​Bring an idea, see a WhatsApp chatbot come to life.

​Wondering whether a WhatsApp chatbot could work for your community? Come see it in action.

​In this 90-minute, hands-on workshop, the Glific team will build WhatsApp chatbot prototypes live around real use cases shared by NGOs. You’ll see how an idea can turn into a working bot that people can test on their phones, all in one session.

​What happens in the session?

• ​Explore what chatbots can do: See real examples of NGOs using WhatsApp for FAQs, reminders, data collection, learning and more.

• ​Watch live builds in breakout rooms: Selected organisations will share their use cases, which we'll group by common themes. The Glific team will build prototypes live in parallel breakout rooms. Join a room to observe the process, ask questions and see how a chatbot takes shape around a real programme need.

• ​Show and tell: See what each room has built and hear the organisations' first reactions.

• ​Open Q&A: Ask us anything about costs, implementation effort, languages, low-literacy users or getting started.

​Why attend?

• ​See how an idea can become a working chatbot prototype in one session.

• ​Understand where a chatbot could fit into your programme, and where it might not.

• ​Learn about the effort, costs and team time involved.

• ​Explore what it takes to engage multilingual and low-literacy communities.

​Who should attend?

• ​NGOs curious about chatbots but unsure where they fit.

• ​Programme teams working on outreach, engagement, helplines or data collection.

• ​Founders, CXOs and programme heads exploring technology for their programmes.

• ​Teams working with multilingual or low-literacy communities.

​Have a use case in mind?

​Share it when you register! We'll select a small number of organisations to have their use cases built live during the session. Selected organisations will receive a working prototype and up to $5 in messaging credits to test it with their teams.

​Even if your use case isn't selected, you're welcome to join the workshop, observe the builds, ask questions and explore what's possible for your organisation.

​No technical background needed. Just bring your questions and curiosity!
