Talent Bridge Finland knows how difficult it is to move to Finland
When we moved, we had so many questions about
– DVV and police IDs
– Housing
– Schooling
– Healthcare
– Asian groceries
– Winter clothing …
and the list went on Now that Aisha and I are well settled in this beautiful country, we wanted to make it easier for other immigrants to integrate and begin their journey
So through the leadership of Jouni Eho and his team we launched an AI Chatbot service for immigrants called SUSAN.fi and we tested it out with 71 immigrants in Riihimäen kaupunki – City of Riihimäki, at the Defence Innovation Network Finland (DEFINE)
The majority of the students were from Häme University of Applied Sciences, HAMK
The people who truly make this event successful were Juha Hiltunen Henri Hallanoro and Laura Manner-Raappana
During a 2-hour period they asked 644 questions regarding integration, housing, healthcare and life in Finland.
The results were better than we expected.
Although SUSAN.fi is in its beta testing phase, we are extremely happy with the answers that it is giving us.
Most importantly, SUSAN.fi does not collect any user information, there is no sign up, so users can chat with it anonymously
Next we hope to work with our friends in Helsinki Espoo and Vantaa and launch a testbed for immigrants in these cities
