A month after reintroducing call recording feature for both Android and iOS users, Truecaller on Thursday launched Truecaller Assistant in India, its biggest market, which leverages machine learning (ML) and cloud telephony to create the call-screening solution. Truecaller Assistant is currently available for Android users only and it would "answer calls" on behalf of the user,  in a bid to fight fraud and spam calls. It screens calls, filters out the spammers, and tells the user who’s calling and why. It would support Hindi, English as well as "Hinglish".

Price Of Truecaller Assistant In India

Truecaller Assistant is available on a free 14-day trial, after which subscribers can add Assistant as part of Truecaller Premium Assistant plan that starts from Rs 149 per month (Rs 99 as part of the limited promotional deal). The service was previously launched in the
US and Australia, and additional markets and languages will soon follow. In India, Truecaller Assistant will initially support three languages. Users can choose from different personalised assistants with varying accents and intonation, in different styles such as professional, friendly or courteous.

According to the caller identification major, Truecaller Assistant is a customisable, interactive, digital receptionist that answers your calls for you and helps you avoid unwanted callers. The assistant responds quickly and understands your caller with high accuracy. You can see a live transcription of what the caller is saying, so you know who they are and why they’re calling. Then you can decide if you want to take over the call, ask the caller for more information with just a tap or mark it as spam.

“Until now, Truecaller would show you who's calling but now you can let Truecaller Assistant have a conversation with the caller on your behalf, " Rishit Jhunjhunwala, MD India at Truecaller, said in a statement. This is a very exciting next step for us in helping people avoid spam and fraud callers completely. We've rolled this out to a few markets earlier, and we are really happy to offer this to Truecaller fans in India."
