Tech Stack The web application is currently hosted locally. Python was used for programming the backend and Flask was used to handle API requests and responses; Used the Google Gemini API to provide chatbot responses Frontend: HTML for structuring UI with buttons for different subjects, CSS for styling frontend, JS for handling interactivity and making API calls to the backend For our work-in-progress custom-made AI model, our code parses through a separate text file, placing each substring of a specific length into a map, where each substring corresponds to a dictionary that shows the frequency of various substrings that follow. Given an input string, our bot looks at a substring of the same specific length, and searches through our map, and randomly selects a new set of characters weighted by the aforementioned frequencies.
