Welcome AI

WelcomeAI – The Social (M)App for a New Beginning

For newcomers in Rotterdam, navigating daily life can be overwhelming. Information about healthcare, education, legal aid or community activities is scattered, outdated, and often not in their language.

WelcomeAI solves this with a living Social Map. It brings together all local services and support into one always up-to-date map, accessible in multiple languages. Newcomers can ask questions by voice or text, scan official letters, and instantly find the right service or organization that can help.

On top of this, an integrated activities calendar makes it easy to discover and join workshops, events and community gatherings essential for building connections and feeling at home in the city.

For the Mano foundation, WelcomeAI is more than an app. It’s a powerful platform that combines AI-driven updates with human validation, ensuring reliability while saving time for staff. It strengthens Mano’s mission: shortening the path from vulnerable to empowered.
