Bots for the greater good: 6 chatbots making the world a better place - Watson

Chatbots are great for customer service, ordering tickets, or just giving you weather updates, but others have nobler goals for their bots. Here are 6 bots, developed using a variety of technologies and APIs, and delivered via different interfaces, that are helping improve the world for everyone. DoNotPay started out as a cheeky service to help drivers get out of parking tickets. Stanford student Joshua Browder became more interested in bots after the online tool automatically challenged over 160,000 of them. People began contacting him asking for help with other legal issues relating to evictions, bankruptcies, and repossessions, so he decided to expand the capabilities of the bot to help homeless people.
