Kiki Auto officially reached 1 million car installations

Launched in December 2020, after 4 years of development, the "made-in-Vietnam" virtual assistant - Kiki Auto has officially reached the milestone of 1 million installations and uses on cars. Launched in December 2020, Zalo AI's Vietnamese AI virtual assistant recorded an average of nearly 1,100 installations and uses per day in 2024, with some times reaching nearly 2,000.

According to reviews from the community and experts, Kiki Auto is loved by users for its ability to respond quickly and accurately to requests for music, directions, and in-car controls thanks to its ability to listen and understand Vietnamese well. Easy communication between the driver and AI has helped Kiki Auto quickly become popular in Vietnam. On this occasion, Kiki Auto has also upgraded the speed warning feature experience version compared to the previous limited test version, supporting trial use until March 2025.

Sharing about this feature, Mr. Nguyen Hoang Khanh Duy - Product Manager at Zalo said: “Understanding the needs of car drivers in Vietnam, the Kiki Auto team has invested in researching and developing the speed warning feature with increasing perfection. With the existing strength of AI as well as the experience of developing products for Vietnamese people, the team has integrated complex data and signal processing algorithms to ensure accuracy as well as optimize the user experience. In the future, we will continue to upgrade this feature to help drivers have a steady hand on all roads.” Compared to the first test version, the current version has been upgraded in terms of accuracy as well as enhanced speed data on inter-provincial roads. In addition, the development team also optimized performance and refined the experience to be more user-friendly. Previously, the early experience version with activation code was opened to user groups in November 2024 and received positive reviews. The development team also regularly receives contributions from real-life user experiences to continuously optimize features. With the upgrade launched in December, car owners will not have to register but only need to open the Kiki Auto application on the Android screen and turn on the speed warning feature to use. In the coming time , Kiki Auto will develop more new useful and practical features specifically for Vietnamese people. With this orientation, the development team will further strengthen Kiki Auto's understanding and communication ability in Vietnamese, thereby bringing many new smart driving features in addition to the features that are familiar to users such as directions, listening to music, and looking up information. Kiki Auto is also promoting cooperation with global brands on the journey to make its mark in the Vietnamese market, typically including 25 partners in the field of smart screens such as Zestech, Gotech, Bravigo, Safeview, OledPro, Steelmate, Teyes... Recently, the Kiki Auto test version was also integrated on the BYD Atto 3 electric car model to control important features of the car such as opening the camera, increasing and decreasing the volume or rotating the physical screen. In 2025, Kiki Auto will promote its plan to appear as a pre-installed assistant application on genuine car models.

According to the October 2024 sales report of VAMA - Vietnam Automobile Manufacturers Association and TC Motor, nearly 1,250 cars are sold in Vietnam every day.
