Bhutan Airlines Launches First Sovereign AI Agent by GCIT Unicorn NoMindBhutan
calendar_monthJanuary 18, 2026
We are proud to present a first of its kind, homegrown and sovereign AI agent developed by GCIT unicorn NoMindBhutan for Bhutan Airlines. This cutting-edge, voice-based AI is engineered to support real flight bookings and management services across both voice and chat platforms.
Designed around a Zero-UI approach, the solution leads the way in intuitive, voice-first interaction, while also allowing users to seamlessly switch between voice calls and chat within a single conversation. The AI agent supports over 97 languages, significantly enhancing accessibility and reach.
Built entirely by our final-year students of NoMindBhutan, the system represents a major milestone in developing sovereign AI capabilities within the country.
The NoMindBhutan team shared that the project was a valuable learning experience, involving the development of a multi-agent system with speech recognition, multimodal communication, and complex task execution.
Ugyen Dendup, CEO of NoMindBhutan, said that the project would not have been possible without the trust and collaboration of the President of GCIT, GCIT and Bhutan Airlines. It was a fast-paced project, but we challenged ourselves to build world-class AI systems right here in Bhutan.”
