Abstract

Abstract: This ambitious project delves into the pressing research challenge of augmenting students’ access to valuable information by harnessing the capabilities of an AI-powered chatbot that draws upon professors’ meticulously curated notes. The methodological approach employed for this endeavor is a comprehensive one, entailing the development of a sophisticated chatbot application. This application seamlessly integrates the prowess of ChatGPT’s natural language API, utilizes Firebase to establish a robust backend infrastructure, and adopts React Native to craft an intuitive and user-friendly interface. The outcomes of this undertaking are nothing short of remarkable. The project has given birth to an innovative application that proficiently ingests notes furnished by professors. Leveraging the unparalleled natural language processing capabilities of ChatGPT, it deftly generates responses to the myriad inquiries posed by inquisitive students, all while drawing upon the rich repository of professors’ notes. In essence, this extensive and groundbreaking project stands as a testament to the fusion of state-of-the-art AI and mobile development technologies. It has ushered in a transformative paradigm, presenting a novel avenue for students to effortlessly access the invaluable materials meticulously curated by their educators. This, in turn, holds great promise for enhancing the quality of learning and boosting overall student engagement Keywords: AI- powered chatbot, Professors’ notes, Chatbot application, Learning and engagement, Chatbot accuracy INTRODUCTION The purpose of this investigation is to develop an AI-powered chatbot that can answer student questions by referencing notes and materials provided by professors. The problem being addressed is that students often need additional support outside of class time to clarify course concepts and materials. Previous work has explored using AI to provide tutoring and question- answering. For example, Smith et al. (2021) developed a natural language processing chatbot to answer high school student questions based on an existing knowledge base. However, their work did not incorporate professor-provided notes. This investigation aims to fill that gap. The thesis and approach is that an AI assistant leveraging notes directly from a student’s professors can provide more tailored and useful responses. The chatbot will ingest professor notes and use natural language processing via the ChatGPT API to understand questions and generate relevant answers. • the purpose of the investigation • the problem being investigated • the background (context and importance) of the problem (citing previous work by others)
