Generative AI
Voice query in Tamil: "kaaichal moonu naal aagudhu, paracetamol thaan podhuma?" Most Health AI built in the last three years is English-first. The translation layer breaks the moment a user types a real query in a language a billion people actually think in. What a generic Health AI says I notice you mentioned fever for three days. Paracetamol may help. For accurate Tamil medical guidance, please consult a Tamil-speaking physician or rephrase your query in English. What native multilingual reasoning looks like Moonu naal mela kaaichal irundha paracetamol madhum podhadhu.
