Helper Bot is an artificial intelligence system that can automate some of the tasks you currently have to do manually, like photo classification. Helper Bot looks at your incoming pending photos and grades them for quality. He sorts and color-codes your photos so they are easier for you to approve/deny. You can also configure Helper Bot to send feedback to your users, automatically rotate photos, or even approve and deny photos automatically.

Helper Bot is young and still learning, so bear with him as he becomes better and better at helping you out.

Photo colors

  • Green: Helper Bot is confident this is a good ID photo.
  • Red: Helper Bot is confident this photo would not be good for identification.
  • Orange: Helper Bot isn't sure enough to make a decision.
  • Grey: Helper Bot hasn't had a chance to look at this photo yet.

Helper Bot Settings:

  • Send Automatic Feedback: Once Helper Bot has graded a photo, he will let the student know what he thinks of the photo. Students who have bad photos will find out quicker, and hopefully be able to fix their photo before a human sees it.
  • Allow Automatic Approval: Helper Bot will automatically approve photos it thinks are good, and send an email to the student letting them know their photo was approved.
  • Allow Automatic Denial: Helper Bot will automatically deny photos it thinks are bad, and send an email to the student asking them to upload a new photo.
  • Allow Automatic Rotation: Helper Bot is able to automatically rotate photos. Photos taken with an iPhone are especially prone to arrive sideways. Helper Bot looks at all four orientations of a photo, and picks which one is the best.
  • Allow Automatic Cropping: Helper Bot can automatically crop photos, too. He finds the face in the photo, and centers it within the box of the aspect ratio you have chosen for your organization.

If you find that Helper Bot is approving too many, or too few photos, let us know. We can customize the confidence of Helper Bot to improve his accuracy. He gives every photo a score as a decimal between 0 and 1. If a photo's score is above the "Approval Threshold", Helper Bot will mark it as green, and automatically approve it if you allow him to. Likewise, if a photo's score is below the "Denial Threshold", Helper Bot will mark it as red, and automatically deny it if you allow him to. Anything in between the two thresholds will be marked orange.

Aspect Ratio:

All images need to be cropped to your organization's aspect ratio before being approved. This ensures that all the photos you get will fit on your ID cards. Helper Bot can be configured to automatically crop new images to fit your organization's aspect ratio, to save you from having to do this tedious work yourself.
