She will be programmed to answer a number of questions about birth, death, marriage registration and citizenship, as well as help guide the right path for visitors.

Brent County officials say virtual images costing less than $ 19,000 are considered less expensive than recruiting real receptionists.

"This is a kind of space-age technology that you've just heard, but never seen before, especially in government offices ," said James Denselow, commissioner and client of the council. said Brent.

In his view, the most important thing is that it will help the council save money without compromising public service.
