Challenge Statements:

If you’re not sure where to start, why not create meaningful chatbots to help others, including:

A. Gen AI for Healthcare:

Caretakers, often family members, face significant challenges in providing quality care for their elderly patients due to limited medical knowledge, time constraints, and emotional stress. Generative AI, acting as a personal coach, can offer real-time guidance, automating routine tasks, and providing access to vital resources and external help. The AI companion will help caretakers in delivering better treatment and care, ensuring their loved ones receive the attention and medical assistance they need.

B. Gen AI for Sustainability:

In Singapore, maintaining a sustainable living habit is often challenged by busy lifestyles, lack of awareness, and difficulty in maintaining eco-friendly habits. Generative AI can help by providing personalized recommendations, automating reminders for waste reduction and recycling, and offering access to eco-friendly resources. This technology empowers families, students, and professionals to adopt greener practices, reduce waste, and save the environment effortlessly.

C. Gen AI for Productivity [Open Challenge]:

Students and professionals often face overwhelming workloads, leading to stress and reduced productivity. Generative AI can alleviate these challenges by generating content or report, summarizing documents, scheduling meetings, and providing real-time data analysis. By integrating AI into daily tasks, students and professionals can achieve greater efficiency and enable them to focus on more meaningful and creative aspects of their work. You can define your own problem related to productivity.

D. AI for You [Crowd-sourced Community Challenge]:

Do you have a topic that’s meaningful to society and dear to you? List your topic at app.smojo.org/chatbotuni/help-me-create-bot and the top favourites may be selected, with templates created for participants to build chatbots around!
