Next Stop Toronto is a template for creating a virtual tour of Toronto history, businesses and culture.

 

The goal of this Riipen LevelUp project is to program AI as a chatbot. The chatbot's duty is to answer questions for things to do (i.e., local activities, events, classes, etc. in Toronto). I want to promote local businesses only.

 

On my page Instagram page, I have suggestions for activities we can plug into the chatbot programming. Will use open-source chatbots for Instagram. Here's some examples. BotPenguin, SMMBOT.net, Chatfuel, Botpress, Rasa, and Wit.ai.

 

Or perhaps even better, make our own app and integrate a chatbot into that! Forget social media. And just make an app with a chatbot! That's ideal.

 

I have suggestion for app templates such as the Dottie app. However, the main goal is to create a chatbot that is programmable by me. That is, I want to work with the intern at times, to help them through the process, and create a better working system as a collaboration.


Next Stop Toronto aims to enhance the visitor experience by developing an interactive app featuring a chatbot that serves as a virtual tour guide for Toronto. The goal is to create a user-friendly application that provides tourists with real-time information about popular attractions, historical sites, and local events in Toronto. The chatbot should be capable of answering frequently asked questions, offering personalized recommendations, and guiding users through various points of interest in the city. This project will allow learners to apply their knowledge of app development, natural language processing, and user interface design. The project focuses on creating a seamless and engaging experience for users, encouraging them to explore Toronto's rich cultural and historical landscape.

Deliverables

The project deliverables include a fully functional app with an integrated chatbot designed to operate as a virtual tour guide for Toronto. The app should feature a user-friendly interface, allowing easy navigation and interaction with the chatbot. Additionally, the chatbot must be capable of providing accurate and relevant information about Toronto's attractions, events, and history, especially promoting pages of our clients and donors. A comprehensive testing report and user feedback analysis should be included to ensure the app's effectiveness and usability.


Summary:

A functioning app with a programmable chatbot and/or a chatbot for my social media pages. A chatbot that is easily adjustable and maintained, while being accurate and human sounding when making recommendations for activities in Toronto. The chatbot funnel ends with a survey of "good or bad" response, and an invite to DM me with a specific question.
