Apply HN: Jam, every student's personal assistant

2 pointsby pforpineappleabout 9 years ago
We are building a text-based supervised A.I. designed to help French students in their daily lives.<p>Jam was born last year. It only speaks French and is available via Facebook Messenger, Twitter DMs and SMS. 50.000 people have already texted Jam.<p>Ask us anything

Students ask Jam pretty much anything. For instance, we get a lot of bar recommendations, job-hunting, miscellaneous advice (love tips, etc.) and a bit less restaurant recommendation, meal&#x2F;cocktail recipes, or shopping.<p>I think it would be interesting to develop the way we handle holiday requests : For example, Jam could help a student get a train ticket to Amsterdam (and an airbnb), and once the user is at destination we could guide them through the city.<p>Jam should be a &quot;background-tech&quot; type of product, avoiding the cumbersomeness of interfaces.

Sounds interesting. I don&#x27;t know French, so could not try it out, but can you please elaborate a bit more on how it helps students ?

What are the most common use cases for Jam so far? What are some others you&#x27;d like to grow?

If your French is not too rusty, feel free to check out hellojam.fr

Why only in French?
