I used it to built a working prototype of Spot [1], a Raspberry-Pi powered chatbot that helps people find a parking spot. As a test, the RPI3 was mounted on the lightpost, the Camera Module [2] was used to capture images, so we can count number of empty spots.

Thanks! The idea behind adding a chat interface is to ease the process of accessing to the information while driving. Using Conversational UIs, the driver doesn't need to filter and look for the information himself.

> ... Imagine driving down in the street, looking for a place to park in. While driving, you open your phone, look for a map or a mobile application that provides probabilistic estimation on where you can find empty spots, you take some time to open it and start looking on the map for the nearest parking lot .. how much time do you think you will spend scratching the surface of your phone before getting a ticket ?
