• —app.py: Main Streamlit application
• —university_portal_faqs.csv: CSV file containing frequently asked questions and answers
• —unanswered_questions.csv: CSV file for storing unanswered questions for human follow-up

How It Works

The application uses a keyword-based matching system to find the most relevant FAQ for a user query. It then enhances the response using OpenAI's GPT-4o model to provide a more professional and helpful answer. If no matching FAQ is found, the question is saved for human follow-up.
