This chatbot helps members of the public get quick answers to common questions about programs offered by the NYC Department of Youth and Community Development (DYCD). It uses AI to understand the question and match it to a predefined answer from a staff-maintained knowledge base. The system operates fully automatically — no human reviews each response before it is sent. Users who need help with more complex questions are directed to the DYCD Community Connect team.
