An artificial intelligence chatbot is being used in Kenya to respond to text-based questions from pregnant women, according to a report from NPR News published Wednesday.

The report describes the chatbot as a resource for people who do not have a search engine readily available to answer everyday questions that arise during pregnancy, such as whether swelling is a normal symptom or whether certain foods, including avocados, are safe to eat.

According to NPR, the tool is intended to offer guidance to users who might otherwise lack quick access to reliable health information, potentially serving as what the outlet described as "a lifeline" for expectant mothers.

NPR's report frames the chatbot within a broader discussion of maternal health, raising the question of whether such AI-driven tools could play a role in reducing risks associated with pregnancy by providing timely answers to common concerns.

Further details about the chatbot's development, the organizations involved, and the scope of its use among pregnant women in Kenya were not fully specified in the available excerpt of the report.
