Noy the chatbot
Alcohol continues to be the substance most commonly used by drivers killed, followed by cocaine and cannabis, and in third place, psychotropic drugs.
In the case of pedestrians, of the 221 pedestrians killed in road traffic accidents and subjected to autopsy, 94 pedestrians tested positive for alcohol, drugs and/or psychotropic drugs, alone or in combination, which is equivalent to 42.5 per cent
Beer fun
BEER fans enjoyed a treat at the weekend as Rincon de la Victoria held its Craft Beer Festival, Birra & Art, from Saturday, August 12 to Tuesday August 15 in the Plaza AlAndalus.
ALMUÑECAR Tourist Board is proud to offer Noy which is a chatbot for elderly tourists or those with vision problems.
The councillor for Tourism, Daniel Barbero, confirmed: “We have been committed to implementing technological solutions in our tourist services for more than four years. This is a line of work that has allowed us to be at the forefront of the digitisation of our tourist offices. We are a benchmark at a national level.”
The councillor added: “An important factor to take into account is the use of the chatbot’s natural language, avoiding robotic responses.
“This pilot beta version initially works in Spanish, at a later stage we will be able to incorporate its response capacity in other languages, as it is a multilanguage chatbot.”
The chatbot called Noy can already be used in its beta version on the council’s web page www.visitalmunecar.es.
The event offered 45 different types of beer supplied by nine national and international breweries: Spanish craft breweries such as La Cibeles (Madrid), Blanca y Verde (Cádiz), Segral (Granada), INSITU and Tablada (Sevilla), Paulaner Munchen (Germany), La Chouffe (Belgium), Hop House (Ireland), Foster’s (Australia).
There were also 24 stands with international gastronomy including German sausages, Latin food and Argentinian barbecue, to name a few.
