COVID19 information: School student, brother develop chatbot for Chennai Corporation

Ever since the lockdown began in the March, there are a lot of false news circulating on Social media. While the Greater Chennai Corporation is doing its best to look into all the news, it is certainly difficult for them as there were so many.

Now, two brothers Shaamil Karim and Shaaban Karim have come up with a chat bot to help the residents with FAQs and to help create awareness on false news. Currently, the bot works on Facebook official page of Chennai Corporation.

“We reached out to the Greater Chennai Corporation with an idea for a Chatbot that could be made available on their social media pages and worked on this over the last two weeks. The bot has essential information ranging from helplines, updates on COVID-19 to testing centres and details about the restrictions in place,” explained Shaamil, who is studying 12th standard. His brother Shaaban is doing his third year college.

“A resident who is looking for information regarding the latest announcements by the GCC about restrictions, the procedure to apply for travel passes or even to find out where the testing centre nearest to them is can make use of the information the Chatbot provides,” he said.

As an update, the brothers are currently working to make the bot available for both Telegram and Twitter.
