Case Study: Chatbot for newcomers in Cyprus

September 29, 2023
In the last years, Cyprus has witnessed a significant influx of relocated professionals, nomads, startupers and investors choosing to work, live and innovate on the island. A lot of them are educated professionals striving to start new businesses in Cyprus or work for local IT companies.

In cooperation with Techisland association, we created the bot designed to help those who have relocated to Cyprus settle in with ease.

Why bot is needed

Relocating to a new country is an exciting yet daunting journey, and the challenges faced by relocatees can often lead to significant anxiety. The maze of legalities, tax regulations, and documentation requirements can quickly become overwhelming. Navigating unfamiliar bureaucratic processes, securing the right permits, and understanding local laws can be formidable tasks. Moreover, issues with transportation, housing, and healthcare add layers of complexity. The constant juggling act of adapting to a foreign environment while ensuring compliance with various regulations can weigh heavily on the minds of relocatees. This multifaceted web of challenges underscores the critical need for comprehensive support and resources to ease the transition and alleviate the anxiety that often accompanies such life-altering moves.

How CY Guide bot works

The bot is designed to assist with various aspects of relocation, including business, rent, documents, kids, healthcare, banking, utilities, taxes and more. Users can choose suggested options or write questions.

CY Guide is a go-to resource for understanding how various services in Cyprus function, whether it's pharmacies, schools, or finding your way to the migration department. Need to locate a specific doctor? CY Guide has got you covered.

What's even more exciting is that the bot continuously evolves through user interactions. Thanks to machine learning algorithms, it becomes smarter and more efficient with each message it processes.

CY Guide has recently been launched in its 1.0 version, and we have big plans ahead! We'll be expanding its capabilities to include topics like shopping, sports and entertainment, travel, pets, and much more.
