This is Tech Insider’s daily dose of tech news — everything that’s happening in tech that you need to know about today from us and our partner publications:
Brands will now be able to build relationships with customers and answer queries without actual humans behind the wheel. Rezo.AI, currently being used by brands like Delhivery, is capable of handling upto 90% of conversational traffic.

Oppo launches a whole new smartphone line-up starting with a 10x zoom
Oppo’s Reno series of smartphones have finally landed on Indian shores. The Oppo Reno 10x Zoom camera is first in the series to launch in the country. The phone will go on sale starting June 7 starting at a price of ₹39,990. Oppo is also launching the standard Reno phone which has a Shark-fin camera at price of ₹32,990.
Why you should care:
The 10x hybrid zoom is obviously the phone’s main selling point, but the fact that it has an AI-drive ultra clear engine with the sole purpose of assisting with night photography is an added bonus for camera-centric buyers.
Flipkart gets a slap on the wrist for deep discounting in India
The Indian government is serious about the new e-commerce rules and isn’t afraid to show it. Flipkart has been banned from selling GOQii products on the platform because of deep discounting, something that’s prohibited under the new guidelines.
Why you should care:
The much awaited sales and discounts on Amazon and Flipkart have already started to dissipate from the online shopping portals. And, looks like they won’t be back anytime soon. Bargain hunting for the best deals might have to happen offline — that is until Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Retail makes its entry. Being a local e-commerce platform, it won’t be subjected to the new e-commerce policy rules.
