Your Ruddington Village Guide
Ruddibot started life in August 2025, with the idea of creating a village chatbot popping into my head during a walk around the country park. The project has two aims: learning how AI actually works, and building a knowledgeable, useful and friendly AI tool that residents and visitors can use to find out more about our amazing village — its history, events and facilities.
What can Ruddibot do?
Ruddibot is designed to draw on a range of data sources — local history files, FAQs, parish notices, and dynamic information pulled from specialist local websites. Ask about:
- Events and what's on this week
- Local businesses, venues and services
- Village history and heritage
- Parish Council news and announcements
- The weather in Ruddington
A community project
It would be great to make Ruddibot a community project, drawing on the skills and knowledge of local people. That doesn't just mean IT skills — it means helping define what Ruddibot should do, curating historical information, and helping to build traction in the village.
