A chatbot is an algorithm, a programming script, designed to give users the ability to communicate and interact with it online in order to perform a specific task, without any human factor involvement. In the beginning, chatbots were exclusively programs with which it was possible to correspond by exchanging instant text messages. The main focus of the paper is on the presentation of usage of chatbot ADA (Academic Digital Assistant) based on artificial intelligence. ADA chatbot was developed to provide students with an enhanced study service and the necessary information during their studies. Statistical parameters of the use of chatbot ADA and the analysis of statistics of conversations by channels show growing trend in the use of chatbots in all three surveys of communication channels (Viber, FB Messenger and Website). The conclusions of the analysis of top 10 scenarios and number of conversations are shown that students' interests were in accordance with the school calendar and obligations.
Students can retrieve information from the website or use the services of an existing information system (provided the information system is on the internet). However, we know from experience that searching a website is time-consuming or even inaccurate, and the functionality of the information system is limited. Chatbot makes it more natural, efficient and faster. Chatbot can understand natural language, i.e. written text and voice messages. It gives precise answers and performs all actions intended by the website and / or the information system. But the website and the information system do not have the richness of language that the chatbot has. You have to log in to the information system and know how to use it, and each new version requires new learning. If you know how Viber or FB Messenger work, you probably know how to use chatbot. The services provided by chatbot are visible on communication platforms used by a large number of users, and thus the quality of these services is better. Due to the use of chats, the human resources of the educational institution are redirected/retrained to more responsible and creative jobs because the workload has been relieved. The paper presents a chatbot called ADA, developed at the Belgrade Business and Arts Academy of Applied Studies (BAPUSS), and shows basic usage statistics. It also points out the importance of chatbots as a communication channel in educational institutions.
