Yagona integrator Uzinfocom welcomes Chinese partners (and make no mistake: those in the traditional Uzbek attire are not the host team;))—
The management team of UZINFOCOM convened a formal meeting with representatives from iFlyTek, a prominent Chinese enterprise specializing in artificial intelligence and speech technology.
The discussions focused on the integration and advancement of the Uzbek-language voice assistant Muxlisa into the latest Chinese electric vehicles that are both imported to and manufactured in Uzbekistan. Additionally, the meeting explored potential collaborative ventures for the application of artificial intelligence technologies across various sectors.
 “Collaborating with UZINFOCOM is indeed a privilege for us. Your organization’s extensive experience and potential instill a strong sense of assurance in the success of our collaborative endeavors. United in our efforts, we are poised to encapsulate and celebrate the profound history and cultural wealth of the Uzbek language, thereby fostering a sense of unity among the electric vehicle users of Uzbekistan,” noted Mr. Duan Dawei, the Vice President of the company.
