UniAssist
A verified-source university information assistant for international students navigating high-stakes decisions.
Problem
International students need dependable university information, but unverified answers can create avoidable risk.
Solution
UniAssist retrieves from administrator-curated PDFs and web content, then grounds and verifies responses before delivering them to students.
Architecture
A retrieval-augmented generation flow connects a curated knowledge base to a response layer and an answer-verification layer, with Telegram and MAX as delivery targets.
Technical decisions
- Use administrator-curated material instead of an open web corpus.
- Ground answers in retrieved source material.
- Add an answer-verification layer before delivery.
- Design for Telegram and MAX as distinct delivery targets.
Challenges
- Maintaining a trusted source collection as university information changes.
- Making source-grounded answers clear enough for real student decisions.
