About this project

What you'll build: Create a basic chatbot that answers common questions about your college, like admission dates, campus facilities, or contact details. The chatbot will use simple rules to match questions and reply with helpful answers.

Why it's a good starter: This project is beginner-friendly and doesn't require any advanced AI knowledge. You'll focus on designing question-and-answer pairs, building a simple interface, and understanding how chatbots work-without needing to code complex algorithms.

What you'll learn: You'll practice breaking down problems, working with basic programming, and creating useful tools for real users. By the end, you'll feel confident building simple interactive projects and ready for more advanced AI topics.

Milestones

1. Setup & Plan

10 marks 5d

Submit a short plan: list 10-15 FAQ questions and answers relevant to your college. Show your development environment is ready (screenshot of Python or JS running 'Hello World'). Your plan should outline how you'll match user inputs to answers.

2. Core Build: Chatbot Logic

30 marks 10d

Submit working code for the main chatbot logic. The chatbot should ask for user questions and respond based on rules (if-else or keyword matching). Show it answers at least 10 FAQ questions. Code should be commented and easy to follow.

3. Core Build: User Interface & Extra Features

30 marks 10d

Add a simple text interface (command line or web, e.g., HTML/JS page). Implement at least one extra feature, such as a greeting, fallback for unknown questions, or logging Q&A pairs. Submit updated code and screenshots of the interface.

4. Testing & Polish

15 marks 7d

Test the chatbot with at least 10 real or sample questions (some not in your FAQ). Submit a brief log of test cases and results. Refine question matching and polish the interface based on feedback.

5. Demo & Short Report

15 marks 7d

Submit a simple demo video (2-3 mins or screenshots) showing your chatbot in action. Write a short report (1 page): what worked, what was tricky, and what you learned.
