The sky remembers: Wau Cenderawasih bot awakens the spirit of Pahang

The Wau Cenderawasih, a traditional Malaysian kite from Pahang, has fallen into obscurity despite its rich cultural and historical significance. In response, the CenderaWauBot—a rule-based conversational AI system—was developed to digitally preserve and promote this vanishing tradition. The chatbot delivers interactive storytelling, educational content, and cultural insight through dual-gender personas tailored to user demographics. Integrated into social media and web platforms, CenderaWauBot provides real-time engagement, quizzes, and visual prompts to spark curiosity and appreciation for Wau Cenderawasih. The system also supports artisans by sharing authentic crafting processes and historical narratives, aiming to reignite pride in Pahang’s intangible heritage. This innovation bridges culture and technology, ensuring that the skies of Pahang never forget.
