“There’s gotta be a better, more efficient way to get these answers to the users or students more easily. And that is why Humboldt came to us and with this problem, and they feel the same pain that we do and that is why we bring to you lucky.”

Problem

 Navigating websites to find simple answers to questions can be frustrating and inefficient, often leading users to call offices and interrupt employees’ workdays.

Technical Solution

Lucky the Lumberjack chatbot provides step-by-step guidance and dynamic buttons to help users find answers quickly and easily. It utilizes web scraping, knowledge base retrieval, and augmented generation models to understand and respond to user queries effectively.
