At the Frontier Technologies Hub, we work with UKAid to explore how emerging technologies can help to solve the variety of challenges found in developing country contexts.

In this pilot story, we reflect on our SRH chatbot pilot project from Kenya, which explored the potential for pleasure content to influence engagement with the SRH bot itself and outcomes.
