Bespoke Inc. creators of the AI-powered chatbot developed specifically for travelers, have launched “Bebot,” which informs and assists residents and travelers about the 2019 novel coronavirus. The designated chatbot can be easily accessed by anyone at http://bit.ly/coronavirus-bebot.

With Bebot, users have immediate access to critical information about the coronavirus in English, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese from any mobile device. Bebot shares health and virus-specific information, such as symptoms to look out for, preventative measures to take and treatment procedures. Additionally, Bebot shares the latest news about the outbreak, current statistical information like transmission rates and contact information to government agencies.

The government and health institutions engage and inform very early on through the Bebot platform with residents and travelers. This early engagement has a beneficial cascading effect in containing the future spread of the virus and mitigates the expansion of this pandemic. Bebot also helps in the early detection of virus hotspots and the distribution of a pandemic and makes those insights available to its government partners.
