Inspiration

Students often struggle to find accurate information about college rules, academic schedules, notices, and campus facilities. Most queries end up being asked in WhatsApp groups or require waiting for faculty replies. We wanted to build a solution that provides instant, reliable, and official answers, while also giving students a structured way to submit complaints or issues.

What it does

CampusConnect Desk is an intelligent assistance system that: Answers student questions in real time using officially provided college data Provides circulars, notices, and updates in an organized way Lets students submit complaints or requests Allows admin/faculty to view, track, and respond to those submissions Sends responses back to the student through the system Reduces faculty workload and makes information accessible 24/7

How we built it

Frontend built using typescipt and react for a clean and responsive UI Backend implemented using flask to handle student queries and admin operations Integrated an AI model to interpret questions and give accurate answers based on official sources using the GEMINI API key Database used to store student complaints, admin responses, and logs Admin dashboard created for managing submissions and replying to students

Challenges we ran into

Ensuring AI gives responses strictly based on official data Cleaning and formatting college circulars so the model can read them accurately Creating a smooth workflow between student submissions and admin responses Handling authentication and secure access for admin Time constraints while integrating multiple modules

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Built a functional AI-powered query system within a short time Created a complaint/issue portal that actually works end-to-end Clean UI and intuitive student experience Reliable admin dashboard with real-time data System reduces confusion and makes campus communication more transparent

What we learned

Practical integration of AI models into real-world applications Efficient backend design for multi-user systems How to structure college data so it becomes usable for automated systems Importance of user experience when designing student-facing applications Team collaboration under hackathon pressure
