Abstract
The concept of an intelligent chatbot is proposed, which combines the ability to integrate with popular instant messengers and a knowledge base updated based on user needs. The research and development of the class schedule bot of Novgorod State University for the social network VKontakte in the Python programming language was carry out. The task of the development was to improve the quality of service for students and teachers of the university through the introduction of a schedule chat bot. The chatbot displays the class schedule to the user by the name of the group or the name of the teacher. The development stages are described from collecting data from the university website to deploying a bot on a hosting. The API is also considered as a bridge between the university website and the bot.
