With this release, we are pushing personalization to the next level. Our personalization & relevance is derived using Relevance Graph (proprietary to myBantu) based on various patent pending algorithms that understands the context of users from many dimensions like user intent, geo location, profile, persona in social networks, popularity etc., and recommendations are cranked up. For example, if a user is not sure what to gift his or her spouse, they could ask myBantu. myBantu cranks up spicy, personalized and relevant gift options based on their context and what they like, say a romantic gift basket."

He also said, "We are constantly working on improving myBantu. It is also voice enabled now on Android. Our aim is to provide the most personalized & relevant recommendations to the user and help him or her with their need.

He also said, "We have also gone many steps ahead, combining Artificial Intelligence with Social - and we call it Social Intelligence. Users can also interact with their friends. For example, if a user is planning a diamond-studded watch to present his girlfriend on valentines, he can ask for opinions from his girlfriends' best friends before making a purchase. This way, he is sure that what he has selected would be the perfect gift for his girlfriend, and then order it online."
