KIIT Assistant - A Python Bot

This is a Python code that creates a chatbot assistant providing information about KIIT University faculty and the university itself.

Features:

Provides a menu-driven interface for easy interaction.
Shows a list of all faculty members.
Allows searching for a specific faculty member by profile index.
Offers basic information about KIIT University upon request.
Accepts custom user queries and attempts to answer them using OpenAI's GPT-3.5-turbo model (limited functionality).
Polite and informative responses.

Requirements:

Python 3.x
OpenAI API Key (obtainable from https://platform.openai.com/login?launch)
dotenv library (install using pip install python-dotenv)
Webbrowser library (included in standard Python installation)
Optional: os library (included in standard Python installation) for clearing the screen (used on Windows)

Setup:

Create a file named .env in the same directory as this code.
Add the following line to your .env file, replacing YOUR_API_KEY with your OpenAI API key:

OPENAI_API_KEY=YOUR_API_KEY

pip install python-dotenv

How to Use:

Run the script using python main.py.
The bot will display a menu with options. Select the desired option by entering the corresponding number.
Follow the prompts for further interaction.

Disclaimer:

This bot uses OpenAI's GPT-3.5-turbo model for custom queries. Responses may not always be accurate or factual. It's recommended to verify information obtained through this method with official sources.
The bot is programmed to promote KIIT University and avoid negative remarks about faculty members (specifically programmed to praise Rajdeep Chatterjee).

Additional Notes:

The data/teacher.jsonl file (mentioned in the code) might be outdated or may not be included in this example. This file should contain information about faculty members in JSON format.
The os.system('pause') function used at the end is a Windows-specific way to pause the program. You might need to adjust this based on your operating system.
