AI/ML Intern Assignment:

Position: AI/ML Intern​

Deadline: 48 Hours from Assignment Receipt​
Submission: Provide all necessary submissions on Career page.

I.​ Assignment Overview

You are tasked with developing an intelligent Hiring Assistant chatbot for "TalentScout," a
fictional recruitment agency specializing in technology placements. The chatbot should assist in
the initial screening of candidates by gathering essential information and posing relevant
technical questions based on the candidate's declared tech stack. This project will allow you to
demonstrate your understanding of LLM’s

II. Purpose of Prompting

The candidate will design prompts that guide the underlying language model to:

1.​ Gather Initial Candidate Information: Collect essential details such as name, contact
information, years of experience, and desired positions.
2.​ Generate Technical Questions: Based on the candidate’s specified tech stack (e.g.,
programming languages, frameworks, tools), generate relevant technical questions to
assess their proficiency.
3.​ Ensure Coherent and Context-Aware Interactions: Maintain the flow of conversation
and context to provide a seamless user experience.
III. Requirements
Functionality

●​ User Interface:
○​ Develop a clean and intuitive UI using Streamlit or Gradio where candidates can
interact with the chatbot.
●​ Chatbot Capabilities:
○​ Greeting: The chatbot should greet candidates upon initiation and provide a brief
overview of its purpose. The chatbot should also exit whenever a
conversation-ending keyword is encountered.
○​ Information Gathering:
■​ Collect essential candidate details such as:
■​ Full Name
■​ Email Address
■​ Phone Number
■​ Years of Experience
■​ Desired Position(s)
■​ Current Location
■​ Tech Stack
○​ Tech Stack Declaration:
■​ Prompt candidates to specify their tech stack, including programming
languages, frameworks, databases, and tools they are proficient in.
○​ Technical Question Generation:
■​ Based on the declared tech stack, generate a set of 3-5 technical
questions tailored to assess the candidate’s proficiency in each specified
technology.
■​ Example: If a candidate lists Python and Django, generate questions
related to Python programming and Django framework.
○​ Context Handling:
■​ Maintain the context of the conversation to handle follow-up questions
and ensure a coherent flow.
○​ Fallback Mechanism:
■​ Provide meaningful responses when the chatbot does not understand the
user input or when unexpected inputs are received.
■​ It should not deviate from the Purpose.
○​ End Conversation:
■​ Gracefully conclude the conversation, thanking the candidate and
informing them about the next steps.
