Students and faculty often struggle to find specific information in dense academic handbooks. A RAG chatbot powered by FAISS vector search and LLMs like Google Gemini could provide instant, accurate answers.

Universities would pay for this to improve student experience and reduce administrative workload. The first version could focus on one department or course handbook.

The biggest risk is ensuring the chatbot understands complex queries and provides reliable answers.
