Info from the Alcohol and Drug Foundation, powered by AI

Our Drug Info Bot is powered by AI. But, our website is the source of all their knowledge – so you know the info you’re getting when you chat to dib is reliable and based on evidence every time.

Many people seek alcohol and drug information online, but health websites can be difficult to navigate and ChatGPT is often unreliable. To fill this gap, dib has been built using a Large Language Model (LLM) which draws on the ADF's evidence-based content to answer your questions.

They can interact with you using everyday language to provide quality health information in an accessible, quick and trustworthy way. dib is one of the very first chatbots of its kind in Australia.

To create our Drug Info Bot, we engaged a dedicated team who went through an extensive development process, including an evidence review, multiple rounds of user testing and oversight from a clinical advisory group.

When you chat with dib, your conversations are always anonymous and secure.
