Tenant Assistance/Eviction Fighter Chatbot

[geckya]

If you're interested in chatbots and/or tenant rights issues, check out #p-eviction-chatbot! Inspired by the "DoNotPay" bot, whose inventor was featured on Partially Derivative earlier this year, this project was prototyped during the Sketch City Houston Hackathon. An initial version for Houston tenants is operational, and the eventual aim is to make a chatbot that can provide advice and, in some cases, legal document generation, to users throughout the US.

There are a few well-defined issues already spelled out in the GitHub repo, including:

• evaluation of different chatbot frameworks (the prototype was built using motion.ai, but that may change for the next iteration)
• front end development help (the prototype is accessed through a simple GH page)
• automatic document generation
  and more!
