About Uber

Uber fares are based on a dynamic pricing model, in which fares are higher during periods of high demand for rides. The same route costs different amounts at different times as a result of factors such as the supply and demand for Uber drivers at the time the ride is requested.

When rides are in high demand in a certain area and there are not enough drivers in such area, Uber fares increase to get more drivers to that area and to reduce demand for rides in that area. The rate quoted to the rider will reflect such dynamic pricing.

Pakistani Maven Develops Dante Artificial Journalist. BaseH is currently focusing on media houses that would be able to produce endless content in little to no time with the help of the same staff. It hopes that the AI writer could be used as a supplementary resource by newspapers, tv channels and blogs as it would be able to free up time for editors to focus on other stories.

Pakistani Maven Develops Dante Artificial Journalist. According to a local television channel, the stories written by Dante were sent to experienced journalists in Pakistan for feedback.

One of them said that he could not tell the difference between a human-written story or a robot-written news story.

BaseH is a small company of IT professionals headquartered in Karachi. To make the AI Content Writer, they also enlisted the expertise of software engineers from the NED University.

AI-powered writing assistance programs are becoming better by the day. Grammarly, a popular grammar checker, uses AI-powered products to help with writing tasks. Microsoft Word’s Editor feature also uses AI to understand nuances in writing styles. It not only flags grammatical errors but also points out the use of unnecessarily complex words and overused terms. It also provides smart suggestions. For example, if it marks a sentence as passive, it will reword the sentence in an active voice.


A leading newspaper in the United States, the Washington Post, also has an in-house automated storytelling technology called heliograf, that uses it to cover all high school football games in the Washington, D.C. area every week.

The company is hoping that their AI writer could be used as an additional resource by newspapers, TV channels and blogs as it would enable editors to save their focus on other stories.

Pakistan is a fertile land for software developers and IT professionals, this innovation in content development will certainly change the landscape of technology in Pakistan.
