Chatbot311

Inspiration

User friendly methods would greatly improve the functionality on New York public websites. We should be able to search and access information that is requested on our own terms.The open records project made it possible for people to find information, preserve historical records, and New York City government publications.

What it does

Communicates with user with a friendly conversation service. Currently, a Noise complaint can be filed.

How we built it

IBM Watson Bluemix cloud development platform, NodeRed, Facebook Messenger, HTML/Javascript

Challenges we ran into

When our time is valid. We need the collaboration.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We attending the wonderful workshops hosted by CUNY Startups, and made a Chatbot!

What we learned

The IBM Watson software bridges the gap between the screen as an interface and the screen as a tool for complex interaction with visual recognition, speech, and “phrase words”. Based on examples from the IBM Watson developer platform: Retrieve and Rank, Discovery, and Visual Recognition can be tools for classification of unstructured data from Government publications, 311, or Open Data services.

What's next for Chatbot311

Our Chatbot could become the ultimate guide for the CIty of New York.

We will utilize the IBM Bluemix Services in development with limited cost. This will provide an environment in which we could develop a rapid prototype solution. We think a plan to build a free application of a half a GB of free memory every month is plausible.
