Zomato-Blinkit parent company to launch an indigenous AI assistant: ‘Dark.ai’ ensures even the company cannot read your chats; set to launch this year.

Eternal, the parent company behind Zomato and Blinkit, is preparing to launch a new AI app called ‘Dark.ai’. Deepinder Goyal, the company’s founder, stated that users will be able to share their secrets or thoughts on this app without any fear.

Chats will not be saved anywhere, ensuring complete privacy. The app is currently undergoing testing by company employees.

According to Goyal, the guarantee of total data security allows users to share in-depth research, personal information, and complex queries without any concern.

Data will remain secure: Even the company cannot access your chats.

Goyal explained that ‘Dark.ai’ will operate on the company’s own computing infrastructure and secure technology. It will feature end-to-end encryption, ensuring that conversations remain strictly between the user and the app.

Additionally, it will include a unique memory system under the user’s control—allowing you to retain or delete past conversations whenever you choose.

Designed for founders, scientists, and researchers.

The app is specifically tailored for startup founders, scientists, researchers, large corporations, and government offices that require strict confidentiality in their work.

Goyal noted that this AI will not simply offer pleasantries to please the user; rather, it is designed to provide information based on what it determines to be the truth.

Raising questions about existing AI tools and the need for this new solution.

Addressing concerns regarding data theft and privacy in AI, Goyal pointed out that even when users select the ‘opt-out’ option—choosing not to save their data—it remains unclear what happens to that data on the backend. They stated, “When using current, mainstream AI apps, there is always a lingering fear in the back of your mind that someone, at some point, might read your chats. It is this fear and lack of trust that prevents people from fully leveraging the benefits of AI.”

Launching this year; pricing yet to be determined.

The company has not yet disclosed which model will power ‘dark.ai’ or how fast it will perform.

Venturing into the realm of AI software marks a significant shift for the company—a major departure from its existing operations in food delivery (Zomato) and 10–15 minute quick-commerce delivery (Blinkit).

However, the company has not yet revealed whether the app will be free or paid, nor has it indicated the revenue it expects to generate from it.
