With All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC) Wimbledon''s Church Road site spreading over 13.5 acres and facilitating up to 39,000 spectators in the grounds at any given time, it can be hard for visitors to find their way around the site.
"For those on the ground, there’s ‘Ask Fred’ – a Watson-enabled bot (named after Fred Perry) whose job is to help visitors familiarize themselves with the layout, locate dining options and facilities, and generally get the most out of their experience. ‘Ask Fred’ uses a Natural Language Interface (NLI) to understand questions such as ‘where can I buy strawberries’, or ‘where are the closest toilets’, making it simple to use." The bot was "launched in 2017 to provide a personalised on-site visitor experience and further enhanced for 2018."
