Researchers at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center over in Seattle have helped to develop an innovative smoking cessation app that taps into the latest and greatest AI technologies, including chatbot functionality, in order to come to the aid of people looking for information, inspiration and guidance on how to quit smoking.
The aptly named 'QuitBot' app is a free offering that allows users to interact with a chatbot avatar named Ellen who can respond to queries by providing scientifically sound information and support. What's great about this particular smoking cessation app is that rather than focusing on one-size-fits-all information, it endeavors to provide highly customizable support by tapping into the wonders of ChatGPT's large language model.
This smoking cessation app also offers supports in the weeks following the user's established quitting date in order to help avert relapse.
