A2Z
Aileen is a friendly but curious AI who wants to learn all about kindness ... as well as what on Earth Cheeseplosions are.
A2Z is the next installment in the award winning world of JoinTheRez. A podcast and interactive app that ecourages young users to learn about kindness and mental health based on research by the University of Sussex’s CRESS Lab (Children’s Relationships, Emotions and Social Skills).
This was one of our most ambitious projects yet. We created native apps for Apple and Android that allow podcast listeners to chat with our friendly AI Ailleen. This involved very careful integration with OpenAI to ensure that we met extremely high standards of safe-guarding and privacy.
As well as the interactive chat, the apps included games and missions that promoted mental health and well being. And just as importantly are lots of fun to play!
The app was featured on the BBC Radio 4 Today programme.
