On this episode of NYAC, the ladies chat with Ladi and Sam (two-thirds of the Road Preppers team)about Lara.ng, a chat-bot designed to provide transport information to individuals living within the Lagos metropolis. We learn about their professional careers prior to creating lara.ng, the necessary and intensive legwork required for data collection and how the chat-bot is sustained financially.
