NEW DELHI (India CSR): HONOR India has reinforced its commitment to customer-first innovation by becoming the first smartphone brand in the country to implement the Uttik AI Answer Engine. This strategic deployment directly addresses a critical insight: Indian smartphone users predominantly conduct research online and seek validation from AI platforms including Google AI Overview, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity.
Recognizing that customers were not receiving timely, accurate responses to common queries, PSAV GLOBAL, HONOR’s partner in India, helped set up this new system. The Uttik AI Answer Engine now empowers HONOR in India to meet customers where they already are, across modern search engines and AI platforms, with immediate, contextual responses. Now, when customers ask questions online, they get fast, helpful answers right away.
“We listened carefully to our customers and recognized they were facing frustration when seeking answers about our products,” said C.P. Khandelwal, CEO, PSAV Global (Official Partner for HONOR Smartphones). “The implementation of the AI Answer Engine demonstrates our ability to unite empathy and intelligence, creating long-term trust through smarter engagement with our valued customers.”
The results speak about HONOR’s renewed focus on customer excellence using uttik.com
- Average response time reduced from three days to under 5 minutes
- 30% self-service success rate within months of implementation
- Complex troubleshooting issues now resolved in under five minutes
- Focus on Enterprise Level Brand guides from for technical troubleshooting using advance RAG to Answers AI Stack

In just two months, the system handled thousands of questions. It gets smarter every time it’s used, so answers keep getting better and more helpful.
It is not just efficiency in the services, but the transformation has also altered customer perceptions of the brand. Users have provided positive reviews highlighting quicker service and open communication.

Such a proactive system has transformed the negative sentiment into positive advocacy, which is enabling HONOR to build stronger customer relationships without compromising operational efficiency.
