Inspiration: As college students who have a lot on their plates, it is sometimes difficult to actively find help. With this chatbot, we intend to help other college students through an online platform, in efforts to offer easily accessible assistance with a touch of a hand.
What it does: The PurdueTutor takes into account the student’s preferences and connects them with another student tutor fitted to their needs. It first starts off by asking the student what subject they need help in, the type of help they need, and what type of learners they are. The student responses are taken into account and are matched with a suitable student tutor available to help.
How we built it: In order to build the program, we used Eclipse and references AIML (Artificial Intelligence Markup Language) implementation.
Challenges we ran into: A few of the challenges we ran into was finding a feasible idea to develop/create. Through working with multiple mentors and asking a series of questions, we were able to narrow down our ideas to a simple yet effective project.
What we learned: Through this experience, we enhanced our knowledge of how to generate various outputs based on different inputs. We also learned how to create a simple chatbot program in Java AIML through eclipse for the first time.
Accomplishments we are proud of: As our first hackathon, an accomplishment we are proud of is being able to complete our first project. A big factor in accomplishing our project was being able to accomplish challenges as a team.
What's next for PurdueTutor: A few things that are next for PurdueTutor is to gather information to create a database comprised of Purdue student tutors in efforts to offer Purdue students more suitable tutors and help.
Built with: Chatbot, AIML, Java, Eclipse
