India got its first banking robot- Lakshmi- in Chennai, which was launched by Kumbakonam-based <keyword id="151071" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="City-Union-Bank">City Union Bank</keyword>.<br />
<br />
Superfast Lakshmi is the first on-site bank helper and can answer on more than 125 subjects.<br />
<br />
Lakshmi will answer questions on various questions on loans, bounced cheques, account balance, fixed deposit closure, etc,<br />
<br />
"Apart from answering generic questions, we have also programmed it to connect to the core banking solution. If a customer wants to know his bank account details or transaction history, the robot can flash the answer on its display," said N Kamakodi, MD and CEO, City Union Bank.<br />
<br />
Lakshmi, who speaks English, will also answer confidential information but not loudly. It will be displayed on her screen.<br />
<br />
Interestingly, Lakshmi’s speech is quite relaxed and casual. "Since its artificial intelligence, the robot is constantly learning from customers - the more interactions it has with customers the better it gets," a bank executive told ET.<br />
<br />
In case Lakshmi cannot answer your question, she will ask you to contact the bank manager.<br />
<br />
“Today she can give real time updates of foreign exchange movement, current interest rates at banks for different asset classes like personal, educational, two-wheeler and home loans, possible charges on withdrawals or deposits. But going forward, she might be able to more than that," said its assembler Vijay V Shah of Coimbatore-based Vishnu Engineering.<br />
<br />
Soon, she will also start speaking in Tamil.<br />
<br />
Currently, the bank has readied only one version of Lakshmi and has plans for 25-30 robots deployed at key branches by the end of the year if Lakshmi proves a hit with customers.<br />
<br /> It is worth mentioning <keyword id="6357149" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="HDFC-bank">HDFC Bank</keyword> is also experimenting with robots to answer customer queries, is testing its humanoid at its innovation lab.<br />

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Some singles are using ChatGPT to make their online dating profiles and message with matches.</li><li>Dating coach Amy Nobile says ChatGPT can be helpful, with a few caveats.</li></ul><p>Singles often say they feel stumped when it comes to building an eye-catching dating profile or starting conversations with new matches.</p><p>Enter artificial intelligence. Tools like ChatGPT, an AI program that can generate human-like responses, can be harnessed to assist hopeful daters, according to KJ Dhaliwal, Chief Strategy Officer of <a href="https://u7061146.ct.sendgrid.net/ls/click?upn=4tNED-2FM8iDZJQyQ53jATUdE8mLnZIvqJUK3ccN4AEFQMuA-2F1vulz9vut7YMtAz4mzHrH_PEbG7Gw-2FBcP7ZZ3XAyTATYMnTYSpS2z3mIsjvg5Glzdfb5IiNCvQKDS-2FxvojYhUfQ8qEjg9SL0aPCc7XPVqLHYWe3ajd-2Bvf-2B6JSWX5V-2FTyhqLbyayqwv2YxMEebUzHaTCgF56N4o0-2BrAUUOxCwFvOi2TkCmMOVfcrlkrb4GO7thcFIrcToOe5MDSeC2DGjf0eQ5XcgfmCcMeDkotx922eKa3WqvkQioP4-2BKKm-2FeTcuO6wGTD4CgpJtWGtlld8vW0AS0y8RuEhChPJFrdtKLmR8-2Bv5atvwnWa19B3SnTKmu7Qgu3RXFVelS10qApgUWQhX6ozMkpjPdWp57WEUMprWfybLorW4RycGqaD5t1Ibpw-3D" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Social Discovery Group,</a> a company that builds AI technologies for dating, gaming, and entertainment websites.</p><p>According to Dhaliwal, dating app creators have been using AI on their platforms for years in the form of matching algorithms. But now consumers have a chance to put the technology to use too. Some already are <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-11886669/Men-using-ChatGPT-generate-Tinder-dating-profiles-responses-potential-matches.html">using ChatGPT to message matches</a> and <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/hinge-bumble-tinder-dating-app-profile-chatgpt-how-to-write-2023-3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">create match-worthy written bios</a>.</p><p>ChatGPT can be a useful jumping-off point for stumped singles, said Amy Nobile, a dating coach who charges $20,000 per client. Nobile helps her clients build their dating-app profiles, and she also <a href="https://www.insider.com/flirting-class-with-dating-expert-learn-how-to-attract-dates-2021-8">coaches them through flirting</a>, finding compatible matches and turning feelings of self-doubt and anxiety into hopefulness and confidence.</p><p>AI can't replicate that type of human touch, Nobile said, which could be why none of her clients have requested advice for using AI to date.</p><p>She explained how singles could use ChatGPT, and the times it's probably worth skipping AI.</p><h2>Ask how to answer dating app prompts</h2><p>Singles often make <a href="https://www.insider.com/top-dating-app-mistakes-how-to-fix-2021-12">dating app mistakes</a> like writing <a href="https://www.insider.com/mens-dating-coach-shares-common-mistakes-advice">too-generic profiles</a>, <a href="https://www.insider.com/13-big-mistakes-people-make-on-dating-apps-2018-4">not writing enough</a>, or revealing too much, dating experts previously told Insider.</p><p>To avoid these errors, try plugging prompts from apps like Bumble or Hinge — like "I take pride in" or "I get along best with people who" — into ChatGPT and asking for response ideas. They can be a source of inspiration for singles suffering from writer's block, Nobile told Insider.</p><p>But there are downsides: ChatGPT provided <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/hinge-bumble-tinder-dating-app-profile-chatgpt-how-to-write-2023-3#then-i-turned-to-chatgpt-asking-it-to-respond-specifically-to-the-prompts-kociuba-had-selected-12">inaccurate details about your hobbies or sounded too robotic</a> at times, Insider's Lakshmi Varanasi reported.</p><p>It's important to note that ChatGPT works better the more you work with it and input tailored information. To make the most of it, you can <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-to-use-get-better-chatgpt-ai-prompt-guide">provide context</a> about your personality and interests, Insider previously reported. Or, ask ChatGPT what types information you should provide for the best outcome.</p><p>To do this, you can type: "If I want to [desired outcome], what prompts should I share with ChatGPT in order to get the best results?" </p><h2>Brainstorm eye-catching and authentic photo ideas</h2><p>Photo selection is another common challenge for singles.</p><p>Dating experts say blurry, outdated, and large group photographs detract from profiles, but they still see these mistakes often. Setting aside a couple of hours to take current and clear photos with a friend can instantly transform a profile, and ChatGPT could potentially help, Dhaliwal suggested. </p><p>Of course, your online pal can't take a variety of show-stopping photos for you. But it can suggest locations, outfits, and props.</p><div type="image" title="The author asked ChatGPT to provide photograph ideas for a dating app profile." height="557" width="743" msid="102026383" hostid="261" sizebytes="54586"></div><h2>Come up with a conversation-starter</h2><p>In the spirit of brainstorming, Nobile said singles<strong style="color: #339966;"> </strong>also use ChatGPT to start a conversation with a match. She tells her clients to use their first message to ask a question based on something they've spotted in the person's profile, or ask something pithy yet thought-provoking. </p><p>When, for example, I asked ChatGPT for a fun question to start a conversation with on a dating app, it offered this suggestion:</p><p>"If you could have any superpower, what would it be and how would you use it in the bustling streets of [insert your city or their city]?" </p><p>This is playful and thought-provoking, making it great for starting a lively and illuminating conversation with a match.</p><p>If you land a successful match and decide to go on a first date, you can also use ChatGPT for conversation-starters and questions that will help you get to know your date better.</p><h2>Don't just copy and paste</h2><p>Not everyone can afford the tailored advice of Nobile or other dating pros, so a free tool like ChatGPT, which aggregates advice from expert-cited articles online, can come in handy for quick tips.</p><p>But Nobile said to avoid using ChatGPT-generated content verbatim. No matter the chat-up lines, written bio suggestions, or photo ideas it suggests, editing them will make your profile appear authentic and approachable, Nobile said. One woman who experimented with the copy-and-paste method said it <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/chatgpt-ai-ios-dating-app-b2283598.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">left her with no dates</a>.</p><p>Adding your own spin to AI-generated content is also a helpful practice in asserting who you really are and the types of dates that would make you happy, Nobile said.</p><h2>Avoid ChatGPT-generated conversations</h2><p>Finally, Nobile said she'd avoid carrying out a full conversation over a dating app using ChatGPT.</p><p>The same goes for texting a match, Nobile said. She said it's important to put in the time and energy to express yourself in an authentic way, especially if you expect to get quality dates in return.</p><p>If someone leans on AI too much, they could run the risk of seeming different than they are in person, Nobile said.</p><p>"With AI, you can outsource the basics, but when it comes to like those little innuendos and your specific and unique energy, AI is going to have a harder time translating that," Nobile said.</p>
