Feature Request: AI Chatbot for Community Support

[ayushraaj-01]

Description

We can integrate an AI chatbot (either API-based like OpenAI / Gemini / Cohere, or a custom-built model) into our community platform. The bot will act as a virtual helper to answer questions related to the community, events, projects, or general technical queries.

Why This Feature?

✅ Helps newcomers get quick answers without waiting for admins/mods.

✅ Saves time for leads & moderators by automating FAQs.

✅ Creates a more engaging and tech-friendly community experience.

✅ Can later be extended to:

• Answer coding/technical questions

• Share learning resources

• Provide project guidance

Possible Approaches

1. API-based chatbot

• Use OpenAI / Gemini / Cohere APIs for Q&A.

• Simple integration with Discord / Slack / Telegram / Website.

Custom chatbot

• Train on our community docs, FAQs, and past events.

• Deploy using open-source LLMs (LLaMA, Mistral, etc.).

• Host on server/cloud for cost efficiency.
