About us

Good service shouldn't depend on how busy you are

panankAI is made by Tamiliam AS, a small company in Oslo, Norway, for small businesses in India and Europe.

Small business owners do everything at once: serve the customer in front of them, answer the phone, reply on WhatsApp and Instagram, and keep the calendar in order. Messages wait — and customers who wait book somewhere else.

We built panankAI so that every customer gets a quick, correct and friendly answer, in their own language, whatever time it is — and so that the owner stays in charge of what the AI says and does.

Why “panankAI”?

Panangkai is the fruit of the palmyra palm — a hardy tree from Tamil Nadu and northern Sri Lanka where every part is useful. We liked that: something rooted, practical and generous. The “AI” at the end is the part that works for you.

What we believe in

Honest AI

It tells customers it's an AI, answers from what you taught it, says when it doesn't know — and we're open that AI can make mistakes.

You stay in charge

Approvals, takeover at any moment, and an off switch per channel.

Privacy by design

Built for GDPR from day one; your customers' data is stored in your region.

Plain language

No jargon. If something isn't clear, that's our job to fix.
