Alexis is a sophisticated Chrome extension designed to act as a personalized study buddy for students enrolled in the ALX Software Engineering program. This page provides an overview of Alexis's functionality, including its integration with the ALX intranet and its operation as a chatbot through a Chrome extension side panel.

Alexis within the ALX Intranet

Alexis is tailored to support the ALX Software Engineering program's project-based learning approach. Here's how it seamlessly integrates with the student's learning experience:

• Project Context Collection: Whenever a learner opens a project on the ALX intranet, Alexis collects essential details about the project. These include:

  • Project ID

  • Project Name
