CCI Knowledge Assistant
A planned agentic RAG assistant for finding institutional information.

The opportunity
Institutional information is distributed across university websites. The proposed assistant would help staff and students find relevant resources through conversational questions.
The proposed approach
The initial pipeline is to collect institutional web content, index it in a vector store, and retrieve relevant passages to support generated answers. This is the retrieval foundation for the planned agentic assistant.
Architecture questions
The design needs to address content freshness, source attribution, public versus restricted information, and what the assistant should do when it cannot find reliable supporting material. Any agent tools and actions will need explicit scope and access boundaries.
Evaluation before rollout
A useful evaluation would check whether answers are supported by retrieved sources, whether links are relevant, and whether the assistant handles missing information appropriately. These are planned validation criteria, not measured results.
Current status
The institutional chatbot is planned for after the hosting migration. The final implementation stack, agent tools, and deployment details are not yet documented. This page will evolve with the design and implementation.
