ChatPANGAEA: AI-Driven Chatbot for the PANGAEA Ecosystem

ChatPANGAEA is an AI-powered chatbot, developed as part of the DataNord Research Academy and within the framework of the research project “SmartReps”. Sponsored by DataNord, ChatPANGAEA is designed to simplify and enhance PANGAEA’s data curation process. By addressing fragmented knowledge and information silos across PANGAEA-specific wiki pages, it enables users to efficiently access, retrieve, and interact with relevant data in real-time.
