CourseMatch Rasa Chatbot

This repository contains the Rasa-based conversational AI component for the CourseMatch platform.

Overview

The chatbot assists users with:

• Course enquiries
• Eligibility checks
• Admission requirements
• General academic guidance

It uses intent classification and rule-based dialogue management, with custom actions that integrate with backend services.
