Abstract
The rising demand for real-time, automated information services within Nigerian tertiary
institutions has brought the shortcomings of conventional inquiry management systems into sharp
relief. Federal Polytechnic Nekede, Owerri, contends with a persistent backlog of prospective
student queries, admission-related inquiries, and general information requests, particularly
during peak application periods. This study reports the design and implementation of an Artificial
Intelligence (AI)-driven chatbot system, designated NEKBOT, developed specifically for the
institution's admissions and information services. The system employs Natural Language
Processing (NLP), machine learning intent classification, and a structured institutional knowledge
base to generate context-sensitive, accurate, and near-instantaneous responses to user queries.
Development proceeded through the Agile Scrum methodology across six iterative sprints. The
implementation stack comprised Python (Flask framework), Google Dialogflow NLP engine,
JavaScript, and a MySQL relational database. Evaluation outcomes show an intent recognition
accuracy of 91.4%, a mean response latency of 1.83 seconds, and a user satisfaction rating of 87%
on standardised usability measures. The study concludes that AI-powered chatbot systems offer a
substantive remedy to institutional communication inefficiencies and recommends full deployment
alongside continuous model retraining using current institutional data.
The study successfully validated that the intelligent chatbot efficiently bridges communication barriers, automates repetitive administrative inquiries, and improves service accessibility, confirming that the application is highly usable, practical, and effective as an inclusive, assistive communication tool.

International and transfer student check-in processes involve complex, multi-step workflows that can be streamlined with artificial intelligence (AI). This paper presents the design and implementation of an AI-driven check-in agent that automates student onboarding tasks in a university setting. The agent integrates a graphical user interface (GUI) with AI capabilities to guide students through login/authentication, document uploads, advisor assignment based on region, course pre-selection, and real-time status tracking. We provide a comprehensive literature review of similar systems in the U.S. and globally, highlighting how institutions have leveraged chatbots and AI for admissions and orientation. The system’s architecture is described with a technical focus on its Python-based implementation (Tkinter for GUI, PIL for imaging), web integration through Jupyter Notebook compatibility, and open-source API utilization (including BeeWare for cross-platform deployment). We detail each system component and discuss security measures (compliance with FERPA, GDPR) to protect educational data privacy. Challenges such as user adoption, multilingual support, and integration with cloud services are examined, along with future enhancements like machine learning-driven personalization. The paper concludes with expected benefits in institutional efficiency and student satisfaction, positioning the AI check-in agent as a valuable contribution to smart campus initiatives.

This paper presents the design and implementation of intelligent chatbots using Retrieval-Augmented Generation architecture to derive accurate, context-based responses from domain-specific knowledge sources such as PDFs and CSV files. The proposed system integrates information retrieval mechanisms with large language models to overcome crucial limitations of traditional chatbots: hallucination, knowledge cut-off, and inability to access private organizational data. The proposed architecture uses a six-stage pipeline consisting of document ingestion, text splitting, and embedding generation with sentence transformers, semantic retrieval, and response generation via Large Language Models (LLMs). By preprocessing the PDF and CSV documents using a RecursiveCharacterTextSplitter and converting them into 384-dimensional semantic embeddings, the system works via a similarity-based retrieval of document chunks. For implementation, the LlamaIndex framework was used for data indexing and query orchestration, and HuggingFace Transformers for language modeling. Experimental validation conducted on the smart campus chatbot system demonstrated significant improvements in the accuracy, relevance and transparency of responses across education, student services, and administrative support domains compared with a standalone language model. Because of its modular design, it supports a wide range of domain-specific topics without the combinatorial costs of re-training. This is another important application for systems that require regular updates and accurate information. Overall, the proposed framework provides a simple and practical approach for easily implementing domain-aware chatbots.

Property information services at Griya Alam Mandiri currently rely on manual WhatsApp interactions during working hours, often leading to delayed responses for prospective buyers. This study aims to implement a Natural Language Processing (NLP) based chatbot using the IndoBERT model on the housing website to automate 24/7 customer service. The methodology involves extracting 3,082 training data samples augmented with typos and informal language, model fine-tuning, and benchmarking against comparative architectures. The evaluation results show that the IndoBERT Base model highly excels in intent classification with an accuracy of 95.85% and an F1-Score of 95.87%, outperforming Indonesian RoBERTa, IndoBERTweet, and XLM-RoBERTa. This system was successfully integrated into a Client-Server architecture connecting a React interface and a FastAPI backend. The final evaluation through User Acceptance Testing (UAT) involving 50 respondents achieved an overall feasibility percentage of 82.50% (Very Satisfied). In conclusion, the IndoBERT chatbot is proven effective in improving the speed of real-time information services and successfully reduces administrative workloads. Future research suggestions include integrating Large Language Models (LLM) with the Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) method to generate more dynamic responses.
The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into higher education offers scalable support for students but raises concerns regarding over-reliance, reduced effort, and diminished deep learning. This study introduces Michael, a syllabus-aware AI teaching assistant designed to scaffold reasoning through structured, hint-first dialogue aligned with course progression, rather than providing direct solutions. The system was deployed in an undergraduate Structured Query Language (SQL) course across three consecutive semesters and evaluated using a mixed-methods design combining interaction logs, pre–post questionnaires (N = 170), and classroom observations. Results indicate high perceived ease of use (M = 4.43) and a moderate but statistically significant increase in trust following exposure (from M = 3.29 to M = 3.58), while AI self-efficacy showed only minor changes. Usage patterns revealed a bifurcated structure, with students engaging in both short troubleshooting interactions and extended tutoring dialogues. Qualitative findings highlight adoption waves, tensions between efficiency and depth, and the sensitivity of trust to system reliability. These findings suggest that curriculum-aligned constraints and hint-first scaffolding can support instructional integration without displacing pedagogical goals. Rather than demonstrating causal learning gains, this study contributes design principles and in-situ evidence for deploying domain-specific AI assistants in technical higher-education contexts.
