AI Impact Summit 2026: 5 Innovations That Grabbed Attention
The AI Impact Summit in Delhi this week has become a hotspot for futuristic technologies, drawing innovators, investors, and tech enthusiasts eager to witness the next wave of AI-powered solutions. From healthcare and education to robotics and daily life tools, the summit highlighted how artificial intelligence is steadily becoming an integral part of everyday life.
1. Sarvam Kaze - India’s Smart Glasses Alternative
India’s own Sarvam Kaze smart glasses, developed by the AI company Sarvam, are being pitched as a local alternative to Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses. The glasses use AI-powered software to relay information directly to users in local languages, creating a seamless, hands-free interaction with digital data. A quick demo was given to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and the company plans to make the product commercially available by May. Sarvam Kaze promises to make AI technology more accessible and language-friendly for everyday users in India.
2. Ottobots - Autonomous Hospital Delivery Robots
Robotics took center stage with Ottobots from US-based Ottonomy. These autonomous robots are designed to deliver medicines across hospital floors, navigating elevators and corridors independently. First introduced in 2024, Ottobots are now preparing to expand beyond the US, offering a smart solution for efficient, contactless delivery in healthcare facilities, reducing human workload while improving accuracy and speed.
3. Chewie by Mankomb - The AI Kitchen Waste Manager
Addressing household sustainability, Chewie, a product from Bengaluru-based Mankomb, can handle all types of kitchen waste, including wet items like bones, meat, and fluids. The AI appliance processes the waste and converts it into nutrient-rich soil for gardening or vegetable cultivation. With a market price of ₹34,999, Chewie offers an eco-friendly solution for managing kitchen waste while turning it into a resource for growing fresh produce.
4. EkaScribe - AI Doctor for Healthcare Support
In the healthcare sector, EkaScribe is making waves. This AI system can manage prescriptions, maintain patient histories, and organize medical records, acting as a virtual healthcare assistant. Particularly useful in areas with limited access to doctors, EkaScribe ensures that patients receive organized, timely, and accurate medical support.
5. Extra Intelligence by Extramarks - AI to Prevent Cheating
Education also saw innovative AI solutions. Extramarks presented Extra Intelligence, a system designed to prevent cheating in exams and interviews. The AI scans answer sheets and flags similarities, allowing teachers to identify potential academic dishonesty. This tool ensures fairness in testing and helps maintain the integrity of educational assessments.
AI Driving Real-World Impact
The AI Impact Summit demonstrated that artificial intelligence is no longer a concept of the distant future it is here, transforming sectors from hospitals and homes to classrooms and workplaces. Innovations like Sarvam Kaze, Ottobots, Chewie, EkaScribe, and Extra Intelligence show how AI can solve real-world problems efficiently and effectively.
The summit also highlighted a larger trend: AI solutions are increasingly designed to be practical, accessible, and locally relevant, making technology more inclusive and impactful. Attendees left with a glimpse of a smarter, more automated, and AI-driven world one that promises to change how we live, work, and interact with our surroundings.
With these developments, the AI Impact Summit 2026 has firmly positioned India as a hub for AI innovation and demonstrated that intelligent technologies are reshaping everyday life in exciting and meaningful ways.
