BOTI

The CHATBOT OF BUENOS AIRES CITY
Government public attention

The case

Boti answers queries on a wide range of city issues via WhatsApp and other communication channels. It is also integrated with citizen service teams, allowing users to speak to a person if they need to.

The growing number of citizen queries is a challenge and this is where bots come in to provide solutions.

With Boti, 82% of
queries are solved by chatbots,
with only 18% being referred to human agents.

The purpose

The goal was to create an official channel that, through dialogue, will provide a simple, unique and personalised experience for all residents.
On what topics Boti responds
• Citizen management
• Information and queries
• Urban Mobility
• Healthcare
• Reports
• Assistance and support

The channel selected to achieve it

WhatsApp: the most used messaging application in Argentina.
With the purpose of informing and answering the concerns, requests and queries of its citizens.This was possible due to the experience acquired so far in the development and implementation of chatbots and the joint work with Botmaker, the only provider authorized by the messaging company for this solution in Argentina.
+3M
Boti broke its own record with between 3 and 4.5 million conversations per month in 2021.

A superbot

Boti is a generalist bot that answers queries about the City´s services, procedures, and events. This means that, unlike a bot with a specific goal, it generates all kind of responses with a varied offer of content, since it is in the open domain.

In addition to allowing the user to interact freely, it processes its messages and provides them with answers to their questions through the use of Artificial Intelligence systems on the Botmaker platform.

Another great advantage is its transactional feature by interacting with external systems to return a specific response; in this case, about services available in government areas and in external entities, such as weather, parking spaces, or available bicycles, through geolocation. This is possible since the Botmaler platform enables an extensive integration with an easy-to-implement infraestructure.

It is also informative because its contents are in line with the current situation of the City, constantly adapting to changes and new developments.

N°1
IN THE WORLD
