Post #204

Today's #botoftheweek is kinda special. Why is that? Because it's not just one bot. It's 1000 bots. Last year Joshua Browder launched DoNotPay, which is a bot that helps people fight their parking tickets. He got big media coverage because the service already saved people $9.3 million disputing 375,000 parking tickets. Could you imagine? Now he's pushing out 1,000 new bots that can assist people in filling out transactional legal forms in all 50 U.S. states and the U.K. That's huge. Why did he do this? As Joshua added new capabilities to his DoNotPay bot, many early users started to become confused about what the bot could actually be used for. That’s the main reason he decided to release as many legal assistance features as possible, branding them as a full-service consumer legal tool. I personally think this is a brilliant idea because people are not struggling to find the right tool anymore. And the bot itself is a fantastic case study for why people should care about AI, even if it’s not revolutionary on the tech side. P.S this one is not a Medium post as I told you a week ago because at the moment I have no access to the bot to test it. Looking forward to getting it very soon 🙂 https://techcrunch.com/2017/07/12/donotpay-launches-1000-new-bots-to-help-you-with-your-legal-problems/
