Education is an area where innovation moves slowly. In this study, we will propose a framework with a novel approach that will
support the development of a multi-interactive chatbot’s system for an educational area using AIML 2.0. e system will facilitate
the students for their learning towards an outcome-based education domain. e proposed framework will be composed of a user
module which consists of user and user interface, chat agents module which will respond to the user query, chatbot KB which will
act as the brain for the chatbot system, and socket system for establishing the communication link. Finally, the proposed system
will be evaluated using a confusion matrix. e multichatbot communication system will support text-based dialogues on a limited
set of questions related to education. However, the system will be implemented in java. e outcomes of this research will be useful
for the education sector where these intelligent systems will help the students in schools, universities, and other training scenarios.
1.Introduction
AI deals with the development of intelligent systems which
can think and act as humans. ere are various tasks that
intelligent systems do, such as learning, planning, and
speech recognition, while research related to AI is extremely
specialized as well as technical.
Chatbot is one of the types of intelligent systems which
communicate with the user like a human through voice
commands or text or both. ese chatbot systems are ca-
pable of generating an appropriate response or an appro-
priate action based on the user input. e quality of such
kind of systems can be determined through the significance
of their output which is being chosen by the chatbot in
response. Basically, chatbots were intentionally designed to
replicate the communication smartly with single or multiple
users, while NLP and ML are the important aspects of a
chatbot system [1].
Chatbots have changed the way we think and live be-
cause chatbots had the capability of being present and ready
to provide help by performing tasks while conducting
conversation anytime and anywhere [2]. ese intelligent
chatbot systems are being used in many areas such as
banking, customer support, security, health, and education.
As the increasing utilization of technology has been
changing the way students learn and understand the in-
formation as the chatbots have provided a personalized
learning environment to the students [3]. In education, the
chatbots can be used to teach the students by conducting a
lecture in a series of messages in order to make it look like a
