Sarvam also said it is working with German engineering giant Bosch to bring AI assistants to cars, though it didn't disclose many other details. The startup also showed off a pair of AI smart-glasses, dubbed Sarvam Kaze, designed and manufactured in India. The company's co-founder Pratyush Kumar said the glasses are a "builders' device" and will be available in May.

The new models and partnerships indicate the company is shifting its focus towards consumer use cases.
