Bishkek, Aug. 20, 2026. /Kabar/. An AI assistant is now available on the official website of the 2026 World Nomad Games, allowing visitors to ask questions about the Games and receive answers in Kyrgyz, Russian, or English. The new solution has been launched as part of a partnership between the World Nomad Games and AIRUN, a Kyrgyz AI company.
The World Nomad Games bring together sports, cultural, and scientific programs and serve as an international platform for preserving and promoting the heritage of nomadic peoples. In 2026, the Games return to the Kyrgyz Republic, where they were first held in 2014.
A major international event inevitably generates thousands of practical questions: where and when competitions will take place, how to get to a particular venue, where to buy tickets and how much they cost, what events are scheduled for a specific day, and how the Games program is organized.
Visitors can now get answers to these questions directly on the World Nomad Games website. Simply open the AI chat in the bottom-right corner of the website and ask a question in Kyrgyz, Russian, or English.

AIRUN serves as the technology partner for the project. AIRUN is an ecosystem of AI products developed in the Kyrgyz Republic. At its core is a proprietary language model with a deep understanding of the Kyrgyz language, its grammar, and local context.
The partnership between AIRUN and the World Nomad Games goes beyond the AI chat. Specifically for the Games, the team is also creating a digital AI avatar that can be used to communicate with audiences. Another area of collaboration is emotionally expressive AI voice generation, primarily in Kyrgyz, enabling natural-sounding speech with appropriate intonation and emotional delivery.
“As a company building our own sovereign artificial intelligence in the Kyrgyz Republic, it is particularly important for us to be part of a project like this. The World Nomad Games showcase our history, culture, and traditions to the world. At the same time, we want Kyrgyzstan to be known as a country capable of creating its own advanced technologies and deploying them at major international events. For us, this is an opportunity to demonstrate that world-class AI solutions can be developed here, by our own engineers, in our own language,” said Chingiz Arziev, CEO of AIRUN.
