Let's attack this problem: College students have to make many daily transactions with other students and have no organized manner of doing so. This results in unnecessary complications and general inefficiency.
As a solution, we have created a text-based bot that processes individual and group texts via NLU to understand user intents to transfer money.
- Leveraged IBM Watson’s Cloud Technology to analyze user messages for transaction intent
- Utilized Knowledge Studio SDK to custom train Machine Learning Model to tag entities in texts
- Used Natural Language Understanding SDK to process texts and understand user intent
- Used PayPal/Venmo API to transfer money between users when detecting user intent
- Leveraged the Venmo Pay and Request Procedures to handle user transactions
- Utilized API to read text messages between users
- Leveraged SMS platform to send confirmation texts back to users upon successful transactions
- Processed group texts via Nexmo Group Handler
