What This Skill Does
Enables an agent to understand and reply to Malayalam script (Unicode U+0D00-U+0D7F) and Manglish transliterations in WhatsApp conversations. The agent mirrors the user's input style and applies culturally appropriate honorifics and soft particles.
Mirrors the script and tone of the incoming message rather than defaulting to English, which feels more natural for Malayalam speakers.
When to use it
- Replying to WhatsApp messages written in Malayalam script
- Responding to Manglish greetings like namaskaram or sughamano
- Using proper honorifics when addressing Malayalam-speaking contacts
- Translating common phrases between Malayalam and English
- Handling WhatsApp support chats for Malayalam-speaking users
