Girl Effect: Chatbots, Charity and The Data Academy
This week, we're talking to Girl Effect, a charity helping young girls across the world, and one we at Profusion have worked closely with over the last year. Girl Effect have been using chatbots in really innovative and successful ways to reach more people than ever before. To explain just how this works, we're joined by Karina Michel, Head of Creative at Girl Effect and Mana Tariq, BI Analyst at Profusion and Data Academy graduate, who helped the project come to life. Together, we discuss in-depth how the project was formed, overcoming the difficulty of a chatbot which needs to understand multiple languages, as well as ways in which Profusion's Data Academy can help fresh talent make their first steps in the industry.
