The AI system continuously learns from real-time interactions, adapting to customer needs without requiring manual updates.

"Nugget helps businesses scale support effortlessly—highly customizable, low-cost, no dev team needed. No rigid workflows, just seamless automation," Goyal explained in the post.

The platform can be integrated with popular business and communication tools such as WhatsApp, Zendesk, Salesforce, Slack, and Freshdesk. Businesses using these platforms can incorporate Nugget into their workflows, potentially reducing resolution times by 20 per cent and increasing compliance by 25 per cent.

Launch amid Zomato's expanding business strategy

The launch of Nugget coincides with Zomato's revenue growth and rising operational costs. In Q3 FY25, Zomato reported INR 5,405 crore in revenue, a 64.9 per cent increase year-over-year from INR 3,288 crore. However, its net profit fell by 57 per cent to INR 59 crore, compared to INR 138 crore in Q3 FY24, largely due to the company's investments in expanding Blinkit, its quick commerce platform.

To encourage businesses to adopt Nugget, Zomato is offering it for free to companies currently locked into contracts with legacy support providers.
