Example

Example workflow

One realistic scenario.

Scenario: A student asks for the next midterm date in Telegram. The AI agent checks the calendar data in MongoDB; if the date is missing or outdated, it triggers a quick scrape of the university site. It returns the date, time, and venue, and posts a reminder if there are any schedule changes. Time to resolve: about 2 minutes. Outcome: The student receives an accurate date and location, with any changes communicated, and the calendar is updated accordingly.

FAQ

FAQ

Common questions about deploying and using the AI agent.

The AI agent reads a MongoDB-based FAQ store and the current calendar data. If necessary, it performs a lightweight web scrape to refresh scheduling information. Context from Telegram conversations can help clarify intent. All data reads are logged for auditing and improvement. Access is controlled by user roles to protect sensitive information.

Calendar data is updated via daily web scraping and incremental MongoDB updates. If changes are detected, the agent immediately reflects them in responses and weekly announcements. Historical data is preserved for reference. Automated checks flag conflicts or gaps for review.

The Telegram integration uses bot tokens and follows best practices for access control. User messages are processed by the AI agent with logging for accountability. Sensitive queries are restricted to authenticated users where applicable. Data in transit is encrypted, and sensitive data handling respects campus privacy policies.

Yes. The Gemini AI engine supports multilingual queries, and responses can be localized as needed. Language handling is configured per deployment and can be extended to additional languages over time. Translations are kept consistent with calendar and FAQ data to avoid mismatches.

Configure data sources (MongoDB collections for FAQs and calendar) and set the scraping URL for the new university. Validate data mappings and update the weekly announcements template. The AI agent then starts using the new calendar data immediately, with a fallback to scrape if gaps appear.

If essential data is missing, the AI agent triggers a targeted scrape to refresh the calendar. It then informs the user that data is being refreshed and provides the best available alternative. The incident is logged for admin review and to improve data coverage over time.

Yes. Announcements can be customized by channel and schedule, and data sources can be adjusted to include departmental calendars or additional FAQ pages. Changes are versioned and tested before going live. Administrators can preview what users will see and approve updates.
