A newly formed startup company, led by dynamic CEO Pulkit Goel, develops an AI assistant named Xanti, designed to comprehensively assist patients, suffering from physical as well as mental ailments, in every possible way. Among all the developers, the young Ryan Malik proves to be the crème of the crop. Ryan, who himself struggles with acute anxiety disorder and loneliness, strives to make Xanti as humane and effective as possible.
Xanti becomes a huge success, healing people on a mass level. However, after a series of accidents, the police attempt to lay blame on Ryan and Xanti. The subsequent investigation further questions the relevance of AI and its possible consequences on social affairs.
Xanti's purely humanitarian intent challenges the traditional markers of right and wrong. Could Pulkit prove the credibility of his product? Or will he himself succumb to the fear and cynicism?
After all, his one decision could decide the future of AI!
