New chatbot “Aidy” facilitates the recognition of foreign professional qualifications

Anyone who wants to work in Germany often has to have their professional qualifications acquired abroad recognized . This process is crucial for gaining access to the labor market – especially for skilled workers from third countries . However, recognition is complicated for many migrants: different responsibilities, complex requirements, and long processing times often lead to uncertainty. To make this process more understandable and accessible, the official "Recognition in Germany" platform has now launched the chatbot Aidy – a free, multilingual online tool that provides support with questions about professional recognition.

What the chatbot Aidy can do

Aidy specializes in making it easier for users to get started with the recognition process . The chatbot answers general questions about the process, the required documents, and the responsible authorities. A particularly helpful feature is that Aidy is available around the clock, is free of charge , and can be used in German, English, and other languages. This service is specifically aimed at skilled workers who are still abroad and are preparing to move to Germany.

The chatbot is available at www.chatbot-aidy.de . There, Aidy guides you step-by-step through the most important questions:

• What is recognition and when is it necessary?

• What documents do I need to submit?

• How do I find the relevant recognition body for my profession?

• What deadlines and fees need to be observed?

Aidy does not replace individual legal advice , but offers a valuable initial overview – especially for people who have not yet dealt with the recognition procedure.

Significance for international professionals and employers

For VISAGUARD's target group, namely migrants who want to work in Germany, Aidy is a useful addition . The chatbot helps understand the recognition process before initiating legal or administrative steps. Anyone who subsequently needs support with the application or communicating with authorities can then contact specialized lawyers or counseling centers – for example, through VISAGUARD.

Aidy can also be helpful for employers looking to hire international professionals: Companies can recommend the chatbot to potential employees to help them clarify initial questions about recognition independently. This saves time and provides clarity before formal applications are submitted.

A step towards digitalization and service orientation

With the launch of Aidy, " Recognition in Germany " is taking an important step toward digitalization . While much information was previously only available in extensive brochures or on complex websites, the chatbot now enables interactive, easy-to-understand communication. This is not only user-friendly, but also a sign that public administration is increasingly taking the needs of international professionals seriously.

In the long term, Aidy could help make the recognition system more transparent and accessible – especially for people who still live outside of Germany. For VISAGUARD users, the chatbot is thus a useful first step to better plan their path to successful recognition and thus to finding work in Germany.

Conclusion

Aidy is now a modern, accessible tool that makes the recognition process more understandable for skilled foreign workers . Anyone looking to improve their career prospects in Germany should definitely try it out – ideally as preparation for individual consultations with a specialized lawyer or immigration law expert.
