Inspiration
So the inspiration was mainly from Joseph as he wanted to create a chatbot that will quickly respond to the common problems that people might encounter with zoom. Since most students and teachers are not used to digital learning, we wanted to help them find quick and concise solutions to some problems they might face.
What it does
It's a chatbot website that will do its best to try to respond with solutions towards the question that the user poses about common Zoom issues.
How we built it
We used HTML and Javascript to make our website while following a tutorial on "How to make a chatbot with Javascript". Then we put our own twist into modifying the tutorial to fit our own needs. CSS was used for design and the overall aesthetic of the website.
Challenges we ran into
We encountered coding limitations because most of us are beginners and some of the code is outside of our capabilities so we're forced to keep it simple.
We also encountered compatibility issues because a group member was using a Chromebook instead of a Windows or MacOS PC.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are proud that we managed to produce this project even with our limited coding experience.
We are also proud because we were able to try and learn something new.
What we learned
We learned functions in HTML, CSS, and Javascript.
We also learned how to work effectively within a team.
What's next for Zoom Assistant Chatbot
We could upgrade the methods of programming the chatbot to incorporate basic natural language processing algorithms like bag of words or tf-idf, so the chatbot can better understand the user input.
