Key features include conversational style chats, image generation, and converting images into animated clips. These services are available for free on both mobile and desktop platforms.
Airtel, Jio, and Vi tariff hike
Mobile recharge plans from all three major private telcos have increased by up to 25 per cent to achieve an average revenue target of Rs 300 per month.
