Assamese innovator launches MK3: A multilingual AI chatbot for masses

Our Correspondent

Tezpur: In a remarkable fusion of innovation and inclusivity, Gautom Das, a Bengaluru-based technology innovator originally from Tezpur, Assam, has launched MK3, an advanced multilingual AI chatbot designed to make artificial intelligence more accessible, especially for non-English speakers and underserved communities.

Gautom Das, the son of the late educator Madhab Chandra Das of L.D.S. Road, Tezpur, developed MK3 as part of his third major AI initiative. Driven by a vision to bridge the digital divide, he has built this chatbot to assist people across diverse linguistic, educational, and socio-economic backgrounds. Unlike many existing AI tools that are largely English-centric or require technical skills, MK3 is designed for simplicity, affordability, and local language use — targeting students, small businesses, and ordinary users who need conversational AI support without any coding knowledge or costly subscriptions.

According to Das, “AI is too powerful to remain limited to the privileged few. MK3 is built to assist people in their own languages, with no need for coding or expensive tools. It’s about making AI work for everyone — from a schoolchild in a village to a shopkeeper in a small town.”

MK3 offers a multilingual interface that can adapt to multiple Indian and global languages, helping users interact naturally and effectively. As a browser-based tool, it ensures privacy and security by avoiding data storage and removing the need for app-based installation. At its core is a patent-pending Dynamic Context Orchestration Algorithm (DCOA), an intelligent engine that allows MK3 to manage varied tasks and interactions—whether educational, business-related, or general enquiries—while switching tones, languages, or context as needed.

Importantly, MK3 is ethically engineered for safe use, particularly for younger users. It does not request or store any personal information, ensuring a secure environment even for school-aged students.

Initial pilot trials conducted in Tamil Nadu demonstrated the chatbot’s effectiveness in educational settings. Teachers and students found MK3 easy to use, engaging, and highly relevant for bilingual learning and doubt-clearing. One teacher in Chennai noted, “The simplicity and speed of MK3 are impressive. Our students found it relatable and even fun. It encouraged them to explore topics more independently.”

With a goal of reaching one billion users globally within the next five years, Gautom Das envisions MK3 as a tool that humanizes AI, makes it locally relevant, and expands its benefits to populations traditionally left out of the digital revolution. He emphasizes that MK3 is not only practical and accessible but also built on values of safety, cultural sensitivity, and ethical use.

MK3 is currently in its early access phase, with plans underway for broader public trials, multilingual expansions, and product demonstrations. More information and updates can be found at www.mountkan.com.
