Abstract

This project is an application made with the purpose of homelessness intervention [1]. It allows for the homeless to be able to send requests to a server, and the volunteers will help fulfill them to help the homeless get their life back together. The three major components of this are the volunteer app, kiosk app, and the AI chatbot [2]. The volunteer app is the app used by the volunteers to fulfill the requests sent by the kiosk. The kiosk app is what sends the requests to the server. The AI chatbot is a part of the kiosk app that allows the user to input questions for the bot to respond to. An experiment that was conducted was testing out the accuracy of the AI chatbot, with the result being 83%. Utilizing an app is a good idea because of how prominent cell phones are. This makes it very easy to receive and fulfill the requests as soon as possible.
