Eternal to Launch Privacy-Focused AI Assistant Dark.ai Globally in 2026
Eternal, the parent company of Zomato and Blinkit, is set to launch Dark.ai, a privacy-focused AI assistant, globally by the end of 2026. Founded by Deepinder Goyal, Dark.ai uses end-to-end encryption and an encrypted memory layer to ensure user conversations remain private, even from the company. Designed for power users like researchers and enterprises, the platform aims to address concerns about data retention and privacy in AI interactions. Dark.ai has been tested internally and will run on fine-tuned open-weight models hosted on Eternal's infrastructure.
