CreceConIA, a Colombian company led by CEO Rafael Antonio Rivera Rodríguez, built ColombiaSeLevanta — a free Telegram assistant created to centralize verified emergency information from official sources only.
Rafael Antonio Rivera Rodríguez on LinkedInThrough the bot, people can access practical information such as:
- Official donation points
- Road condition updates
- Hospitals on alert and blood donation needs
- Emergency contacts
- Earthquake and aftershock verification
- Field reports reviewed before publication
What makes this initiative especially important is its commitment to trust.
Every response is designed to cite official sources such as government entities, the Colombian Red Cross, UNGRD, and other recognized authorities. If the bot does not have verified information, it does not invent an answer. It directs people to the appropriate source.
This matters because in an emergency, misinformation is not just confusing — it can be dangerous.
ColombiaSeLevanta is a strong example of how AI can serve people when it is built with responsibility, transparency, and human need at the center.
This is what technology for good should look like: fast enough to help, careful enough to protect, and responsible enough to earn trust.
To use it:
- Open Telegram
- Search @colombiaselevanta_bot
- Tap Start
- Type what you need — no commands, no menus
Please share this. Someone in an affected region may need verified information today.
This is a citizen initiative, not an official government service.
