Usage of Artificial Intelligence without a smartphone

India-based AI startup Sarvam AI has partnered with Finland’s HDM Global to bring AI powered chat capabilities to Nokia feature phones, enabling users to access conversational AI without needing a smartphone or computer. The announcement was made at AI Impact Summit 2026 held at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi.
