Knowbot

Reach is an 'infrastructure' charity, connecting highly skilled volunteers with charities which need their help.

Reach uses Knowbot on its website to advise volunteers & charities about its services.

Go to the charities page and click the Reach Volunteering link to see it in action.

In our Alzheimer's Society example, Knowbot pulls together information from the charity's own website. People living with the disease, carers, and family, gain better access to specialised information and support. Donors & supporters can better understand the charity's work.

Universities websites can be vast. For sixth formers choosing courses this can be challenging, particularly for multi-disciplinary degrees. A university Knowbot helps students ask questions about courses on offer, and find out more by clicking citation links. We've created two examples: City University, and St Antony's College, Oxford.

In our ZSL example, visitors to London Zoo and Whipsnade can ask questions in their preferred language (under development), receiving answers based on ZSL's website. Users explore to find out about ZSL's conservation work, details about animals and each conservation zoo's on-site facilities. Staff can learn about their organization and its partners. Supporters and academics can find out more about the charity's research, and conservation impact. Click the Ask Me button to see more.

Knowbot can also be set up to search multiple websites. In our example "Group: CDC & WHO", try searching for the latest information about Mpox.

In future we may develop Knowbot to help create "knowledge hubs". Hubs would consolidate information from journals, pre-prints, and other online resources, accessing new research upon publication. Researchers could ask field-specific or interdisciplinary questions, receiving answers grounded in trusted sources. Click the Ask Me button to see more. Reminder: this is a demonstration. Neither CDC nor WHO is currently a user.

Knowbot can hold conversations about your institution's own research, making it more accessible.

We've used arXiv - the scholarly archive - as an example. But a college can just as easily easily create a Knowbot over its own work giving researchers, student, funders and the public digestible insights into its research. Knowbots can be set up for organisations, departments or particular projects.

Tip: for explore different persectives, it's often helpful to restart Knowbot's conversation & rephrase questions. Reminder: this is a demonstration. arXiv is not currently a user.
