Mentoring Chatbot using Artificial Intelligence Framework

Abstract

Mentors know only what is verbally said by the students, they are unaware of many problems and struggles that are faced by most of their students who hesitate to talk directly, so to come up with solution combining new technology, we came up with AI Mentoring Chatbot that can easily communicate with students and help them to solve their academic as well as personal problems where students can feel completely secure and anonymous, as well as confident about finding the information they need. The proposed system uses an open source Conversational AI framework. The student will type his/her query in the text box of the Chatbot. The chatbot will then answer the question according to the database. A weekly report will be sent to the respective mentor. The mentor can then evaluate the student’s problem, if any, accordingly. The proposed system can provide an alternative for one to one mentoring sessions.
