Hi Ankit That sounds comforting regarding privacy. However, can you let us know of some scenarios where we can use it apart from knowing about PWD act and what other assistants fail to do.
This can help us where and how to explore this tool. Harish. -----Original Message----- From: AccessIndia [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ankit rajiv Jindal Sent: Tuesday, May 14, 2019 1:08 PM To: AccessIndia: a list for discussing accessibility and issues concerning the disabled. Subject: Re: [AI] Disability related chat bot Dear Harish. Firstly, thank you. We appreciate you taking time from your busy schedule to try Mera Mitra & to send in your inputs. We are glad that you find the solution interesting and called it a step in the right direction. Our team is working to get new features to make Mera Mitra experience better & useful for the community. Mera Mitra currently doesn’t have support for “send this info via email”. However, our team is already working on incorporating this feature and we shall keep you all informed on as and when we have support for the same. We understand your concerns with regards to sign-up process. At the outset, let me assure that we are collecting very basic user’s information. Information collected via Mera Mitra will not be transferred to any third parties. There is NO other information that Mera Mitra stores, including access to your contacts in mobile phonebook. The sign-up provides us the potential to add several personalization, including the feature to “send this info via email”. You will start seeing these rolling out in our subsequent releases. Nevertheless, I have noted your concerns and we will examine if there is a way to activate an optional sign-in process. Thanks for flagging this off for us. As we mentioned in our original mail, Mera Mitra is in its infancy, we are are excited of its possibilities and we want to make it better, for the community, with the community. Please continue to send in your suggestions or comments to us via this forum or write to us at [email protected] or call us at 9535767654 (Ankit) or 9986708007 (Pratik).
