Case study
VK-bot of the university library
Students search for and book books from the university library directly in the chat
01 Task
It was inconvenient for students to check the availability of books through the library website, because... I wanted to do it where they already sit, on VKontakte
02 Solution
I made a bot for VK in Python. A catalog search, availability, and booking take place right in the dialogue. Connected to the library data so that the statuses were current, and not from an upload a week ago
03 Solved tasks
- Helped to formalize the technical specifications
- Created a university library bot for VKontakte in Python
- Implemented catalog search and availability check
- Implemented book booking directly in the dialog
- Connected the bot to the current library data
04 Result
Search and book a book directly in the VK chat, without going to the website. The flow of standard questions “is there a book” to employees has dropped noticeably
