At OurTechnology, we create technology solutions to empower and equip those who serve the homeless. We have a large data set of available resources in the US to aid in helping those experiencing homelessness find local resources, community, and support.
This private (but public to read) API is used in our ChatGPT Assistant, Homeless Services.
Why a ChatGPT Assistant?
- OpenAI announced on May 13, 2024 that free users will soon be able to "discover and use GPTs and the GPT Store (OpenAI)"
- There's a larger number of people experiencing homelessness who own a phone than what I imagined.
- ChatGPT allows for a simple interface, even with voice chat (a more natural way to navigate the tool), to find resources to help those experiencing homelessness. And, it's fast!
- The data set has been compiled together over the years and will continue to be updated as new techniques and partnerships make that possible.
- We use Typesense, a search as a service tool, to provide lightning fast search results for homeless resources near you.
- This endpoint is created with Hono and is an incredibly easy way to create an API.
While this is on Cameron Pak's ValTown, this code is owned and operated by OurTechnology.
