CHAD – Student Assistant

In a world where AI seems capable of solving almost anything, this project focuses on a different kind of challenge — the small, contextual problems that students face every day and that are often overlooked.

CHAD was built around a simple idea: What if a rule-based assistant could truly understand the real needs of a university student?

📌 About the Project

CHAD is a desktop application developed in Java (JavaFX) that helps students navigate academic life at UTCN in a practical and immediate way.

Instead of relying on generic solutions, CHAD focuses on providing clear, structured, and context-aware information tailored to student needs.

⚙️ Features

The application can:

• 📍 Help students quickly find:

  • classrooms
  • the secretary’s office
  • the library → with detailed, location-specific guidance

• 📅 Display daily schedules instantly → e.g. “What classes do I have on Monday?”

• ⏱ Show break intervals between classes

• 🧭 Generate floor-specific directions → no more wandering through hallways

• 🌍 Generate direct Google Maps links for buildings

• 💬 Provide structured academic information through a conversational chat interface
