Abstract

The University of Lampung (Unila) Library has over 86,783 registered patrons, with 12,329 active users, including faculty, students, staff, and external patrons. Services include verification, circulation, procurement, e-books, and journals. However, limited staff availability to respond to inquiries has negatively impacted service satisfaction. To address this issue, the implementation of chatbot technology is proposed as a solution. A chatbot simulates human conversation through text, voice, or visuals. There are two types: Flow-Based Chatbots, which follow a predetermined conversation flow, and Open-Ended Chatbots, capable of handling dynamic conversations. Development methods include Fixed Rule-Based and Machine Learning/Natural Language Processing (ML/NLP) Based Chatbots. This research aims to develop a Flow-Based Chatbot using ML/NLP on the Dialogflow platform, integrated with Unila Library's local database through a Python-based API, specifically FastAPI. The implementation of this chatbot is expected to enhance the responsiveness and availability of library services, ultimately increasing patron satisfaction.
