Twincafe Launches in India, Bringing Shareable AI Digital Twins to Individuals and Institutions
Viven AI's Twincafe (formerly AskSila) launches in India, allowing experts to create shareable AI Digital Twins to scale their knowledge and expertise.
In a significant leap for personalized artificial intelligence, Twincafe, the AI-powered Digital Twin platform developed by Viven AI, officially launched in India today. Formerly known as AskSila, the platform has undergone a strategic rebranding to reflect its expanded vision: moving beyond simple chatbots to create "Digital Twins" that mirror the specific knowledge, reasoning, and unique perspectives of human experts.
The launch aims to bridge the gap between being heard and being able to help. While many people possess vast expertise, they are limited by time and geography. Twincafe solves this by allowing anyone—from teachers and lawyers to chefs and entrepreneurs—to build a digital version of themselves that can provide guidance 24/7.
From General Chatbots to Specific Identities
The core philosophy behind Twincafe is a shift in the AI paradigm. While most current AI assistants are general-purpose tools that answer as "no one in particular," a Digital Twin is designed to answer as someone specific. This allows users to interact with the unique reasoning and lived experiences of an expert, rather than receiving generic data.
The platform offers access to a diverse range of expertise, including:
- Entrepreneurship and Business
- Cyber Security and Engineering
- Accounting and Law
- Spirituality and Wellness
- Media, Education, and Sports
- Cooking and Lifestyle
Scaling Human Brilliance
Ashutosh Garg, Founder & CEO of Twincafe, highlighted that the mission is to amplify human brilliance. He noted that India was the ideal starting point for this venture due to its deep pool of expertise and its population's rapid adoption of AI technologies. According to Garg, Twincafe sits at the intersection of abundant knowledge and a population ready to access it in innovative ways.
“The next chapter of AI should be about amplifying people and what they're uniquely brilliant at,” Garg stated. “Every one of us carries expertise and lived experience that could make someone else's day easier, and Twincafe lets you share it.”
Sandesh Goel, Managing Director of Twincafe, added that the platform ensures experts can "keep a seat open" for anyone needing help at any hour, without losing the personal touch that makes their advice unique.
How Digital Twins Are Created
One of the most significant barriers to personal AI has historically been the need for high technical expertise and significant capital. Twincafe aims to democratize this process, making the creation of a Digital Twin a matter of minutes rather than months.
The process is streamlined into a few simple steps:
- Sign up for the platform.
- Upload existing content such as written documents, presentations, articles, interviews, voice notes, and social media content.
- Generate the Twin, which is then trained specifically on that creator's unique data to ensure the output reflects their specific way of thinking.
By making these digital personas shareable, Twincafe allows fans, students, and clients to "consult" with experts they might never realistically reach through traditional scheduling, providing a scalable way to multiply human impact.
