Zoho Zia Chat
Unified conversational AI interface across Zoho's suite and non-Zoho apps via MCP; early access opens in a month, model-agnostic, designed to cut token consumption.
Why it matters
The 'UI for AI' thesis: one chat layer strips away app UIs across sales, marketing, support, HR and finance, respecting enterprise permissions, from the face of India's homegrown software push.
What you could build with it
Ship a vertical Zia-Chat-style assistant for Indian dental-clinic chains that answers in Hinglish, pulling appointments, billing and stock into one WhatsApp-style chat with MCP connectors.
Does it hold up?
Cannot be judged yet. Early access opens about a month after the September 23 launch, so no hands-on reviews, demos, or MCP integration builds exist.
