Zoho's Massive AI Leap: 'Zoho Hubs' & Universal Zia Search Launched!
Stop switching between tabs. If you work in a corporate environment, you likely spend 20% of your day just looking for files. Was that invoice in email? Was it on Slack? Or was it in the drive folder?
This week, Indian tech giant Zoho dropped a massive update to their "Operating System for Business," Zoho One. The headline? A new AI integration that connects over 50 applications into a single "Brain." Imagine asking your email app to show you accounting data—and it actually works. Here is everything you need to know about the new Zoho Hubs and Zia AI update.
The Big 3 Features Changing the Game
According to the latest reports from Jaipur and Chennai, the 2025 update focuses on "Cross-App Intelligence." Here is the breakdown:
- 1. The "Supercharged" Zia AI: Previously, AI lived inside specific apps. Now, Zia sits above them. You can ask Zia, "Show me all payments made last month," and it will pull data from Zoho Books, Zoho Mail, and Zoho CRM simultaneously to give you a single summary.
- 2. Zoho Hubs (The Auto-Organizer): This is a new portal designed to kill chaos. It automatically saves and organizes your digital assets.
- Example: If you record a meeting in Zoho Meeting, the recording, transcript, and action items are automatically saved to a "Hub." No manual uploading required.
- 3. Meeting Summaries on Autopilot: Did you miss a team call? You don't need to watch the hour-long recording. Just command Zia to "Summarize the meeting," and it generates the key points instantly.
🇮🇳 Native India Focus
This isn't just for English speakers. The new update supports 12 Indian languages, including Hindi, Tamil, and Assamese, making high-tech accessible to SMBs across Bharat.
Why This Matters for Your Business
Zoho One is currently used by over 75,000 businesses globally, with the average company using about 22 different apps within the ecosystem. By unifying the data layer, Zoho is challenging giants like Microsoft Copilot and Google Gemini for Workspace, but at a fraction of the cost.
The Pricing Shock: Despite these massive AI upgrades, the pricing remains incredibly competitive, starting at approximately ₹1,250 per employee/month for the full suite.
