If you are an Ex-Pat and have a question about living in America, we have great news… You can now ask Joey, America’s first Australian Ex-Pat AI!

For nearly a decade, The Australian Community’s Yammer Network answered ex-pat questions and became the largest private Australian ex-pat knowledge base in America. This vast knowledge base is now publicly available simply by asking Joey, our AI volunteer!

Typically, Australian ex-pats use a search engine when they have a question and then have to wade through pages of information and Blog articles until they get an answer. With Joey, you type in a question, and you get the concise answer – specifically in the context of an ex-pat!

Like any AI, answers are dodgy at best without a well-constructed Model of behavior and an ethical, curated knowledge base. We have been testing Joey to ensure that the answers and information are relevant and delivered in a friendly, typically Australian language.

Meet Joey!

Joey speaks to key initiatives of our non-profit organization.

Just Ask Joey!

Over the past decade, we have amassed America’s largest private Australian knowledge base. This knowledge can now be accessed through Joey, our AI Volunteer.

Anyone can easily ask questions on Topics and Conversations with answers based on the knowledge of thousands of Australians in America.

Of course, Joey can make mistakes like any AI, but we closely monitor Joey’s answers and retrain any anomalies so that the next time the same question is asked, it gives the best response.

Our Corporate Sponsors, Australian artists, and cultural events are also winners of this Australian AI. Joey is trained to include events happening in our organization and mention our Corporate Sponsors when questions align with their products and services.

If you have any feedback on our Australian AI, you can tell Joey. We will get the memo!
