Meet ALF, the AI that helps students find where to live
Inference Group built ALF (Accommodation Living Friend) for Fresh, the operating company of Watkin Jones: a multilingual assistant that helps prospective students get to know the places they could live, then recommends the ones that fit them best.
What Fresh wanted
Choosing where to live as a student is a personal decision, and often one made from another country, in another language. Fresh, the operating company of Watkin Jones, wanted every prospective student to get to know their options properly and be guided to the right one, at a reach and scale no team could staff by hand.
The goal was a genuinely helpful guide, not a form or an FAQ, that could meet students wherever they already are.
What Inference Group built
We built ALF, the Accommodation Living Friend. ALF has real conversations with prospective students to understand what they like and how they like to live, then recommends the properties that best match what matters to them.
ALF works in over 80 languages across web, WhatsApp, WeChat and mobile, so a student can talk to it wherever they are and in their own language. It is one of Inference Group's clearest examples of a public-facing AI product working with real users every day.
Where it landed
ALF is live and public-facing, serving prospective students today — a real product Fresh's customers use to find a home, not a pilot or a proof of concept.
“ALF: a real AI product, talking to real students in over 80 languages, helping them find home.”
