Generative AI Customer Example: Time To Say Dubai – Chatbot

1. Business Problem
Dubai is a global hub for tourism, business, education, and employment, attracting millions of visitors and expatriates annually. However, finding reliable and comprehensive information about Dubai can be challenging, as users must navigate multiple websites for details on visas, laws, schooling, jobs, accommodation, and tourism. Existing solutions are fragmented, requiring users to piece together information from different sources.
2. Project Objective
To create an AI-powered, multilingual chatbot that provides comprehensive information about Dubai, covering topics such as tourism, schooling, accommodation, visa processes, and laws. Additionally, the chatbot integrates a job search functionality that allows users to find relevant job opportunities in the UAE based on their position and location. It supports English and German through intelligent language detection and translation.
