In this article, we present CuentosIE (TalesEI: chatbot of tales with a
message to develop Emotional Intelligence), an educational chatbot on emotions
that also provides teachers and psychologists with a tool to monitor their
students/patients through indicators and data compiled by CuentosIE. The use of
"tales with a message" is justified by their simplicity and easy understanding,
thanks to their moral or associated metaphors. The main contributions of
CuentosIE are the selection, collection, and classification of a set of highly
specialized tales, as well as the provision of tools (searching, reading
comprehension, chatting, recommending, and classifying) that are useful for
both educating users about emotions and monitoring their emotional development.
The preliminary evaluation of the tool has obtained encouraging results, which
provides an affirmative answer to the question posed in the title of the
article.
