A chatbot developed by lecturers at Chulalongkorn University is designed to serve as an education and career coach for learners and students.
The EmpowerMe chatbot "is like having a student counselor or personal coach who can offer advice on how to develop career skills in the digital age so that students can find the job for which they are well suited," says Professor Jintavee Khlaisang. It will also suggest lessons to help a user develop the types of skills needed in a particular career. It assesses a learner's performance and motivates them with rewards in the form of medals.
The application received a gold medal award from the 2021 Seoul International Invention Fair. It has been patented for user-interface design.
