AI chatbot will solve the queries of the students in IIT Guwahati

A team of PG students along with their faculty members from IIT Guwahati are developing an AI-based chatbot - ALBELA - which will aid in teaching to the first-year students of Electrical & Electronics Engineering (EEE) at the institute. The researchers are from the department of EEE. The chatbot will also be able to handle the queries and doubts of the students. According to the statement from IIT Guwahati, the chatbot will help the students in finding their class schedule, tutorial schedule, examination queries and more through a simple AI-based chat window. "We have been working on its development since last 7 months with a team of dedicated 7 research scholars of the department. Earlier we did the trial runs of the Chabot, and started using from this academic session onwards," Prof. Praveen Kumar, Professor, Department of EEE, IIT Guwahati, said.
