Last year marked the inception of an ambitious project led by a group of nine students, focused on elevating the user experience for applicants to the "Data Analytics for Business and Economics" program through the implementation of a comprehensive FAQ chatbot (@datahsebot). In the current academic year, a dedicated team of three students (Ivan Vitkovskiy, Evgenii Galushkin, Alexander Epaneshnikov) under the guidance of Professor Natalia Volkova, has undertaken the responsibility of not only advancing but completely overhauling and refining the existing chatbot.
