incentives.

PayPal Ventures’ investment aligns with PayPal’s ongoing commitment to the blockchain ecosystem. In May 2024, PayPal launched its stablecoin, PYUSD, on the Solana blockchain.

Amman Bhasin, Partner at PayPal Ventures, said, “Our continued investment in Chaos Labs reflects our belief in their vision to create a safer crypto ecosystem and move more financial services on chain. Chaos Labs has emerged as a leading risk authority in the sector and we are thrilled to witness their evolution as they launch innovative products like Edge to mitigate oracle vulnerabilities.”
