UMD Virtual Agent
The UMD Virtual Agent is a Generative AI (GenAI) chatbot. UMD Virtual Agents are an advanced type of artificial intelligence that uses machine learning, particularly natural language processing (NLP), to engage in human-like conversations. Unlike traditional rule-based chatbots, which rely on predefined scripts and responses, GenAI chatbots generate responses in real-time based on the context and content of the conversation. They learn from vast datasets and can adapt to a wide range of topics and queries, making them more flexible and capable of handling complex interactions.
Available Virtual Chatbot Agents
Departmental: This can be created for a department or a smaller unit within a department. It can be internal or public-facing.
