Abstract

We present ALTCAI, a Wizard of Oz Embodied Conversational Agent that has been developed to explore the use of interactive agents as an effective and engaging tool for delivering health and well-being advice to expectant and nursing mothers in Nigeria. This paper briefly describes the motivation and context for its creation, ALTCAI’s various components, and presents a discussion on its adaptability and potential uses in other contexts, as well as on potential future work on extending its functionality.
