DEVELOPMENT OF CHATBOT TO FETCH STUDENTS' ACADEMIC INFORMATION
Abstract
A chatbot is a computer program that interacts with users through language. Processing words, texts, and commands. In the academic sphere, the ecosystem for consulting student information between teaching centers is quite similar, they provide portals where students can consult academic data, such as school reports, registered subjects, and useful telephone numbers. The purpose of this article is to develop a rules-based chatbot to assist students in querying this information. The software was developed using Database, API, Python programming language, Visual Studio Code, and the Telegram messaging application. Among the conclusions, the advantage of providing a new portal using chatbot to consult student information is pointed out, being a platform of easy and quick access, bringing updated information to each line of text typed.
