SRI: AI-Powered School Registration Information Assistant

Dec 01, 2024 • 3 min read

Overview

SRI (School Registration Information Assistant) is an AI-powered chatbot developed as a Proof of Concept (PoC) to streamline school registration information. SRI is designed to answer common questions about schools and their registration procedures using pre-provided data, offering a faster, more efficient communication channel for prospective students and parents. Built for flexibility and future expansion, this project demonstrates how AI can enhance user interactions in educational institutions.

Leveraging cutting-edge technologies like JavaScript and the unofficial WhatsApp API (using Baileys), SRI provides a robust demo environment showcasing real-time responses and seamless integration with popular messaging platforms.

Key Features

  • Automated Information Delivery: Answers questions related to school registration, such as enrollment dates, required documents, and contact details.

  • Natural Language Processing: Uses AI to understand and respond to user queries conversationally.

  • Real-Time Interaction: Integrates with WhatsApp using the unofficial Baileys library for immediate, responsive communication.

  • Customizable Data: Built with flexibility in mind, allowing for future integration with various educational systems.

Technology Stack

  • Frontend and Communication Interface: JavaScript-based chatbot leveraging real-time messaging via WhatsApp API (unofficial) with Baileys.

  • Backend/API: predefined school registration information.

  • Natural Language Processing: AI integration powered by OpenAI’s API for conversational understanding.

My Role

As the sole developer for SRI, I was responsible for all aspects of its creation, including:

  • Concept Design and Implementation:
