Welcome to our team homepage! We are a team of CIS majors at University of Dayton, and this page will offer an overview of our team project for the semester plus a look into some course information.
Project Overview
It is difficult to keep documentation up-to-date when working in a fast-paced environment with rapidly changing technologies. It is difficult to keep documentation organized and housed in a central location that is accessible and searchable. Our solution to this problem is to create a question-answer system in a chat application. This way, a researcher can type a question and quickly receive an answer.
Some Basic Requirements- Send questions typed into Mattermost server to an API (provided by UDRI), receive reply from the API and post reply to the chat.
- Save Mattermost chat from other users in the chat to the original question in the database as a possible answer to the question.
- Organise similar questions and determine which questions received the desired answer (reply).
Accomplishments
Over the course of the semester we were able to create a working chatbot within Mattermost using incoming and outgoing webhooks. We were able to reach one stretch goal of securing the API endpoint with a simple key matching function. We were not able to save questions and answers in a database.
