Chatbot that acts as a personal assistant that allows users to (1) handle issues that come up while at the airport and resolve them by themselves, and (2) request services and information while in flight.

The app is designed to allow users to make requests, ask questions, and file complaints with Shuri, the virtual assistant chatbot. Shuri will relay necessary information to the user, and redirect them to other features outside of the app, such as their plane ticket via the American Airlines app.

The app is intended to allow users more convenience during their flight experience, both while in the terminal and while on board. Shuri quickly provides direct answers for users, thus lowering interaction that may not abide by social distancing measures, and protecting both customers and employees.
