The idea to integrate chat bots in local businesses is indeed innovative. But so far chat bots aren't smart enough to understand various degrees of human communication. Do you think this problem can be easily solved? Also would it be possible for a company to sell it's AI data to another companies on this platform?

certainly the possibilities of the AI are still limited but the strength of this technology lies in its enormous potential! We have now reached a level unthinkable until a few years ago. In particular we are developing our AI with a technology called R.A.N. https://medium.com/assist/theres-a-dozen-ways-to-order-a-coffee-why-do-dumb-bots-only-allow-one-27230542636d

Here are some critical issues that this technology can improve:

It allows the user to change their mind without going back, reducing the hassles of the intricate browsing of "old" chatbots;
It detects all parameters required to perform an intent evaluating the CONTEXT of the sentence and not just the individual inputs;
It works seamlessly with web views.

We do not want the AI to take the place of a human being (at least for personal relationships). Most likely it will do so in the near future, but we aim to bring people together and create places of aggregation. Getting to know each other and looking at each other when they go to an event or buy a product in a store. We are not "Luddites", but we think that everything we do would be better if we only interacted a bit more with other people. Our bot gives indications to go to a place and meet people, make real personal relationships or buy a product by touching it with your hand. Our technology is not aggressive or intrusive, it does not replace man. It simply tries to connect people looking for something of quality with people who are opinion leaders in that area and in that local area. It's exactly like always having a good tip at the right time and in the right place.

We have also integrated the system of the bot also in the webpage (https://www.localflow.com). So while waiting for the tool to be trained better and better, there will also be a simpler system for researching and creating events or services.

As regards the protection of user data we are using IOTA M.A.M. technology https://blog.iota.org/introducing-masked-authenticated-messaging-e55c1822d50e?gi=ad6134b4e4a5. The data you insert in the bot in response to its questions will only be read by other network nodes consistent with your search criteria and will be permanently deleted at the end of the session. We do not care about the trends of your purchases or interests. Each time you will always have to answer the few questions the bot will ask you to look for what you want at that moment (hic et nunc)
