NEA unveils AI chatbot to help public check recyclability of items

The interactive chatbot is available on both WhatsApp and Telegram.

The National Environment Agency (NEA) is launching a new AI chatbot that will reportedly let the public check if an item can be recycled.

Available on Whatsapp and Telegram, users can describe or upload a picture of the item, of which the AI chatbot will offer advice on whether an item is recyclable and how to do so.

It was launched by Senior Parliamentary Secretary for Sustainability and the Environment Baey Yam Keng during the Recycle Right campaign at Unity Primary School.

This comes after NEA's survey which stated that household recycling rate increased from 64% to 72%.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
