LATTC Chatbot Testing

This is a development prototype of the Los Angeles Trade-Technical College AI assistant. Use the chat panel on the right to test questions, or click any sample below to auto-fill.

How it works

Advanced Academic Questions

Traditional chatbots usually rely on retrieval-augmented generation (RAG): they find a relevant page or passage and summarize it. That works well when the answer lives in one document, but it is less reliable when a question depends on multiple course records, changing course numbers, transfer rules, or live class data. This assistant goes further by combining campus documents with verified academic facts and live college services across all 9 LACCD campuses.

What this assistant can answer today:

Transfer eligibility — Is a course UC or CSU transferable?
GE area fulfillment — Which courses satisfy IGETC Area 2A (Math), CSU-GE Area A2 (Written Communication), or Cal-GETC requirements?
Course renumberings — 2,700+ auto-detected cross-references (e.g., MATH 227 became STAT C1000 across all 9 campuses)
Cross-campus course data — Compare the same course across all LACCD colleges without 9 separate API calls
Free textbook links — OpenStax peer-reviewed textbooks matched to relevant subjects

Campus-document answers are automatically checked against current course codes and verified academic details. Schedule results can include transfer and GE information.
