===== Introduction / Summary ===== ==== Motivation ==== A large number of companies are renewing their customer service in order to quickly bring their range of offers to potential buyers. Digitalization is a useful tool for bringing information to interested parties. The chatbot plays an important role here. Chatbots are dialogue systems that communicate via voice or text messages. Chatbots are used in various areas and present a variety of offers to inform users. There are also other categories, such as chatbots, which provide specific information about the weather. The Beuth University of Applied Sciences in Berlin offers its students, employees, scientific staff and teachers various services. The focus is on important questions such as when the opening hours of Beuth University are. For students, the opening hours of the library, the study administration, the dean's offices, the study and recreation rooms are also important. For these reasons Professor Thomas Ziemer proposes to develop a chatbot for the university. ==== Target group ==== The chatbot is aimed primarily at students, teachers and visitors to Beuth University. It helps the above mentioned groups to quickly get information about the learning rooms, Mensaplan and other services of the university. The chatbot also provides information about the weather. ==== Scope ==== Beuth University has an interest in offering a service that leads through the university. This service is intended to help new students find their way around Beuth University. This includes, among other things, that students have knowledge of exam dates and the teaching staff's consultation hours in order to better organize their studies. The chatbot also answers questions about the Mensaplan. The Mensa's offer is varied, e.g. the Chatbot answers to inquiries, when there is vegetarian or vegan food. It has other functions as well: So it can answer questions about the next week's menu and can consider hints from users, such as the request of a vegetarian.
