SANDI

UPDATE AND HINT ON COMING POST: What does the Peruvian Embassy in Havanna have to with modern day Miami and its recent history? 

COMMING SOON A blockbuster post on the history of Miami and four names who made it happen- at least two you will barely know. 

 SANDI has arrived! Hurray! 

From the "Media Advisory" of the Miami Dade Courts:

The Miami-Dade Courts are proud to announce the addition of SANDI, a new, artificial intelligence-based digital navigation assistant, to our website user experience....SANDI uses text-to-speech and voice command technologies, so those who are using an audio and microphone-enabled device can select the option to verbally ask a question rather than type.... SANDI understands Spanish....SANDI can answer frequently asked questions ... and direct users to the appropriate web pages for forms and instructions. If live assistance is needed, SANDI can connect the user to a paralegal or, if after hours, send a request to have a paralegal contact the user the next business day.

Being a BIG supporter of the Miami Dade Courts, upon hearing of the arrival of SANDI we immediately went to check her out and get some help. 

Rumpole: SANDI I need a notice of appearance. 

SANDI: Notice of Mortgage Foreclosures are found here (weblink to Disney World was then provided).

R: I NEED A NOTICE OF APPEARANCE 

SANDI: Court hours for Probate court are Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. 

R: SANDI email Judge Sayfie

SANDI: Judge Sepe has retired and there is no active email for him. Here is the judicial directory (weblink to a Dennys in Clifton, New Jersey). 

R: I need a summons and complaint for small claims court

SANDI: There are no current recipes for Clams Casino. 

From the media advisory: 

“We are excited to bring this artificial intelligence-based online chat feature to our website. This means our users don’t have to go searching through drop-down menus to find what they are looking for – they can just ask SANDI,” said Chief Judge Nushin G. Sayfie

Rumpole says: That's all well and good Judge, but SANDI thinks you're Judge Sepe and he's been dead a long time now.  

 Oh we see great things for SANDI. In fact we are so excited we dictated the last part of the blog post to SANDI and here is what SANDI understood: 

Rumpole: SANDI represents a new and exciting application of technology.
