This innovation allows users to perform in\u2011app tasks using simple voice or text commands, transforming how users interact with the platform\u2019s services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_the_AI%E2%80%91Powered_Natural_Language_Search_Feature\"><\/span>What Is the AI\u2011Powered Natural Language Search Feature?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Traditionally, users navigate the PhonePe app through menus and tabs to find specific services like payments, recharges, or transaction history. With this new feature, users can replace <strong>menu\u2011based navigation with intent\u2011based conversational commands<\/strong>. For example, saying or typing \u201cPay Hemanth 20 rupees\u201d will direct the app to the payment page with the correct contact already selected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_the_Feature_Works\"><\/span>How the Feature Works<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Built using <strong>Microsoft Foundry<\/strong>, the feature uses a hybrid AI model that combines on\u2011device processing with cloud inferencing. This ensures that the system understands user intent accurately while keeping <strong>personal and transactional data secure within the PhonePe ecosystem<\/strong>. The feature can be accessed via the Global Search Bar, Help Center, and the History tab within the app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Benefits_to_Users\"><\/span>Benefits to Users<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This AI capability enhances user experience in several ways:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Faster and intuitive navigation:<\/strong> Users can directly state their needs in conversational language rather than clicking through multiple screens.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Convenient payments and transactions:<\/strong> Voice or text commands make everyday tasks like paying a friend or recharging FASTag quicker and easier.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Personalised interaction:<\/strong> The AI interprets user intent and guides them to the right service or information within seconds.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Strategic_Collaboration_with_Microsoft\"><\/span>Strategic Collaboration with Microsoft<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PhonePe\u2019s collaboration with <strong>Microsoft Foundry<\/strong> marks a milestone in integrating advanced AI technologies within fintech apps. Microsoft Foundry provides scalable and secure AI infrastructure that helps execute natural language commands reliably for millions of users across India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Phased_Rollout_Across_India\"><\/span>Phased Rollout Across India<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The AI\u2011powered feature is being rolled out gradually to users across India. PhonePe plans to expand its accessibility in phases so that millions of users can benefit from easier navigation and smarter search experiences within the payments app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr
