Problem
Refugees in the UK often lose access to housing and support services shortly after receiving their status, leading to rapid homelessness and reliance on emergency aid. Navigating complex legal paperwork, housing options, and local customs without culturally appropriate guidance further delays their transition to independent living.
Solution
Imii offers an AI‑driven platform that provides personalized, culturally sensitive guidance to refugees throughout the integration process. A 24/7 smart chatbot delivers real‑time assistance in multiple native languages, answering questions about housing, legal documentation, and everyday life. The system curates vetted local service providers and presents them in an easy‑to‑understand format, reducing the time needed to secure stable accommodation. Users can also contribute their own tips and checklists, creating a community‑driven knowledge base that benefits newcomers. By accelerating the path to independence, Imii helps local councils lower homelessness risk and achieve measurable cost savings.
Target Audience
Primary users are newly arrived refugees and asylum seekers in the UK, while local authorities and NGOs responsible for refugee settlement are the main institutional customers.
