In one of our other use cases, we are building an automated RSVP tool for legal clinics. It lets people organizing a social service event to advertise it with a text message phone number as the RSVP method. People can text the automated line, to say if they will come, and ask for certain kinds of help — directions, child care, specific services, etc.

It will help the clinic organizers better prepare and staff the event. It will also increase follow-through of attendance, by making it easier to figure out exactly how to get there.
