Project COVID Delivers Fast Answers to COVID-19 Questions
We’re all looking for answers to questions about COVID-19 without worrying about misinformation or diving into a potentially long research session. The Project COVID virtual assistant is an AI-powered chatbot that reads and digests information from trusted sources to help answer your COVID-19 questions.
While the assistant will not replace a medical professional, it does a very good job of answering common questions about COVID-19. Project COVID sources data from trusted sources to answer your questions in a conversational tone. Since this is a chatbot, it feels a lot like texting with a friend who’s done the research.

I tested the virtual assistant this afternoon to get information about recommendations for wearing a mask in response to concerns from friends. It can also walk you through a COVID-19 self-assessment if you are feeling sick or caring for someone who is sick.
