Three National University of Singapore (NUS) undergraduates have created a chatbot – College Laundry – that tells students when a washing or dryer machine is available and when their laundry is ready to be collected from the machines.
All the student has to do is download the messaging app and begin “chatting” with the bot using certain command words.
The chatbot’s are Yong Shan Xian, Teo Wei Song, and David Ten from the School of Computing.
Response to the chatbot has been mostly positive, with six other residential colleges in NUS and a Nanyang Technological University residential hall asking to adopt it.
