Taimi and Rakuten Viber Form Partnership to Create a Bot to Educate People on LGBTQ+ Topics

February, 20, LA - Taimi is partnering with Viber to create an educational bot, in an effort to be a source of community support and education.

If you are not familiar with Viber, it’s a cross-platform voice-over and instant messaging app. Users typically register via their phone numbers. Once they do, they can instant message, and can share all sorts of media. To get an idea of its scope and popularity, Viber has over 1 billion downloads on Android alone. 

The goal here is twofold. We, at Taimi, want to harness the opportunity to reach over a billion users with answers to questions relating to the LGBTQ+ community. By doing so, we hope to promote acceptance, advocacy, and better mental and sexual health. Additionally, this is an opportunity to connect Viber users who are part of the LGBTQ+ community with one another. This will be based on compatibility factors in addition to identified sexual orientations.

The educational efforts involve connecting Viber with Taimi’s LGBTQ+ wiki. Viber users will be able to query the bot and receive basic answers to questions on a wide range of topics that are relevant to the queer community. The bot will also provide vocabulary definitions for words and phrases submitted by users. 

“Our goal has always been to serve the LGBTQ+ audience. This commitment extends far beyond the realm of online dating. By promoting community education, we believe we also promote acceptance and understanding. An educated population is almost always a tolerant one. That makes the world just a bit safer for queer folx of every age.” - says Diana Lysenko, Global Partnerships Lead at Taimi.
